We're already at war on multiple fronts without Ukraine

Battlefields aren't defined only by lines of tanks, landmines, artillery and bunkers. In 2022, they are everywhere – visible riots and invisible cyber attacks; mental assaults in the schoolyards; physical invasion of our backyards; and emotional misdirection saturating phone, computer and television screens in homes and workplaces. The deliberate confusion generated by the barrage of deceit is non-stop. Combat zones have been framed by the enemy and, as in all wars, trained fighters are deployed to repel attacks by sea, land, air (hypersonic) and now space. Over the last decades electronic subversion and infiltration have escalated on the homefront as well as foreign shores. The war against common decency and liberty to work, speak and worship as we choose is being waged on multiple fronts. To counter the unending onslaught, it's become a matter of individuals deciding in which battles to engage, and preparing themselves to dig in and defend their family, home and lives.
