Since I feel like these kinds of discussions can often feel thankless, I felt like I wanted to write an explicit comment saying I am grateful for @1a3orn’s, @JohnofCharleston’s, @Thomas Kwa’s and @Alexander Gietelink Oldenziel’s comments on this thread. I disagree with many of you, but you presented a bunch of good arguments evidence on a thing that does actually seem quite important for the future of the world.
You might be interested in my old shortform on the military balance of power between US and China too. It’s a bit dated by now—the importance of drones has become much more clear by now [I think the evidence that we are in a military technological revolution on par with the introduction of guns] but you may find it of interest regardless.
