Hi, I'm Deciding Whether to Shoot You


China Exporting Killer Autonomous Drones To Middle East: Should You Be Scared? By Karan Sharma | Published: Monday, November 11, 2019, 12:00 *


"Autonomous," as in "No direct human oversight," and "Makes its own kill decisions."

Just call me "Tommy Gun Gertie."


                                      These guys can also form up into SWARMS.


They coordinate:  "You go in high, I'll go in low. Lefty, go 'round to the right. Mess 'em up.

They can carry many weapons, grenades, incendiaries, lasers. And really loud speakers to talk to the targets.



Pick a weapon, any weapon, and latch it to my belly button.

China is churning out new ones by the day. The biggest market? The Middle East. The implications of that are mind boggling. My mind is boggled the most by the fact that these little murder machines are perfect for crowd control.  The algorithm: "Disperse or die!"

(Small comfort: The U.S.A. has been developing some swarm defenses. - not that there's likely to be such gear at the average political demonstration.))


Perhaps you have noted that I am extremely concerned about China pushing America out of our #1 spot in world influence. Seems to me that our ideals are generally better, democracy is the superior system, and kindness and mercy are a bit stronger drives here than in China. I'm just a crazy idealist, y'know.

Share my concerns by checking out a few of these prior pronouncements on this aged blog:
