Missions can be pre-programmed, but there "will always be a human monitoring the mission", it added.
Great use of it.
Reminds me of Eclipse Phase nano swarms. The video suggests these are less than a meter in length and not yet weaponized (although the nice CG at the end suggests they will be firing off missiles to blow up random buildings in a desert like environment).
Whatever your opinion is it doesn't really matter, the US government will continue in this direction because it is expedient.
What does it matter? Justice died some time ago in the US. Be good little citizens and don't dare challenge nor question those in power.
Be sure to refuse any wealth not given to you by the government or risk having everything taken because they came from someone deemed unfriendly to the status quo. Instead be extra safe and only work for the government then you can fear no punishment.
The cost of one tourist suffering from heat stroke and dehydration because the restaurant didn't put a glass of water in front of him while eating far outweighs any water savings.
You live in a bubble wherein everyone there is there to serve the government. The people you know are probably also amused that torture goes unpunished.
The more I consider your argument the worse it becomes.
How many times have we heard politicians complain a foreign country is blaming their problems on outside forces and rallying its people by saying they do what they must to protect themselves from the evil west or whoever?
How is your argument rhetorically different than any demogogue in history? Obama stands up and has the gall to drcry foreign extremism, meanwhile he stands silent on the torture occurring in front of him in his own yard.
War is not peace, despite how often you shout such nonsense.
Also, stop attributing arguments to me and that I'm not making here.
Judged by their actions, American policy makers have zero interest in improving the life's of ordinary civilians throughout the middle east. We ignored Bahrain, we are actively supporting the Egyptian junta, we arm random Syrian rebels, we indisrimately bomb the former remnants of Iraq.
But answer my original question, you seem to be fully willing to work for and defend n entity that tortures and murders without cause, would you also work for a mass genocidal killer? How is it controversial to express repugnance for those willing to abet torture?
So your argument is yeah we torture and murder people without cause but this other guy over there, he tortures and kills even more people so it's okay.
America is also recently responsible for hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties in Iraq and surrounding countries. We continue to support a military junta in Egypt -- anyone want to dredge up Obama's beautiful speech about freedom he made in Cairo?
No one has really responded to my question, how bad must your employer be, apparently torture isn't bad enough, before you refuse to work for him, or at least stop applauding people who sign up to go help out at the torture club.
The fact that you are being down voted is a shame.
The US government tortures people and cares not for the rule of law, this is the entity people seem perfectly happy to support? Where do people draw the line? Is it at genocide?
The Arab spring was largely crushed with the help of American largesse. We ignored Bahrain, we never stopped funding the Egyptian military and said nothing when they reestablished control.
People are unwilling to oppose government control, and when they are they get crushed by outside forces. People in American continue to work for the government, it's even considered prestigious.
We can't even prosecute torture. People who believe in the government are dangerous idiots.
