12. The world needs a treaty on war robots or this will lead us to World War III.
Waging war will become all the easier for weak, corrupted political "leaders" when they don't have to answer for domestic casualties here at home, that will create a "clean war" illusion dynamic. The corporate media will lap that myth up like thirsty French Poodles, no disrespect intended against French Poodles.

The war robot military industrial complex will grow by power and wealth enabling them with a greater ability to bribe/lobby a future Congress, and increasingly purchase feel good commercials; mom, apple pie, the flag and war robots, which create another adverse self perpetuating dynamic against humanity.

These two dynamics can only lead to even easier uses of force against foreign nations which in turn will increasingly feed resentment against the U.S. or war robot wielding nation, increasing the motivation for acts of terror to occur.

Even if all the terrorists were snuffed out; a highly unlikely scenario, the war robot military industrial complex would have an ever greater ability to bribe/lobby the Congress for domestic crime fighting robots. The bribed Congress and commercial bought and paid for lapdog corporate media would magnify incidents of crimes as a means of justifying passing increasingly draconian laws against the people to feed the need for more crime fighting or war robot business.

In short it's a direct flight to hell without having to take the road.

Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Soylent Brice.
