Extraordinarily well written response to a question many might consider impertinent, even though the question itself was well stated. Thanks for that.
Thanks man. Many will consider me naive, and perhaps I am?
I just get no joy in seeing these vids even if the Russians put themselves in harm's way. Some didn't, but we're forced at the point of a gun. Shitty way to go in either case.
Peace out.
Was it rude? I was genuinely curious as I could see a myriad of valid reasons why the introduction or use of these drones are worrisome. I myself am torn over certain aspects of their use and design that drives me to wonder whether or not they may inflict unnecessary suffering. I cannot argue against their efficiency (nor their need), and I believe that Ukraine has every right to defend itself and repel Russia as an invading force, but they brought up a valid point about what the future could hold in using this technology for warfare. I just wanted to understand them, personally, and the reservations that drove their stance on it.
