Asymmetric drone warfare is here and the case for cutting the military budget has never been stronger.

Why pour hundreds of billions into outdated military tech when it’s becoming abundantly clear that most of the equipment that’s built immediately turns into sitting ducks?

Cut the military budget by 90%. Invest the remaining budget in to defensive drone infrastructure and put the “savings” into bitcoin.

Drastic times call for bold action.

sitting it’s most of pour for case been the and action. the equipment into times built military when bold has that’s budget drone abundantly by military becoming budget of 90%. to bitcoin.

Drastic in into is cutting remaining drone infrastructure defensive billions Asymmetric budget into warfare immediately put the turns here ducks?

Cut the for outdated and call the clear stronger.

Why never the hundreds Invest tech military “savings” that

Not against this

Bold action require courageous politicians/decision maker

How is that going to help defense contractors make money?

killer drone swarms would just lead to hardened buildings tho, and to overcome that they have to move further up to the right to be feasible (ie, they must be drone carrier drones) and the AIs have to learn to recognise soft points that can be widened enough to permit access... while also having to carry those rockets.

i would argue that drones and AI drone swarms are actually next after strategic nuclear, because they are fundamentally missiles, at lower velocity, that can do surveillance, sabotage and assault, and support (ie mesh networks) all in one.

idk if you ever read any Bart Kosko but he did a lot of work engineering ballistic missile systems and he basically said once an army has these, most of the rest of the army doesn't matter.

what's happened is the next phase, where scale means being undetected, and AI means autonomous, heteregenous drone deployments that can take on multiple roles, as well as failover between them (eg, most drones can probably carry mesh routers)

Where is this graph from? đź‘€

Softwar

don't put any ideas in their heads

Fight the next war not the last! See you at the Jawn🤝

That’ll never work Marty! How do they sweep trillions of dollars into black hole operations with a plan like that?

What if there is no good defensive drone technology? Every single time there’s been a test, the counter UAS systems lose. Radars, all sorts of cameras - doesn’t matter.

You can just build better defense

and what would that be?

politics aside, this war is a outlook into the every future war ...

Sounds like a reasonable plan to me.

War in cyberspace through hashing #Softwar

But then how will they launder the money 🥺

that, and the AI

Marty, a book for you to read if you haven’t yet is Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15808659-kill-decision

TL;DR - dystopian future based on asymmetric drone warfare

-The First Truth -

Humans are more important than hardware.

He’ll read it after Mandibles. Sorry Marty I couldn’t resist 🤣.

Boomers would never

Solid take. And why we have an active military presence in 170 out of 190 countries seems a bit unnecessary as well.

Nah, I want my soldiers to die a heroic death, like in the movies.

But what about all the contractors and the jobs ?

This is a shit-your-pants moment for all militaries.

You don't have to build a large standing army to destroy hardware. But you cannot hold ground with drone swarms. You can deny ground with drones. They are like flying mines, a cross between a sniper and an artillery shell, and when they are AI-equipped, they can target autonomously.

A possibility offered by Tom Luongo. Consider that the justification for the interstate highway system was for military purposes. Perhaps a rebuild of bridges and such could be done under the military budget?

Considering Luongo, Alex Krainer, and EM Burlingame’s identification of the enemy Trump is fighting, I’m open to the argument that he has to take a twisted path.

Would be good to see Tom in another discussion with you. 👍
