But…fast forward to 2021…on the cusp of a POST COVID-19 world…PERHAPS???
WHAT do I find on Page 1 of the Chronicle of Capitalism, Worldwide? (WSJ June 4th, 2021 Edition)
LOW-COST ARMED DRONES RESHAPE WAR AND GEOPOLITICS
To summarize, it goes on to tell how TURKEY (which was the center of the OTTOMAN Empire until the WAR TO END ALL WARS (WW1)
Well, Turkey, roughly 100 years since having it’s Empire carved up, after losing WW1, along with Germany, is NOW cranking out LOW COST DRONES, effecting the BALANCE of POWER in places like Libya, Syria, even the skirmish betwixt Armenia and Azerbaijan!!

Here’s a Imaginative video of where we could be in the ‘future’….as in BACK TO THE FUTURE??
Hmmm…WAR GAMERS pulling gigs per nanosecond…love to play these kind of games.

went on strike, from university Spring Finals exams
and most of whom,

Now, 2021, many of those same folks…

full of WHAT???
Hey, don’t drone me, dudes & dudettes
