It was guns, it was artillery, it was tanks, it was ships, it was subs, it was helicopters.

The jet was the only one that was introduced, and that was introduced late in World War II, 1944.

We've had more technological evolutions in the last three years just in Ukraine than the rest of the world combined has had since 1960.

Wow.

So the rules, we don't know.

We are only in the very, very early stages of developing the weapons, much less the doctrine, much less being able to play that against a battlefield.

Right.

And we are very fortunate in the West that the Ukrainians will want to partner with us because they are doing in real time.

the sort of experimentation that is costing lives, that if we were doing this in a broader conflict, would have already claimed a million people.

Yeah, the last time something at this scale happened, a major conflict in which people were watching, it was either the Crimean War

or the American Civil War.

Because those were the two conflicts where industrialized technologies first really hit the field, whether it was a Gatling gun or penicillin or the railway.

Yeah.

Now we still need energy.

We need still, still need food.

When you're talking about drones, you need electricity specifically.

So that adds another layer of things to it.

But yeah, uh, the rules are changing very quickly.

At the moment, that's really the only one that matters because that has the nuclear question because of the Russians that deals with the Northern European plane.

So automatically draws in all the Europeans.
