not to blast, but to blind

not a step forward in warfare. It is a shift

not a test. It is a message

not brute-force tools. They are archetypal trickster weapons.

Not designed to win battles, but to upend balance

not to kill soldiers. It is to unnerve populations

not tools of conquest. They are tools of doubt.

not about full-scale invasion. It is about narrative control.

not war crimes in the traditional sense. But they are acts of war.

not kill cleanly. It kills indirectly.
