I expect the Mundane Holocaust of African dictators will indeed be defeated by armies of small killer robots controlled remotely by recruits that played lots of first person shooter videogames as kids. Armies quickly lose the will to fight against robots. People just don’t find it worth it to give their lives in a heroic act of destruction of an inanimate object.
No, I know they exist—I’ve seen the xkcd and right now I’m at work (trying to make sense of a $#@ paper) on a project that has to do with them. I was asking how Kevin knows that enemy soldiers lose motivation when fighting robots.
Afterwards I assume the teenagers would then proceed to rule the territories? Perhaps employ the local humans for testing or resource extraction? That’s what I would do.
Or are we observing failed states and need to procure a few more by destabilizing governments?

Source?
Also, though morale helps, officers don’t lose the will to shoot soldiers who refuse to give their lives to destroy objects.

Hmm. Well, fighting high-flying drones is tricky. The usual story is that they rain hellfire down on you—and then you die.
I suppose you can appeal to the United Nations Security Council—if you are still not dead yet.
The usual trick is to hide among the local civilian population...
