Evidence

The geographer Derek Gregory explains the “need to analyse not only the ‘forever war’ but also what we might call the ‘everywhere war.’ ” — Grégoire Chamayou, A Theory of the Drone, 827

Categorization

• DEFINE: Introduces the everywhere war / forever war distinction as a conceptual frame for drone warfare’s spatial unboundedness.
• XREF: Connects to Anderson’s ‘implied geography of war’ critique at location 851 and the ‘legal geography of war’ debate. — connects to: Modern drone asymmetry is a continuation of colonial weapons double standards; Drone warfare establishes a norm neither war nor peace via imperial immunity; Drone strikes outside declared battlefields violate international law — Grégoire Chamayou, A Theory of the Drone, 251 (+9 more)
