Humans are the brutal warlike aggressive race that is the trope in all SciFi stuff and it's great aliens aren't gonna know what hit 'em.

Evolution is going to happen on every planet with life, so really any intelligent life that emerges is going to be the end result of a billion years of loving poo poo up. So, really alien contact is just going to be like march madness but for species.

Should we be at all concerned about the increase in automated warfare? In the 1500's if you wanted to pacify a town you needed one soldier handling each halberd, but now you can get a small gaggle of teens to watch monitors feeding views from dozens of drones.

Getta loada Pope Innocent II over here.

The cool thing about cluster bombs is like half of them just don't explode (probably more in this case because Russians) and then it's just like hey you've got unexploded tiny little bombs all over the goddamn place that people will be getting killed by for the next 50-90 years or so.
