/AKM/ - Guns, weapons and the art of war.

The US is already introducing automatic draft registration, palantir is posting about how every man needs to be in the military for their tech republic or whatever, you're going to get drafted in the epstein army very very soon

What kind of comms are accessible to the layman? Are there any encrypted channel walkie talkies that would be good enough for use or what? I have no idea where to even start with these.

I've been thinking about drones, especially small FPV ones. Everyone talks about how its going to change warfare yada yada. But the really disruptive thing is that it enables individuals to target the ruling class much easier.

Think about guns for example. Before guns, you needed to have expensive armor, swords, shields, spears, bows and extensive training to be a lethal soldier. Only the elites could afford that, and that's why peasant/slave revolutions were not only few and far between, but they all were brutally put down quite easily.

Once guns came into the picture, the elites were not so safe anymore, and there came about a change in political structures to accomodate the masses more both politically and economically.

Now I think drones are another step in this direction. Indivuduals can easily build drones, and with advances in AI, then can just create a program instructing it to fly and identify a wealthy elite and kill them. With proper op-sec, someone can release a drone a mile away in a forest, set it on its kill path, and then run away.

The elites can be killed en-masse with the security forces having a very tough time trying to counter it and identify the perpetrators. Now all of this is theoretical of course, but technological acceleration is going to make this a reality much sooner than you think.

This is why I think the push for mass surveillance is happening. The elites are aware that there is a material change coming in the relative military power of organized armies and disparate dissident lone wolfs. Mass surveillance is the only way to ensure they can counter the lone wolfs.

Militaries emerged primarily as institutions for securing wealth rather than territory. Early organized violence could have been driven by the need to protect trade routes, seize productive farmland, monopolize valuable resources, and enforce tribute, with political borders forming later as a byproduct of sustained economic extraction rather than the original objective. Militaries developed as mechanisms for managing large populations of ambitious young men whose competitiveness threatened internal stability. By channeling status-seeking, aggression, and risk-taking into campaigns against external rivals, societies reduced domestic conflict while rewarding martial success with prestige, wealth, and opportunities that might otherwise have fueled feuds or political unrest. Militaries originated less to defend against outsiders than to consolidate power within early states. A ruler with a permanent armed force no longer depended entirely on temporary loyalties from local clans or nobles, making it easier to suppress rebellions, enforce taxation, and transform personal authority into centralized government. External warfare then became as much a justification for maintaining the army as its original purpose. Militaries may have arisen as ritual institutions before they became effective fighting forces. Public displays of discipline, uniforms, ceremonies, and collective sacrifice could have served to bind otherwise unrelated communities into a shared identity, with the practical business of warfare growing out of cultural traditions that already celebrated organized violence as a marker of civilization and belonging.

Is it because India is just 10 countries wearing a trench coat?

What can we learn from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and this example of relatively modern warfare? Strategy, tactics, operations, geopolitical responses, information warfare, civilian pov and response. Anything related. Not the thread to talk about "who is in the right".
