Modern war isn't won by counting bodies or even dollars. Increasingly, it's about turning modest resources into precise, inexpensive weapons. Drones are weakening the old connection between economic size and military power.⁣ ⁣

Whitney Webb exposes the climate movement's shocking truth. Groups like "Just Stop Oil" are funded by oil dynasties—Rockefeller, Getty. Why? They've shifted the focus from real pollution to CO2, making you the villain, not the corporate or military polluters. The goal? Control. Control energy, and you control a family's economic power, mobility, and even its size. This isn't about saving the planet. It's a war on human agency and prosperity, with climate alarm as the weapon.

🚨In Gaza, the constant buzz of Israeli drones fills the air. An investigation by Al Jazeera’s Sanad team revealed that Israel is repurposing commercial drones into weapons of war. As these devices become more accessible, the line between civilian and military use continues to blur.

The reluctance of NATO leaders to be drawn into the War on Iran started by the U.S. and Israel- is also about ensuring military resources for Ukraine are not diverted. Russia’s war machine is already getting a boost from loosened sanctions.

"We have not seen the same kinds of reports of violations of international law from the use of quadcopter drones in the Ukraine war by either the Ukraine military or the Russian military," says Wes J. Bryant - Former Pentagon | War Analyst. How similar weapons are used in Gaza suggest "intentionality and deliberate targeting" of children.

$The Iran war has exposed one of the biggest scams with the military-industrial complex. Despite spending trillions of dollars on defense, Iran has been able to damage and neutralize American weapons systems and military infrastructure using weapons that cost only a fraction of the price. The United States maintains the largest military budget in the world, and the Pentagon can't pass a single audit. All this as infrastructure at home deteriorates, and living standards become increasingly difficult for everyday Americans. If smaller militaries can challenge American power with far fewer resources, what are taxpayers really getting in return for this enormous level of spending? I discuss this and more with Danny Jones.$

‼️🇨🇳🇺🇸 China isn't just building drones, it's building the industrial muscle for a superpower rivalry with the United States. Reports indicate Chinese industry can manufacture around 500,000 FPV drones per month, with wartime production potentially rising even higher. Beijing knows that challenging America's global dominance isn't only about aircraft carriers, stealth fighters, or nuclear weapons. It's also about who can outproduce the other when a crisis comes. The PLA has already tested large scale drone warfare in major exercises, while China's vast manufacturing base gives it an advantage few countries can match. For decades, military power was measured by the quality of weapons. The next era may be decided by something far simpler: who can build millions of them. China appears determined to make sure that answer is not the United States.

ELON: FUTURE WARS WILL BE FOUGHT BY DRONES AND AI “The biggest effect [of warfare's transformation] by far is AI and drones. The current war in Ukraine is very much a drone war already. If there's a major power war, it's very much going to be a drone war. It's going to be drones and AI. I do worry about the existential risk of AI, which is that if you employ AI and drones, do you go down this path where eventually you get to Terminator? We should try to avoid that and minimize the Terminator risk. [But] when you're making military drones, you are making Terminators. [In fact] I think you'll somewhat be forced into giving the drone localized AI, because if the AI is far away, it can't control as well as a localized AI. Meaning [the robot is] an autonomous killing machine. You give it the okay in a particular arena, and it just goes.” Source: West Point Military Academy, August 2024

Pakistani military–linked accounts claim that this news is false and say that anti-drone weapons have not fallen into the hands of the Pakistani Taliban (TTP- IMP). However, the reality is different. The Pakistani Taliban have been conducting operations against Pakistani forces using small drones, which forced the military to deploy advanced counter-drone weapons. When Pakistani military centers were overrun by the Pakistani Taliban, these weapons were seized as war booty and are now in the possession of the Pakistani Taliban.

⚠️REMINDER⚠️ All the nations of the Middle East, and the Islamic world, already agreed with Trump that the Iranian regime cannot have nuclear weapons and must be removed. Russia and China abandoned Iran also. The situation was always secure BECAUSE THE DEAL WAS ALREADY MADE! Trump had the battle won before he fired a single shot. The decisions were already made. What we are witnessing play out is not “war”, but rather a controlled and precise obliteration of the Deep State, mixing military, economic, informational, and psychological elements. We are witnessing the systematic destruction of the “Old Guard”.

🚨🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺 As Europe pledges another €800 billion in support for Ukraine, fears of wider escalation are growing fast. Ukraine has launched large-scale drone attacks deep into Russian territory, including near Moscow, while discussions around tactical nuclear weapons are becoming increasingly public inside Russia. Former Pentagon official Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski argues that choosing war is the most dangerous mistake governments can make. She warns that while military profiteers continue turning conflict into business, both China and Russia increasingly view the West as overstretched and in decline. Karen Kwiatkowski

🚨🇺🇦🇮🇷THE DRONE WARS ARE REWRITING HOW THE WORLD FIGHTS For decades, military power meant expensive hardware: stealth jets, cruise missiles, precision weapons costing millions. Ukraine and Iran just proved something uncomfortable: You can challenge that power with $20,000 drones. Iran’s Shahed drones, now used heavily by Russia in Ukraine, cost roughly $20,000 to $50,000 and are built to be produced in huge numbers. Launch dozens at once and even the most advanced air defenses struggle to keep up. Shooting them down with multimillion-dollar interceptors quickly becomes a losing economic battle. Ukraine has faced tens of thousands of these drones since 2022 and has been forced to improvise a new style of warfare in response. Instead of relying solely on expensive missile systems, Ukrainian forces developed cheaper counters: machine-gun teams, electronic warfare. interceptor drones costing only a few thousand dollars. The lesson is spreading fast. Countries watching the Ukraine war, and Iran’s growing drone campaigns in the Middle East, are realizing the future battlefield won’t be dominated by a handful of exquisite weapons. It will be dominated by swarms of cheap ones. Factories, not fighter jets, may decide wars. And the real contest will be economic: who can produce drones, interceptors, and countermeasures faster and cheaper. The drone wars in Ukraine and Iran aren’t just regional conflicts; they’re the world’s first glimpse of a new military reality. One where air power no longer belongs only to nations that can afford billion-dollar air forces.

Most of our American political language for race and elections is still built from decades-old examples, like the 1960s civil rights era or the Chicano movement. But the country isn't living there anymore. Younger voters are increasingly immigrants, mixed-race kids, people who never fit either box. And the mismatch between how we talk about identity and it's realities is part of our misunderstanding of the electorate On Raging Moderates with Jessica Tarlov:
