It's not just that, the author is clearly a disillusioned lib who's very miffed that the West failed to fulfill its promise to crush Russia.

See:

But crises don’t send calendar invites. Nobody expected a full-scale land war in Europe in 2022. The defense industry had thirty years to prepare and didn’t.

The West already made this mistake once. The bill came due in Ukraine.

Maybe AI gets good enough, and the bet pays off. Maybe it doesn’t. The defense industry thought peace would last forever, too.
