    Russia about Ukraine in 2022: Ukraine is really just part of Russia.

    Ukraine about Russia in 2026: Russia is really just Ukraine’s drone testing range.

          Lots of refugees from the Ukraine went to Russia. Well over a million, 1.3 million in 2023. Probably more in 2026, but there is no data.

    I wonder if they are calling it the “drone deal” just to get under Trump’s skin. After all, he views the world as a zero-sum game, and the US as competing with Europe. So, any deal thar Europe “gets” is one less deal for the US.

    Ukraine’s territorial integrity shouldn’t be subject to “deals”, but here we are.

    Reminds me of this short from a while back. It didn’t quite predict the focus on smaller, cheaper drones, but still pretty good:

    This is also some good context about drones being the future of warfare, including in space. Star Wars having fighters duke it out with human pilots will almost certainly not be a thing:
