FIFTH GENERATION WARFARE

SIR :

In the current era,  global leaders  have forsaken  conventional warfare in favor of '' Fifth Generation Warfare ''.

Every state is well aware  of the Nuclear  capabilities  of other states.

They are cognizant  if the devastation that could take place if Nuclear weapons are ever used, Should a large conventional war ever take place, the likelihood of a Nuclear confrontation  is very, very high.

The subsequent destruction could destroy the planet.

Fifth generation warfare on the  other hand,  minimizes these risks. It is quiet obvious that   Afghanistan   is being used for  regional and global powers as a   battle ground  to secure their  geopolitical interests.

In the same way, the apprehension of Indian spy in Baluchistan is another lucid example that fifth warfare is in full swing. India cannot use nukes against Pakistan as  Pakistan itself is a nuclear state.

The US on the other hand uses innovative technology for cyber warfare and to accumulate data from all over the world.

The more advanced a state is technologically, they more success they are likely to have in this new form of warfare.

China has raised the issue of Cyber security at the United Nations [UN], but since the United Nations [UN] is a American cat's paw, it has not taken any stringent steps in this regard.
