I agree with your analysis that this is a core issue, but something that bothers me with these discussions is: > If you are a major power with the capability to make 100K+ killer drones "The major power" is the people that make up the country, which largely don't support this stuff, but there's a handful of decision-makers that can push for this even when the people don't want it. I feel like it's helpful to focus on how it is individual people making these decisions that are going to harm others - not just a result of a country having a certain amount of power/capability. Any one of those people could go public and say that they're not going to let their country go down that path and that they'll discourage others from doing it, but they choose not to for fear of the results.
