Don’t piss off the robots.
Ukraine now has killer robots with machine guns !
The invasion of Ukraine has been described as the first “TikTok war,” with countless videos and photos posted to social media showing destroyed Russian tanks, which are promptly memed, and lately even the tradition writing notes on outgoing ordnance has gotten a 21st century reboot. Now, Russia’s war with Ukraine might be one of the first tests for the concept of Terminator-esque robots, marching off to war. Or in this case, rolling into combat:

We are the Robots.
Oh. Just great. Robots with guns. Just what the world needs.
