Cross Domain Coercion

Muscovy’s War Magic doctrine is called “Cross Domain Coercion.” The idea is to get inside your enemies head - say, Germany. Then you persuade Germany that the sky will fall in if Germany agrees to let Ukraine (Germany and Austria murdered millions of Ukrainians between 1941 and 1945) into NATO. Germany falls for the troll. Russian war magic achieves its aims, simply through War Magical means.

Cross Domain Coercion is War Magic given a doctrinal name. Russia’s formal military strategy is to get inside the enemy’s head and manipulate them into self-defeating decisions through information alone — no kinetic force required. The Germany example is devastating: Russia exploits German historical guilt about Ukraine to prevent Germany from letting Ukraine into NATO, achieving a strategic objective “simply through War Magical means.”
