This is an odd story I saw this morning on cable news. My brain feels like exploding trying to figure out what these two authors are trying to say. They're peddling a book they wrote about how back during the Obama Administration, the Pentagon decided to partner with Silicon Valley and formed "Unit X" to create technologies of the future and they claim the results are being seen in Ukraine today. For some weird reason, they're citing enemy tactics from Ukraine to Israel to the Red Sea as examples of how the battlefield has changed. The US side isn't the one that's victorious there. Are they trying to claim the
technology used comes from "Unit X'? All the conflict zones where they claim "Unit X" technology is being used are examples where their side is failing. Where's the scandal that all this new advanced US technology is falling into the hands of the enemy? They're trying to blame China for somehow getting into the supply chain of Boeing blaming them for the bad quality airliners being produced there. But no word here...?
Not sure why one of the authors cites riding in an F-16 over the Iraq/ Iranian border didn't have a map so he didn't know which country he was flying over and then mentions something that cost a $100. Is this an example of this amazing technology of what...? Then one of them mentions commercial technology. They brought up drone warfare and how M1 tanks are being destroyed in Ukraine. DJI drone technology has been at the forefront of drones being used for these purposes. Are they claiming DJI is using "Unit X" technology?
It's suspicious. Nothing makes sense. When the authors talk in the interview, they don't sound natural. The entire piece seems scripted with bad actors playing the roles. Is this really for dumb Americans to see to say how the Pentagon and the US are doing a great job so Americans shouldn't use their votes to change anything? Naturally Americans are going to assume that these "battlefield changing technologies" came from the US because why else would they try to take credit for victories by the enemy against their own side?
