Robots will lower the threshold for war. Bombs are not precise, and even solders tend to be a bit too generous with the machine gun. But robots can be much more accurate, can be mass produced, and nobody cries over them. Less collateral damage and no risk to your own soldiers - perfect. In the future we will very likely see an industrialized nation trying to pacify a non industrialized trouble spot with robots. The more interesting question is, what about technological equals. Presumably that concerns only entities cable of producing sophisticated robots. That might actually include developing nations like India and Pakistan. China and the US are just too economically integrated to have a full on war. But India and Pakistan might decide to settle Kashmir with robots. What we would have then is most likely robots pushing people off land they consider home. That's gonna be bad.
