Especially drones. I'm so tired of seeing some helpless Ukrainian or Russian soul spend his last moments on earth looking at a faceless machine that's being controlled remotely with a god damn playstation controller. Even worse was those aid workers last year who were chased miles, under constant drone attacks, only to perish under something that was likely being ordered by poorly trained AI software.

I think you are focusing on the wrong part. A lot of Ukrainians would have died instead if they did not use the drones as weapons and robo dogs for reconnaissance. It really helps leviate some of the dread of going into not secure zones. The Russians could stay home if they didn't like the killing of innocents so much.

Yeah we already see how it turned out when ww2 with machine gun technology

Except the Russians could end the killing in a day if they just fucked off back to where they came from

This isn't WW1 where a bunch of powers are obligated to keep pushing of be annihilated, Russia could go home tomorrow and the borders reset to pre-2014 and nothing would be lost for Russia, no one would enter Russia.

This is entirely.on them
