However, I think it is important enough that I would like those who read my work seriously to have first look. The central point is that the future of much state-state warfare is emerging right before our eyes and it is frightening indeed. It is a combination of ranged fires and war crimes, which will obliterate the whole idea of there being a clear battlefield while at the same time allowing states to target anything they damn well want, civilian or otherwise.
