I’m an ex-navy quarter master gunner. Nothing got the adrenaline going quite like loading in a 4.5” turret during an 18 round salvo. But this terrifies me. The term peace thru superior firepower has led to a weapon of no counter. Which is what I knew was coming.

UFO BASE: "Should we be worried?"
UFO PILOT: "No. For some reason they have them pointed at each other." 🤔

Alien: Let's create advance weapons to destroy human.
Human: Let's create advance weapons to destroy ourselves.
Me: Still waiting for PS5 restock.

Aliens: If humans are so intelligent, how come they're pointing their weapons at themselves? 🦃

And as of today, Russia was the first country ever to use them in combat.
