A Thought on the Ukraine War and Fort Fumble

If the procurement boys at Fort Fumble, both Army and Marine Corps, aren't figuring out how to gear up industry to produce hundreds of thousands of expendable drones a month, then all of them need to be fired (or shot) and replaced with Ukrainians.

For that seems to be about the current burn rate in that war. Scouting drones, FPV attack drones, decoy drones. Imagine, if you will, that there is a way to have a patrolling cloud of drones to attack, head-on, any aircraft over or near the battlefield. Turbines are not too happy with debris coming in the air intakes.

Mass-produced FPV drones are probably killing more soldiers than tube artillery and less expenisvely.

Also, a first-world military force with oodles of drones will stamp *paid* to all those dreaming of acting out far-right rebellion fanfic.

The political Left is always authoritarian in nature. It will always seek to threaten, control, and destroy those with whom it disagrees. Despite its claims of peace, it is only ever concerned with accumulating and wielding power.

Meanwhile, up the Yangtze, China is building three drone-only carriers. Then, they're going to have them war-game against their Fujian carrier.
Drones aren't just for dry land.

Oh, please, Gray. The authoritarian threat in this country for generations has come from the Right, from the Businessmen's Plot and the Christian/German Bund in the 1930s to the neo-Nazis and the J6 insurrection of the present day.

The only people talking about acting like dictators have been your guys.

Get a grip, man.

Ukraine is where the fast learning occurs
Ukraine has equipped its maritime drones with Grad missile systems: they have already been tested in combat

Who benefits from this knowledge?

Which makes the upcoming election even more critical. Not only will TOFF have access to at least the start of that, but access (perhaps legitimately, perhaps not) to the most vast surveillance network ever created. Anyone wanna bet that your cell company won't be forced to push malware into your phone as a "security update" ?

It is very fair of you, Comrade, to let a projectionist comment. But I think his movie is not a documentary, but pure fiction.

I am continually amazed at the ability of the Right (wrong) wing to project the worst of its attributes onto the left wing. Without any admission that they have those traits in abundance.

Every Republican accusation is a confession.

Grey said...

You think those people are the political Right? Fascists are just veru slightly to the right of the Communists and Socialists, but they are also Leftists. They're still authoritarian.

Grey said...

We have a similar claim: Every Democrat accusation is projection.

Only ours is true.

Comrade Misfit said...

Grey, you do not get to decide what is true and what is not.

More to the point, let's look at recent mass murders by your side: Charleston Church Massacre. Buffalo Supermarket Massacre. Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre. If I went looking, I could fund many more. Those were all mass killings by people espousing right-wing ideology. Right-wing terrorists have committed more terrorist acts in this country and killed more people than any other group since 9/11/2001.

It's your side that now has put in place a legal ideology that presidents are mostly above the law. Every move the Right takes, they move to restrict individual rights and enhance corporatism.

Under this Supreme Court, individuals have fewer and fewer rights. Business has more and more.

You defend authoritarianism. Grey.
