I don’t understand this whole idea that we are going to not having drone and autonomous weapons. Ukraine is being fought with drones. It’s the first drone war. 300k people have died in the Russian side alone. 1 million casualties.

How do you suggest we stop the lessons from the first major drone war from spreading? With hope? Prayers? The terrifying thing about it is - the US is actually already behind on this technology, China can build 1000x more drones than the whole West.

Many civilians have seen how drones were used in Lebanon and Gaza, and hesitate to trust Western leadership with that type of kill chain.

It's a borderline certainty that 9 Mothers employees will eventually contribute to the death of an innocent protestor or journalist that opposed the state.

Would you rather everyone except NATO had these capabilities?

I'm saying it is a slippery slope. Look at General Atomics, whose employees are accomplices to war crimes.

"My drones are only for killing terrorists" is always the rose-tinted glasses used to frame murder. The pushback is 100% expected.
