It’s wild how the free market and private innovation can outpace old-school military bureaucracy—Ukraine is basically proving that point by turning to drones and private sector partnerships. Honestly, if the US is going to spend billions, at least it's on tech that might actually work instead of funding endless government defense contractor boondoggles. Still, I just wish we’d stop getting so involved overseas and let people handle their own conflicts without US taxpayer money on the line.
