The danger of the soft war comes from the danger of the multiplicity and comprehensiveness of the methods used and the employment of multiple and double forms of smart power in a soft and solid way ... Targeting everything related to the consciousness, perception and thought of man will lead to achieving results that a hard war cannot achieve because hard war destroys his building or establishment or Infrastructures capable of rebuilding and rehabilitating in short periods that quickly make the public easily forget their devastating effects, and even make them feel the magnificence of rebuilding and rehabilitating in new, more beautiful and larger ways ... and accordingly, since the end of World War II as the largest traditional war, the human mind began to devise new ways of war that must go beyond The short-term tactical range extends to a further strategic extent, and its destructive power must be wide and provide victories and achievements of another kind aimed at human awareness and perceptions and gradually changing concepts and cultures by means accepted by the human mind in the target society.
Since the nineties of the last century, the new intellectual influx of the concepts of non-traditional wars began to reach phases, where the Cold War and the Gulf War ended, and the time has come to declare smart wars, as the concept of hard war began to atrophy and the concept of soft war began to emerge ... The major powers have found that no victory can be sustainable. The results are better than a soft victory or an intellectual victory that includes attracting and appealing to the counter-mind and counter-thought, softening it with various means of technology, communications, and media, and turning it into a supportive thought or at least a neutral thought according to the principle (if you are not my friend, then not my enemy) and the start of a comprehensive attack with battles of another kind. And a weapon of another kind that targeted human consciousness by means and concepts of attraction in which there is no compulsion except to reorient the mind according to what it desires towards acceptance and reception of concepts that were unwanted and undesirable ...The soft war targeted societies in all its segments by using and creating means of intellectual attraction, reorientation and brainwashing operations in innovative ways that created a mind that accepts new perceptions, as there is no escape from accepting the needs and necessities of new life in terms of technology, means of communication and media ... But that soft war is reckless with all its means. A positive effect was the emergence of another kind of awareness, namely the awareness against the soft war, as a response, as a new generation appeared aware of what was happening.
What the godfathers of the soft war wagered on from the results of the directional strategy has created a state of counter-awareness and counter perceptions, and the process of employing the means of soft warfare has begun opposite .. We see that the present time is a very important stage in focusing on the issue of soft power and adopting broad awareness methods and mobilizing energies In order to start an efficient intellectual fortification process to prevent the risk of submission and falling under the influence of soft war means through:
1- Adopting a wide media campaign to educate about the dangers of dealing with soft power means.
2- Adopting soft countermeasures of war more than it is now.
3- Establishing intellectual arsenals and specialized centers in this regard.
4- Using technology, communications, and the media in an opposite way.
5- Disengagement and attempt to nationalize the sectors of technology, communications and media, and to adopt national technology, communications and media projects.
The enemies have realized the extent of their mastery of smart warfare means, as they create an unequal mixture of an intelligent situation in which they use hard power on the one hand in order to clear the way for their soft power to enter the ranges that their hard power does not reach .. This is what made the major powers create virtual enemies Those whom it harnessed in order to deplete the resources of the target countries as it did when it intentionally created extremist armed organizations such as Al Qaeda and ISIS and pushed them towards pre-selected fields, and at the same time the other side created soft forces parallel to the hard force heading towards the determined goal in achieving the tactical and strategic achievement by harnessing the resources All mankind and material in order to achieve its goals of world domination and the acquiescence of states and their subjugation by alternative force at times, and by attraction at other times.
The major powers have made all countries need them because they are the ones who control the material and human resources in the fields of technology, communications, information and media.
The process of polarization and intellectual reorientation of human energy by using all material resources is a method of soft, destructive war that has reached its apogee at the present time ... and despite the presence of those who adopt the counter-soft war, it does not rise to the level of competence in the face of the enemies in a way that limits the power of the soft attack that We are exposed to it ... that the multiplicity and extension of the soft war fronts makes it a very difficult war ... and despite the absence of means and lack of resources, the intellectual fortification and the adoption of a process of building counter-awareness, thinking and perceptions mature and aware of the basics and means of smart war with its hard and soft means will impede the advancement of the enemy towards its goals and will make The task is difficult and therefore we will make gains that will give us time to maneuver and even launch a smart, solid and soft counterattack that will confuse the calculations of the enemies because in the concepts and basics of wars, whether hard or soft, traditional or non-traditional, there is no absolute victory as long as the battle continues.
