War is changing faster than most people realize, and Dave Cosnotti has seen it firsthand. After more than two decades in Army Special Forces, Dave now works alongside American and allied forces on modern national security challenges involving drones, AI, cyber warfare, critical infrastructure, and the rapidly evolving battlefield.
Dave’s biggest warning isn’t that America has already lost its edge — it’s that being on top today guarantees nothing about tomorrow. Warfare is evolving too quickly for old advantages to last forever, and the next world order may belong to whoever learns, adapts, and moves fastest when the rules change.
Key Topics:
- How AI, drones, and cyber warfare are changing the battlefield
- Why Ukraine is becoming a testing ground for the future of war
- Why Dave says Russia is still an enemy of the United States
- How China has played a longer geopolitical game than America
- Why America’s four-year political cycles can create a strategic disadvantage
- The growing threat to America’s power grid and critical infrastructure
- What happens if communications, power, or supply chains go offline
- Why future wars may target civilians and infrastructure as much as militaries
- Why humans still matter more than technology on the battlefield
- Why Dave believes the next 3–5 years could be especially turbulent
