I write a lot about war and the need for us to find another way of dealing with international situations…..I am not naive enough to think that war will end overnight….but at least we should try to find a cessation point.
But since we still have war let’s look at the tech of 2019…
PUTTING ASIDE our personal feelings on the nature of war and what it is or isn’t good for, the fact is that it’s a terrible reality of life. It’s also, often, where technological development advances at several paces beyond every other sector even remotely like it. These are some of literature’s best (and most dystopian) ideas, fully realized. And 2019 especially boasted some of the most mind-bending military tech the world’s ever seen.
From an invisibility cloak to a sonic gun that vibrates a target’s brain, military researchers really pushed the limits of what we thought was scientifically possible this year, no doubt at least partly thanks to their sometimes astronomically high budgets — looking at you, America.
Without further ado, here is The Coolest (and Scariest) Military Tech of 2019.

We have another year of wars and conflict to look forward to….but there is a possibility the Trump will do something about war because of the election in November…..he may need to find a whole new batch of voters to help him win.

They have been predicting such advances for so long now. Yet even in 2020, it still seems to come down to a soldier on the ground with an assault rifle. I doubt we will see many ‘futuristic’ changes in the time we have left, chuq.
Best wishes, Pete.
DARPA is actually making “cyborgs” possible….but do not know how far that will go…chuq
