According to a startling Pentagon video obtained by The Intercept, the future of global cities will be an amalgam of the settings of “Escape from New York” and “Robocop” — with dashes of the “Warriors” and “Divergent” thrown in. It will be a world of Robert Kaplan-esque urban hellscapes — brutal and anarchic supercities filled with gangs of youth-gone-wild, a restive underclass, criminal syndicates, and bands of malicious hackers.
...
The video is nothing if not an instant dystopian classic: melancholy music, an ominous voiceover, and cascading images of sprawling slums and urban conflict. “Megacities are complex systems where people and structures are compressed together in ways that defy both our understanding of city planning and military doctrine,” says a disembodied voice. “These are the future breeding grounds, incubators, and launching pads for adversaries and hybrid threats.”
...
Megacities are, by definition, urban areas with a population of 10 million or more, and they have been a recent source of worry and research for the U.S. military. A 2014 Army report, titled “Megacities and the United States Army,” warned that “the Army is currently unprepared."
...
“It was made for an internal military audience to illuminate the challenges of operating in megacity environments,” Army spokesperson William Layer told The Intercept in an email. “The video was privately produced pro-bono in spring of 2014 based on ‘Megacities and the United States Army.’… The producer of the film wishes to remain anonymous.”
According to the video, tomorrow’s vast urban jungles will be replete with “subterranean labyrinths” governed by their “own social code and rule of law.” They’ll also enable a proliferation of “digital domains” that facilitate “sophisticated illicit economies and decentralized syndicates of crime to give adversaries global reach at an unprecedented level.”

I wonder if there will guys like Judge Dredd too?
That’s exactly what will happen if the God-hating, constitution-hating Hillary Clinton is elected and throws open our borders and her evil court basically outlaws Christianity, law and order and self-defense.
Overpopulation.
Our government seems to be in the business of importing low IQ, low agency people who are mostly useless in any modern society. We already have legions of what are basically retards that have to be supported every day of their lives while we ask nothing in return.
The Pentagon arms al Qaeda (& lets Clinton and Obama
lie about it) AND lets Hasan live.
The Pentagon should take care of itself, FIRST.
This is why the globalists are beating the war drums about Russia. Only World War III can save them from the results of their policies.
Turn their power off.
If you read the Drudge Report today you will see that an impending nuclear war with Russia will take care of our overpopulation problem.
This is all because of the alternative left and the Democrat criminal organization will own this for posterity.
No city can feed itself. Said environment would not persist past “Total Food”.
I used to respect the military....not so much anymore....they have become part of the problem...
Democrat stereotype as the great for poor, tolerant, good party is coming to an end.
no..
wrong population...
Say, are you Snake Pliskin? I thought you were dead.

The description reads more and more like the imagery of Blade Runner
I believe there is a 20 megaton solution to the problem.
The future has already arrived in Chicago.
Well gee sounds like every city governed by dems. NYC. LA. Chicago
