Pentagon Says It Will Start Buildng Drone Armies to Deter China

It took war in Ukraine to for the Pentagon to understand that the future of warfare is drones when most everybody else could easily see it coming. However, there is not as much money building drones as overpriced manned aircraft for defense contractors:

The war in Ukraine has shown the value of low-cost drone swarms in modern warfare. Now the Pentagon is planning to build an army of thousands of small, cheap drones in hopes of spurring U.S. drone production and cutting China’s dominance of that market.

American drone makers are hoping the Pentagon’s “Replicator” program will give a shot in the arm to U.S. manufacturing. Defense experts say there is a need for Washington to build a drone supply chain that doesn’t run through China, due to the small but real risk of a future war between the two rivals.

“Defense experts say there is a need for Washington to build a drone supply chain that doesn’t run through China”

That’s easy.

First, you start reshoring your semiconductor industry.

Then, you get everyone in debt and destroy the middle class so you have a Chinese-grade pool of desperate and cheap labor, happy to work for the war machine.

After that, you… waaaaait a minute.

Look, I don’t think China is in any shape to start a war.

They are facing economic collapse and their people, even in the big cities, are starving. And the starvations are just starting. Look at these Chinese zombies, are they really in any shape to wage war?

Sounds like exactly the right time to start a war.

PENTAGON SAYS IT WILL START BUILDNG DRONE ARMIES

The first step will be a 25 million dollar study to determine the difference between a drone army and a drone air force.

Drones? You mean like chinabots? Or UAVs?

Good luck then. Fight them alone when they attack. You’ve badmouthed and economically blackmailed all your allies. Not a smart thing to do to build a coalition.

China won’t attack America… or even American assets like Iran will do through proxies.

China will attack Taiwan.

Then America has to shít or get off the pot.

America will talk Freedom and Democracy and Domino Theory. Then, America will badmouth anyone who doesn’t join the coalition against the Axis of Agression (China, NK, Russia, Iran, etc).

If that doesn’t work, America will use economic blackmail.

In the end…

Ta-dah!

Coalition!

It will be the exactly most smart thing to do to build a coalition.

“China will attack Taiwan”

That depends. China highly unlikely to attack Taiwan until the Taiwanese election is over next year. China is waiting for the results, and they could attack if the ruling party wins. If the China-friendly KMT Party wins, then they won’t attack. Even if the ruling party wins, China attacking Taiwan is out the window if Trump comes to power right around the same period. Trump has stated he would make a deal with China over Taiwan. Trump will hand over Taiwan to China, in return for a favorable trade/economic deal/concession from China which Trump can wave in front of his own people claiming MAGA. Trump is a money-grabbing President beholden to nobody (except Israel and except for the mighty dollar extorted from other countries).

Well, we do know that the Setnaffarians want tensions to rise in the Korean peninsula so that the USFK will stay in Korea forever.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if they are praying for war just like their right-wing wacko compatriots.

I can’t speak for others, but I am praying for war.

Korea’s economy is doing terribly.

Since we know Korea CAN supply weapons to countries at war if they really want to, a nice world war is a great economic boost for Korea.

…though might be smart to stop supplying loser Ukraine and start supplying winner Russia so Korea can get a piece of that Pacific Russian timber, minerals, and oil & gas.

Will this be the case in a couple of years when the US political landcape changes again with a new Trump region? This is why I’m in support of S.Korea to not get into regional conflicts to pick sides. Trump can very well make peace with both Russia and China in return for financial rewards for the US – a move that will leave countries like South Korea holding an empty bag vies a vie those countries that South Korea profited from so much in the past but abandoned recently due to US pressures.

Trump Derangement Syndrome can turn peace and prosperity into a bad thing. Silly never-Trumpers.

But I am in agreement. Korea should generally not pick sides and should sell to whoever offers an acceptable medium of trade.

World peace would certainly not be beneficial for Korea’s economic future, so war that is not in Korea is mostly beneficial… even more when Korea’s power is supplied mostly by nuclear with a much lower reliance on imported oil.

(No thanks to you, Globslist-Keep-Korea-Dependent Moon.)

The wars we have now are pretty ideal.

Ukraine is getting what it begged for and
Industry is spiraling downward for the snotty, self-destructive Europeans fixated on worthless immigrants and fraudulent carbon offsets.

Venezuela will FAFO and the voters will find an increase in daily hardship. (Protip: Don’t open a pet shop there.) We will have another example when trying to explain why the wrong kind of socialism fails.

An attack on Taiwan requires only one cruise missile salvo to get rid of TSMC and a few other high-tech factories that America and Korea are clearly preparing to fill the production vacuum of. Nobody will miss the Taiwanese for long.

Africa is a weapons market that never goes away. (Protip: Korea needs a budget line of weapons for cost-conscious nations as they squabble with other nations using scrappy arms in pointless wars… perhaps machetes with some value-added bling).

And, speaking as both a goy and an infidel, there have been no attrocities in the Middle East. Carry on.

Salesmen from Kimchee Heavy Weapons should be knocking on the doors of all these regions and peddling their wares.
