The Culminating Point of Victory
Clausewitz warned about what he called the culminating point of victory, the moment when offensive success reaches its limit and begins to reverse.
If a war continues beyond that point, even a stronger power can see its strategic position deteriorate.
This principle has shaped countless conflicts where early military success eventually produced strategic exhaustion.
The Hidden Battlefield: Perception

Social media claims about explosions, nuclear rumors, or battlefield victories often circulate faster than verified intelligence. The information domain therefore becomes another layer of strategic warfare.
Victory is no longer purely territorial.
It is psychological and narrative as well.
