Proximity's Price: Soaring Costs as Armies March, Draining the Lifeblood of the People in a Dramatic Economic Struggle
Sun Tzu said, "...the proximity of an army causes prices to go up; and high prices cause the people's substance to be drained away."
Would you say prices are going up? What about your substance being drained away?
Maintaining a military presence at a distance is a costly endeavor. The expenses involve logistics, personnel deployment, infrastructure construction, and ongoing operational costs.
Supplying and sustaining forces in foreign locations demand substantial financial resources, straining national budgets. This economic burden raises questions about the sustainability of long-term military commitments abroad, prompting nations to carefully weigh the strategic benefits against the financial toll.
