A new geopolitical strategy, termed the "Casino Doctrine," leverages ambiguity and undeclared conflicts to exert control and gain leverage. This approach involves maintaining uncertainty around potential flashpoints like Taiwan or the South China Sea, allowing nations to test resolve without triggering formal responses or sanctions.

Businesses, particularly those with complex supply chains, are ill-equipped to handle this strategy, as they typically model risk based on clear war or no-war scenarios. AI
