Description

There are over 100 conflicts happening right now all over planet Earth, wars that most of us would  like to see an end to. But the battlefields of today are a very different to the ones of last century; the white flag coming out of the trenches is no longer enough to stop bullets.
Wars are being controlled by satellites and fibre optic cables. 
In March this year a supposedly ‘invincible’ US Abram tank worth a cool $10 mill was destroyed in mere minutes by an unmanned Russian drone that cost its owner $500. When warlords have digital capability, a digital ceasefire is called for.
