QUESTION: Marty, I believe you said the war in Ukraine has completely changed warfare. Drones are the new weapon, and both sides are using NVIDIA chips. Former US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said he thought the war has reached a turning point and that technological superiority will give Ukraine a chance to defeat Russia.
Would you comment on that given your computer and geopolitical expertise?

ANSWER: This is starting to resemble the movie Terminator. There is a kill zone between both sides where you stick your head up, and you are killed by a drone. I know Driscoll has joined Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google and now head of the US defense company Perennial Autonomy, which operates in Ukraine. Schmidt has become the Merchant of Death (published 1934) for World War III like DuPont was for World War I. He claims he is defending democracy profiting from every kill, yet Russia has elections and Ukraine does not. Interesting how you look the other way when the money keeps rolling in.
I believe they both share the same ideas and both seem oblivious to how this war started and who has been pulling the strings. The very idea that Ukraine can defeat Russia is really absurd. Putin just warned the EU not to send troops to Ukraine. The EU & NATO want this war. Just like Iraq, there was never any planning for what came next after removing Saddam. Nobody even asks if Russia is defeated, what would happen? There is no consideration that a coup could take place and the old hardliners grab power and they too are like NATO and would love to even the score.
These people seriously lack any sense of history or geopolitics. They are too busy admiring themselves in the mirror as they spout Neocon propaganda without checking the facts. This idea that Russia can be utterly defeated is as absurd as proposing that the USA can be defeated. Propose that to the US military and high generals will quickly say they would nuke the adversary in such a condition.
China has warned Trump they will cancel any summit if the US sends military supplies to Taiwan. If you are a completely linear thinker, incapable of seeing the world as a whole, they are pushing us into World War III with this nonsense. China would join Russia and North Korea, to mention just two, because they KNOW that if Russia were destroyed, they are next. China is preparing for “national total war” – America is the enemy named in the Pentagon report.
So we now have drone wars with machines flying around using NVIDIA chips to decide autonomously who to kill. Nobody seems to think beyond the end of their nose. We have FLOCK cameras targeting people and some police departments are also engaging in tracking financial activity and using it as a pretext to pull people over. Britain has more people in prison than Russia for what they wrote on something like Facebook. Welcome to the world gone completely nuts as we head into 2032.
