>>65547096Most insurgencies were defeated or largely eliminated during the late 2000s and 2010s. The ones that survived were generally those that either adapted to some form of statecraft or governance or were actively funded and protected by a state actor, for example Pakistan’s sheltering and support of the Taliban.

>>65547096Look at Myanmar today, several freedom fighters (or terrorists groups depending on your view) have started using drone recon and kamikaze drones already.They are extremely affordable to the point any group of a couple of thousand can afford them in even the thirdiest of economies.
>>65550644>Most insurgencies were defeated or largely eliminated during the late 2000s and 2010s.There's something in the range of 130 currently ongoing armed conflicts and the overwhelming majority of them are insurgencies or large-scale gang wars. And the only ones that you can argue have been "permanently" defeated (only in the sense that they haven't restarted hostilities, yet) as of late are the Tamil Tigers, the Irish Republican Armies, the ETA, and arguably FARC (substantial numbers of dissidents have refused to surrender their arms though and continue fighting under its banner). Even the Islamic State remains active in Iraq and Syria despite having suffered near total defeat and has actually made substantial gains in Africa.>The ones that survived were generally those that either adapted to some form of statecraft or governanceI mean, that's arguably the end goal of just about every insurgency. Destroy the central government and become the new authority.
