Is that not sort of the obvious conclusion, right now? Military power is in flux, and not what it was even ten years ago?
It sure feels like “soft power” is “real” power - at least until (if) someone sorts out a defensive strategy. Bluster and bullshit appear to get very limited results, no matter how many missiles are behind them.
