Joint Force Quarterly
Abstract
In a world fraught with ongoing tensions and conflicts, the strategic interests of nations are shaped by the political decisions of their leaders. As we approach a critical national election, it is essential for the next President to confront global realities with pragmatic solutions. War, its causes, and its resolutions continue to dominate international relations, with military leaders tasked with formulating strategies based on national power. As history shows, starting a war may be easy, but ending it is fraught with complexity. This summary urges reflection on how to align national interests, strategies, and actions to prevent future conflicts and stresses the importance of active participation in the national decision-making process through voting.
