What if in 1920 someone told you that looking back 100 (or even 200) years, you needed a strong agrarian society with a lot of service age men and horses to win

What if in 1920 someone told you that looking back 100 (or even 200) years, you needed a strong agrarian society with a lot of service age men and horses to win wars?
Technology has changed so much since 1920 I somehow doubt it's useful to look that far back for specific strategies.
If you don't care to boss around non-nuclear states, you just need a credible mutually assured destruction scenario.
- curiousllama 6y agoEven if you do care to boss around non-nuclear states, coercion is most effective when it is low-cost/high-impact - cyberattacks and economic warfare fit that bill better than sending in the tanks. Like, the reasons Brazil hasn't invaded Venezuela have little to do with its lack of a car industry.
