@NewRulesGeo I bet the American plane does exactly the same stuff just China stole the technology and has a better industrial base so they were able to build it first
there are only a few thousand people left in america that know how to design an injection mold, even fewer for die casting and other molds/dies. a dying art that will cost the economy trillions of dollars over the next generation if we let it slip away.
$150,000. That's the price tag on a humanoid robot built to carry the same rifle a soldier carries — walk at almost 4 mph, haul 44+ pounds of gear, clear a building before any person steps through the door.
A US startup called Foundation already holds $24 million in contracts with the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Their stated goal: 50,000 units manufactured by the end of 2027 — scaling from roughly 50 units this year to 10,000 next year alone.
Here's the part people get wrong: nobody's building a robot that decides who to shoot. Current protocol requires a human to confirm before any automated system engages. What they're actually replacing is the soldier who has to be the first one through a door, the first one over a hilltop, the first one into a room nobody's checked yet.
An Army general once floated the idea that robots could replace a quarter of combat soldiers by 2030. That prediction is now over a decade old and still hasn't happened — which tells you the timeline, not the direction, is what keeps being wrong.
The honest version of this story isn't "robots are replacing soldiers." It's "the military just found a $150,000 way to stop sending a person first."
This is getting so tiring. This is probably the 10th time he's done it since the war began.
I don't care whether you do the attack or not, but threatening an intensive attack and then backing down projects enormous weakness.
Trump's unpredictability was a strategic asset for him, but at this point he might just be the most predictable man ever.
This is the opposite of peace through strength.
@visionergeo This is being done because Trump told them what he was going to bomb. He said it himself he tells them what he’s gonna bomb so they just move everything and then they lie and say OK we agree to the deal they buy enough time to move all their assets and go right back to normal.
@strange0714@sentdefender It’s because the idiot we call Trump keeps telling Iran what he’s gonna bomb so they just buy enough time to move everything and then they go right back to acting how they were. There are literally reports from Iran of large amounts of assets being moved. Trump is an idiot
