That goes back to Gulf War I, which is what we did to Iraq, to the entire system in the first night.

Well, there's no question that that's new technology and there's always new technology in these missions.

Remember the bin Laden raid or kill when they killed bin Laden?

That involved new technology with a stealth helicopter that was only unveiled when a piece of the helicopter got left behind.

These are always like secret pieces of technology that we don't know about until they make an appearance on the battlefield.

That's the F-117 in Iraq.

This is again, this is history.

So it will be interesting to learn eventually what those specific weapons were.

But by now, China and Russia already know about them and are developing if they hadn't sooner.

Well, I think your World War I analogy is pretty brilliant and also terrifying.

Because, you know, let's not forget the chemical weapons that were used, the muscle gas.

And remember that at the end of World War I, everyone agreed that was the war to end all wars.

Right.

Because war was perceived as horrible.

It had gotten so mechanized.

And you had all these treaties that came out of it, Geneva, et cetera, you know, make prohibiting chemical weapons, et cetera, only to be completely defied.

And so you're absolutely right.

I mean, which is the the reason why all of this must be to prevent a world war three.

Must be all stop.

End of sentence.
