Theoreticsl warfare in 50 years time.

In the far future a commander could be connected to a military without knowing what country or it belongs to or where it operates. This could be done through digital anonhmized communication.

The battlefield could have a virtual representation. This is all well and good. The commander does not know where the troops are and other details, need to know and all that.

Commander could be rented out to allied countries. But through a series of bizarre events the commander could end up commanding the opponents military. Without even knowing it, because of virtual battlefield and anonymized information.

This would not be a serious problem as long as both opponents don't end up in war with each other.

A commander who discovers himself in this situation would want to get fired from one or both responsibilities. Problem would be if both opponents already knew about this situation and still refuses to fire "their" commander.

Only way out of this is if commander try to prevent the two opponents from ending up in warfare with each other. But if it comes to conflict just end the war very quickly in a draw. 

Useless infiltration

It is irritating for a dude to get the job to infiltrate a hostile intelligence network only to find out they got no teeth, no capacity to commit violence at scale. That infiltration was more or less unnecessary.

Most intelligence networks are feared because people are afraid of their violence potential, but most if not all are completely weak. They don't even act if you threaten to kill their own children and grandchildren. All they do is run to the police and demand protection when they get afraid. And they always become afraid if you push them.

Before when intelligence agencies wanted revenge for someone not doing as they wanted the intelligence agency used to poison kid girls so that their face got destroyed, but this practice has largely stopped since the perpetrators have been killed.

Hostile intelligence networks organize bullying of children.

Most of the bullying of children that occurs in a country is organized by hostile intelligence networks consisting of relatives of the children who bully.

Often several families form an intelligence network.

Bullying is used as a means of forcibly recruiting a child at an early age, while another child from the same intelligence network pretends to be friends with the vulnerable child to recruit it in the long term.

This has been going on for generations in all countries in the west and the government is too cowardly to even talk about it.

Some problems should be kept secret, but this is not one of those cases.

Why is this still allowed and why is the security services such cowards and does not act and does what is required.

Government put vast sums of money to combat bullying of children.

Instead the adults in hostile intelligence networks should be killed by covert units and the children be taken care of by the government.

And by the way, the people killing for the government should celebrated. These are the few people in the intelligence and security services that does anything useful. The rest of the personnel just analyze the obvious and try to catch baits placed by the enemy.

Networks

Many networks are based on families networked together working toward their own goals for generations.

These are the real power structures in society. Families preventing democracy by threatening to hurt politicians kids and by bribing people.

Intelligence and security agencies tolerate this because they cooperate with these networks.

A common method by networks is to find a kid with talent and influence it during it's life so that they can use that kid for power and influence during it's life.

One favorite usual method is threatening the mother that they will torture and kill her son if she does not abuse her own son sexually. Later on that son  will focus his anger against his own family and can be easier controlled by the network. When he later in life learns the truth he can not kill his own mother as revenge since she was forced to torment him.

The networks make sure that the boy's family and others harrass him by placing their own network as neighbours and aquaintances to spy on the family. It is not unusual for different intelligence agencies to help with this process by providing wiretaps 24/7 365 on the boy and his family.

Later on the network try to keep control on the son who has become a man by making sure that ge meets a wife that they control. That wife may or may not be loyal to the network, but if she is not they will threaten to hurt her family. The most usual method applied is coercing the wife to be verbally abusive against her husband and refuse to have sex in a way that her husband enjoys. Almost always the wife is coerced to pretend to be unfaithful or even influenced to be unfaithful for real. Friends of the husband and wife are usually planted separatedly in the man and womans life in their early childhood. So that they trust their friends and tell them about their marital problems. These friends will often inform their network about information gained.

Later on if the man does not behave the network will make his private life unbearable by making sure that a divorce happens and that the man loses his kid.

Social services are a favorite tool for these networks since they prefer soft power. Personnel in social services are almost always people placed by these networks.

If a normal person gets a job in a social service they will be socially isolated and later loise their job or be recruited. This is how many networks do in many private companies and bureucracies.

Later on the network will prevent the man from meeting some nice girl by using friends and other people nearby to indirectly influence nice girls to stay away from the man. Or if need be just try to directly prevent the man from succeding when he is flirting with a girl.

These networks have been doing this for many generations. That is why they are so comfortable and practised in these methods. And they will continue to this since it is a family business. The only way to stop this is obvious, but most countries are too bleeding heart. 

Some of these networks and their behaviour is the real threat to democracy.

Different intelligence agencies are tiring of this and will terminate some of these networks that behave or have behaved disgustingly.
