I didn't say who the aggressor was. With the west, "we" are pumping in billions of aid and the US DoD and the State Department finally getting to fight Russia without having to fight Russia, we have a proxy war. But ignore I said that, because it tangential to the point I was making and the point you ignored. Good technologists are everywhere on the planet. This is a supporting comment in that "the good guys" don't have a monopoly on the ability to create hyper-lethal, extremely low cost automated weapons. The point which didn't land, is that the war in Ukraine, regardless of how we got there is funded by two parties and is being technologically participated in by many more. America is really good at blowback, like that is all we export. The low-cost, high-enough drone and autonomous weapons that are created during this war will have huge implications. Something we should have thought about before going down this path.
