Not many US-led wars were won by the US in the past so many years.

The other countries or people did not lose their wars to the US easily, not because their economy individually was strong or their military equipment/set-up was even close to the US, etc.

Perhaps many, if not most, of the conventional thoughts/theories about warfare strategies could have been outdated!



Elon Musk Predicts The Cause Of World War III (And It's Not Donald Trump)

“Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind,” Putin was quoted as saying. “It comes with colossal opportunities, but also threats that are difficult to predict. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.”

Musk added:

China, Russia, soon all countries w strong computer science. Competition for AI superiority at national level most likely cause of WW3 imo.

Which country has the most advanced robotics technology?

I'd be willing to argue this, but China. They have some of the most sophisticated electronics manufacturing robots known. Think of the microsoldering and packaging that goes into an iPhone. Amazing stuff. On the other hand, retail monsters like "The Gap have their entire inventory automated by line following robots with pressure lifts. From the time you place an order until your article gets loaded on the back of a truck. The first time a human comes in contact is loading of the truck.

I hope this helps!
