World enters new form of warfare, DRONE WARFARE, instead of boots on the ground // Afghanistan // SCIENCE COUNCIL RULES EARTH.

Last time I wrote to this book, my 47th published book of science was in June 2021 on the topic of cheetah's returning to India. What a beautiful story that made my day in June.

And I am glad we have a new president, president Biden, a normal president that does not cause me to have to almost enter a new page in this political science book, almost every other day, under the tumultuous Trump era presidency. For under Trump, it felt like the Capitol Building was being raided every day, and not just the one day. A good description of the Trump presidency would be "Tumult years". And some of that tumult caused me to have to write articles so often to this book. But since Biden came into office, I have barely written at all.

But now I see the evacuation of Afghanistan and the coming to power of the Taliban once again after 20 years of absence. And I see a mass exit at the Kabul airport.

And I see and hear pundits all over the TV news, saying this and that.

So I want to offer my humble opinion on the future of warfare, as clearly seen by these last days in Afghanistan.

And the writing is on the wall, clearly on the wall for all to see, unless you are living in a cave for the last 20 years.

The ascendency of the Drone as a war weapon.

If we had had the Drone as we have it today, back in 2001, and with sharp intelligent leadership, we could have wiped out the terrorist groups that caused 9/11/2001 with never a soldier's boots on the ground. We could have done it all, from drones.

Instead of ever going into Afghanistan and staying for 20 years, we could have accomplished all of that with only the use of drones.

Going forward, there is never any more need to send troops on the ground, when Drones can do all that is needed.

And the other major political issue is mass migration, mass fleeing of a country.

And here again, Drones can be the main weapon of choice. For what causes mass flight of people, mass immigration are countries with poor governments, and the drones take out those poor governments so the people stop fleeing.

Some people have seen the powerful effectiveness of drones. Drones killed many al Qaeda, even killed the Iranian military leader recently. And, if the Taliban get out of bounds, the drones can stop them also.

In fact, if we had had drones like we have today, in the Iraq Saddam Hussein war, the Drones could have completely handled the war, but perhaps let Saddam hide away, but more importantly, stopped the war and never any boots on the ground.

In fact, the Syria crisis could have all be shut down in a few days if Drones had been applied.

Can Drones solve North Korea? That is a bit more tough, but I am confident that drones can play a major role in keeping North Korea in check.

Instead of ever going into Afghanistan and staying for 20 years, we could have accomplished all of that with only the use of drones.

Going forward, there is never any more need to send troops on the ground in any of these "smaller wars", when Drones can do all that is needed.

You do need foot soldiers if a major war breaks out, say USA - Russia, or USA-China.

And the other major political issue is mass migration, mass fleeing of a country.

And here again, Drones can be the main weapon of choice. For what causes mass flight of people, mass immigration are countries with poor governments, and the drones take out those poor governments so the people stop fleeing.

Never any "nation building" when drones are the weapon of war.

In fact, the Syria crisis could have all be shut down in a few days if Drones had been applied.

Can Drones solve North Korea? That is a bit more tough, but I am confident that drones can play a major role in keeping North Korea in check.

What if we had had Drones in the Vietnam War, as we have drones today? Well, I think because Vietnam is such a jungle, not a desert like much of the Middle East. That Drones are not as effective in jungles. But the idea that, drones can be effective over the few people who control governments in rogue nations is a most powerful weapon. So that in Vietnam era, it is conceivable that the entire Vietnam War could have been controlled by Drones, knocking off the top leadership until a leader emerges that the West feels comfortable with.

So, what AP is saying is-- warfare has moved from the old paradigm of invasion, boots on the ground and years of lives and treasure wasted. And given into the Drones as warfare.

Well, it certainly did not take long to prove this title of this thread to be shown true. Just 2 days later we have our first of what will be numerous, numerous strikes, all by drones, silent, up high, no boots on ground, and lethal.

The drones used in warfare now, when was their first availability? Probably not 20 years ago when we entered Afghanistan, and I always said in my posts that such was folly for it was a police-action of rooting out the terrorists, never to nation build Afghanistan. But sometime in the past 10 years could one say that the drone technology is so good, that we could have evacuated Afghanistan some 10 years ago, instead of 20 years.

Human warfare has moved to that of drones by 2021, and silly and foolish to have armies in wars unless it is a nuclear war.

And odd and strange, that armies now are probably more useful in policing throngs of immigrants fleeing their dictators, rather than armies in the traditional sense of invading a country. No, now armies are made to enforce crowd control as immigrants do the invading. And ironic that what solves people flight, immigrants is for drones to go into those countries of enmass flight to immigrate, the drones go into those countries and remove the dictators so that the people no longer flee their country, but stay at home.

So the world has changed in warfare dramatically and large scale. All because the world is much smaller of a community with our technologies of global interactions seen 24 hours a day and a global intertwined order. And this global network calls for a new order of warfare-- the drones.

Things to worry about:

1) rogue one death star ( kyber crystal super laser )

2) neutronium, better than (archimedes) plutonium


LoL, looser

Neutronium (sometimes shortened to neutrium, also referred to
as neutrite) is a hypothetical substance composed purely of neutrons.
The word was coined by scientist Andreas von Antropoff in 1926
(before the 1932 discovery of the neutron).

which he placed as the chemical element of atomic number
zero at the head of his new version of the periodic table.

Everybody like neutron stars:


Archidummy Plutodummy was lifted by a drone.
He can now be visited in Area 51
