There is nothing wrong with using killing robots to defend your country. Once you are attacked and your family is in danger of rape and murder you will ask the gov to use any means available. Would you prefer them to use artisanal swords? Its the new dawn, the danger is real, there is no place for conspiracies ( that's probably when skynet will be created, oh well everyone wants to survive now not later in ideal future)

Now all we need to do is tell the attackers they can't use the killing robots, problem solved.

The US (and Israel) is the leader in Hi-tech and mil spending, using cutting edge tech is clearly main advantage. It does not make sense to responde symmetrically with nukes and stuff

Here’s an idea: tell Putin he can’t use nuclear weapons, then invade him!!!

Unfortunately the same technology can be used to attack people. The world would maybe be a safer place if weapons technology hadn't evolved from sticks and stones.

Longer sticks, bigger stones, further arrows, thicker armour, pointier tips, faster horses, gatling bullets, heavier tanks, distant artillery and hypersonic missiles.

It would be a safer place for the physically strong, perhaps.

It would be a far more dangerous place for a slender 18-year-old girl.

I think most slender 18 year old girls rely on the protection offered by strong (or strongly armed) people regardless of far advanced weapons technology is.

Most people rely on others for their own safety. That’s not the point that I’m trying to make here. Rather, I’m saying that weapons technology is the only thing that has freed the individual from being subject to the whims of those physically stronger than themselves.
