Hmmm. How do we know when ANY conflict has reached its end, when there
is no assurance that the combatants are really acting with the authority
of the state, cause, or name they are claiming? Who can be trusted to
"speak" for the parties concerned?
The question begs another:
Why do we need to "know" that a conflict is "ended"?
Is it because we can then safely redirect or reallocate strategic resources?
For a major war, this might seem reasonable. But where cyber-conflict is
concerned, and "forces redirect" can occur on a moments notice, the only
remaining reason to identify end-of-conflict seems political, to be able
to "declare victory."
Perhaps, we are simply observing a mutual cease-fire for the holidays.
Cheers!
