  1. Drones are important but the kind of disparity you discuss has been around since WWII when aircraft really came into their own. Don't forget, the biggest, strongest battleships ever produced were both sunk by aircraft with a similar price disparity. Drones are another tool in the toolbox. To understand my point, you have to answer the question of why the infantry, armor and artillery on both sides is not shrinking in significance. The US pioneered the use of drones in the GWT. What Ukraine has done is to us them to supplement their inadequate artillery and total lack of airpower. They are, of course, innovating but you also have to consider their adversary. If Don't get me wrong, the Ukrainians have been very creative. They have to be. But, as I mentioned, the drones are not allowing them to shrink the size of their military, especially foot soldiers.

  2. Peter, and others, keep saying we won't see the type of colonialism we had in the past. I am not so sure. Russia is clearly playing the old "great game". China as well. I can certainly see Turkey doing it. What one must remember is that many, many of the countries in the world are former colonial possessions. Their borders make no sense in many cases. As Peter points out in his books the period since WWII has been an anomaly in history. The motivations for a return of the colonial mode are the same. Resources.
