All right, so this is a reflective post on the latest military developments. In the Ukraine fight, we have seen an increased use of drones, arial as well as marine. Probably also land based.

It’s a real game changer, and will expand its capabilities rapidly. So what is the good and the bad about this.

First of all, what is the essential skill you need to run these drones, is it valor, physical strength, ability to organize large bodies of men?

No, it comes down to a whole new set of skills that were never really important in warfare before; computer skills. The ability to control the gadgets and gizmos on the battle field. In a very real sense, the viking warrior is replaced with a computer geek.

This carries MASSIVE implications for the European style of fighting. We have been used to be able to combine roman discipline with norse berserker mentality.

This is not usable anymore, when the drones end up dominating the battlefield.

Now, who are the most geeky people in the world, who have money? The Chinese. They are actually geeky to an extent, that they are MORE geeky than us.

What are they doing? They are sucking all computer skills out of the US. What will happen, when the Chinese are the ones developing and producing all the hardware that goes into the drones?

You guessed it, the Chinese will dominate the world.

We have, essentially a window of 10 to 15 years, before the new military paradigm is in full force. That is the time we have to beat China. If we dont, they will dominate, militarily, culturally, and suck the marrow out of our bones. That is the reality.

So, the threat is pretty bleak. They can already hack our current systems, which means, that they can turn our weapons against us.

If we do not manage to get the production of essential units home, and stop the intellectual bleeding to China, we are essentially in a lot of trouble.

We have to focus on this, and tackle the threat as motivated as possible.

G-d bless the will to find peace, and be prepared.
