Pentagon Video Warns of “Unavoidable” Dystopian Future for World’s Biggest Cities

Which part of what I said was “garbage”? The Pentagon presentations *are* FUD, intended for increasing budget.

You really don't know what it takes to equip a force, do you?

I never said cities aren’t going to get bigger, or that any component mentioned won’t exist in those newly-minted megacities. In reality, I don’t think these presentations go far enough, because a megacity isn’t just a bigger city; there are going to be technological, societal and cultural frameworks and developments in megacities that can’t be anticipated, and that those developments will radically change the landscape a warfighter will have to deal with in trying to fight their way through such a city.

I can't say too much, but those discussions are going on.

Isn’t that a racist dog whistle?

It’s happening while the countryside and small towns are depopulated. Our future might be in repopulating those areas with conservatives.
