In Canada, we’re planning on buying fighter jets from a fascist neighbor who can ground them with a click of a mouse.
I would prefer we looked towards the future.

A few weeks ago, Peter Zeihan argued on his podcast that AI swarms will change the geography of nation-states. It’s going to bring back the Roman empire concept of marches.
At the moment, a government can enforce its laws all the way to its border. If a neighbour wants to invade and enforce its laws instead, it takes an enormous amount of money to buy the hardware to do it, like tanks and fighter jets, and most nations can’t be bothered. But if they do, once you’ve rolled the tanks in, it’s easy to control the territory behind them.
Drone swarms are the opposite. They’re small and cheap, so fighting becomes an option that’s more available to more people. And while they’re destructive, they can’t really defend territory from other drone swarms. This means wars can go on for longer.
So nations at war won’t have fixed borders any more. It’ll be more like the Roman Empire, where the government can impose its laws on its capital, but not at its borders, which will be just a carnage of endless war over a fuzzy border area that constantly changes hands. Borders won’t be a line like they are now, they’ll be a swathe of land.
The Roman Empire called this the „marches“, the area of territory at the edge of the government’s control that the soldiers had to march to. Unfortunately, we may see that again soon.

AI powered drones capable of autonomously search for a specific target.. such as a human being?

One step closer to “cmd: drone_ACTIVATE 119187 End Protocol “*sys_code=$total balance is -$50000USD (@=mkt)* armALLguns FIRE repeat until @unit86>” times population of whatever nation builds them.

Everyone involved in weapon sales, manufacture, and development trying to get a slice of the cash cow that is the Ukrainian war.
Blood for dollars. Dollars for blood.

Will drones become more and more used by terrorists too?

Holy shit
I’m both frightened and very excited at the same time…
Should I cum?
Edit: is this a palmer luckey venture?
That’s Screamers you got right there.
Now the subject having the wrong number of limbs is a feature.
I’m sure there is a black mirror episode about this 🙂 [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5709236/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5709236/)

„Oh no, so scary, literally black mirror“
Maybe the collective West should’ve sent Ukraine more conventional weapons then. Necessity is the mother of invention
