5GW Theory Timeline

Excerpt:

While America cannot win a 4GW, she can win a 5GW — a war of hidden movements. America won the Cold War because, in spite of losing popular support for the struggle against Communism, she created institutions that kept the war going regardless of the will of the people or most political leaders. The Military-Industrial complex that gave America the ability to fight a world war long after the intellectual elite had despaired over nuclear “victory” was central to success.

Dan Abbott postulates, first, that the Military-Industrial Complex that was created to fight a world war kept operating long after the original designers faded from view or direct involvement — thus, it was a type of 5GW structure — helping to win the Cold War, and, second, that present crises require a modification to that structure, a modification which Abbott calls “a “Military-Industrial-Systems Administration-Complex”, utilizing aspects of Thomas P. M. Barnett’s PNM theory for his own.  The nature of the present crises will require long-term strategic thinking and a long time frame for operations if America is to win, but political will power is unlikely to remain strong; therefore, a structure similar to the Military-Industrial-Complex should be created that will continue to operate long after political willpower for fighting the war has disappeared.
