What can you say abvout the use of drones in war
Imagine going to work. You sit down at what could pass for a gamers' console. You use it to control a drone thousands of miles away and blow up enemy combatants. You may even be awarded experience points. You then go home to watch a Friends episode or maybe play Call Of Duty with your friends for e few hours or watch the news to see if any enemy combatants got blowed up. Hell, you may even go on CD and if someone best you in an argument you can always tromp them with, "Don't make me fly my drone over there and blow you up!"
At that stage China in alliance with Russia will be the new global superpower, and the US (and the rest of the west) will most likely be licking their bootheels, unless of course WW3 breaks out before then. Why do you think the US are building all those missile "defense shields" in eastern europe, turkey etc., adn doing likewise in South Korea, Japan etc.
The US is attempting to contain Russia and China, and doing it under the guise of the bullshit excuse of the danger posed by Iran and North Korea but anyone with a brain can see whats really going on.
I hope you realise those enemy combatants mainly consist of dirt poor Afghan, Yemeni, and Pakistani civilian's i.e.
"The former chief counter-insurgency strategist for the US State Department has estimated that drone attacks kill 50 non-targeted persons for each intended target."
“We have opened up a new realm of warfare, a new realm of breaking, breaching international and domestic law,” says Lawrence B. Wilkerson, former chief of staff to United States Secretary of State Colin Powell in 2002-2005."

3000 people were killed during the 2004-2007, the cia claimed that 80% of these eaths were islamic militants, while even the most groups not associated with the US government will admit that they kill about 10 civlians for every 1 militant, either way the uS is illegally killing lots people in another country. Something like 500 have already been killed in pakistan alone so far this year
I know, right. You'd figure they would have learned by now ;)
BTW, long time no see. How have you been? I hope good. Don't be a stranger. You know you can always find me here stirring the pot shoveling BS to whoever takes it seriously ;)
If someone is at risk of killing civilians of their own country, or serving men of mine, I do not care if they are dirt poor or if they were raised in multi-million dollar mansions. Their personal finances are irrelevant.
"If someone is at risk of killing civilians of their own country, or serving men of mine,"
Did you even read what i wrote, you are killing civilians, generally when you kill people their families don't like it, so they resist, when they do this you call them terrorists, what would you do if flying drones were sending missiles into your town, would you say oh it serves us right for not bending over and taking that big US dick up our ass when the they decided they were going to invade our country.
"Their personal finances are irrelevant."
Actually the opposite is true, the fact is if your finances were equal you would be able invade their country and kill them cause they'd have the money to defend themselves, you have no idea what your taking about, tunr back whatever propaganda you watch, im sure it will tell you how to feel and think about this exchange cause your clearly incapable of doing so yourself.
Considering the use of the unmanned assassination devices known as drones to be humorous is callous to say the least. Perhaps we should be frightened to speak up in opposition to their use?
Eventually all war fighting will be done by unmanned machines."
Correction: "eventually all war fighting will be done by wealthy developed countries using unmanned drones against impoverished underdeveloped nations, and their populations"
"Because developed nations never fight each other?"
I think we both know that in the vast majority of cases strong opponents generally fight much weaker ones that cannot adequately defend themselves (i.e. the entire history of US foreign policy since the end of WW2), whereas opponents that present a major threat due to their strength are rarely attacked i.e. US vs. USSR is case in piont
" Nor undeveloped nations fight each other?"
The debate subject is concerned with drone warfare, the fact is underdeveloped countries are never going to have the finances to develope significant number of drones for their military,therefore when impoverished countries go to war, as they often due, they won't have drones are their disposal, therefore my piont stands, and your reply doesn't.
That isn't to say they won't use drones but they will most likely be unable to acquire enough of them to give themselves a serious military advantage, and even if they did, your original piont about all done armies fighting other drone armies really falls flat on its ass when applied to impoversihed countries, i think most people would agree with that.

Maybe they shouldn't go to war and behave themselves ;-)
"Maybe they shouldn't go to war and behave themselves "
Ya they should behave themselves, they should be good little slaves, they should bend over and take that big 15 inch US dick and like it, isn't that right. The cheek of these people demanding things like freedom, the right not be occupied by foreign powers who only want to steal their resources, the right not to be killed indiscriminately. You said it Joe, they've got some fucking neck!!!!!!!!!!!!
Warfare was much more personal, was very intense and has been the same way for hundreds of years. But, then again...drones allow fat kids who played video games through high school to join the Air Force and keep playing video games.
