So it used to be defense was much easier. It was really hard to take a town, right? When the Ottoman Empire at its height You know, even by the 17th century, you know, September 11th, 1683, the height of the empire, the Christian kingdoms unite and throw them back from Vienna and save the town because it was taking them too long to take it before the Polish and French knights could get there.

And then, of course, the cannon becomes stronger. And all of a sudden with the cannon, it's just much easier to build, like just like massive empires all over Europe and

And, you know, I think right now we're going through interesting change where I do think things are moving more towards defense than they have before, thanks to EMP, thanks to the way swarms can cover shorter short distances and they kind of block things. And so I do think this does favor asymmetrically. city states in small countries, once again, to be very, very powerful.

For the cost of one aircraft carrier, you could have 100,000 missiles in space that can land on anything effectively with these rods. So there's all sorts of these things that make it really hard to break through defenses. And I hope that's where it goes. Because in some sense, it used to be that all these free city states are all around Europe. That was a good thing.

And then you had the kind of jerks build the empires and take away their rights. And maybe we can have small states to get with. Because when you have lots of small states, you can kind of, if someone gets to be too annoying, you just go to another one. So I hope that's where things are going, is that defense is stronger. But that's an important question. We'll see.

You know,

You know,

You know,

It's, I mean, I mean, I mean, there's all this like smart bombs, I think were like the big thing for the desert storm that we hadn't had before, where you're able to basically target everything and take it out really precisely and just like, just like completely like surprise and wipe out, you know, Song of Saiyans army in a way that was just, it was like a whole generation ahead because of how you could target and how you can do things from the air.
