  • US opened to the door to using all kinds of "security consultants" giving Blackwater contracts in their bs war in Iraq.

    Kind of naive to think its something that only started happening in Iraq in ~2003

    There have been large scale private armies of mercenaries since the 13th century.

  • You can call me naive, but I was hoping we would have been past this mideval crap. Of course wars are always about money and resources, but when will we be too far that road. Corporations are not supposed to have a concience like nation states. Their only raison d'etre is to create shareholder value.

  • I would say it is safe to speculate that unless a treaty is put in place on autonomous arms and warfare then it is safe to conclude their is a 100% chance a mercenary robot/ drone/ autonomous army is in the future

  • Corporations are not supposed to have a concience

    I'm not sure supposed is the right word here, I'd say they really should do, but too many companies and people have been convinced of

    Their only raison d'etre is to create shareholder value.
