Comment on How does one country prepare to fight the other? With out spies? Like Iran is fortifying against a US strike. But how do they know what we will strike with and vice versa all thru history?

First, you always spy.

Second, you monitor public information to determine enemy tactics and develop wargames around those strategies.

For instance, anti-aircraft strategies against the USA changed radically as the USA launched preliminary drones to set off Iraqi radar stations then launched cruise missiles against all known pings.
