nobody needs robot dogs.  flying drones is all anybody needs.  they already exist.  but first the west needs to finish offloading WW2 era tech ( tanks ) which are little more than coffins on track.  also Ukraine already has the weapons to win, but isn't allowed to use them on Russian territory.  

it is ridiculous of course that Russia can strike anywhere but Ukraine can only strike what is its own territory - but it's understandable that the west doesn't want to get involved directly in the war, which would be unavoidable if Ukraine used western weapons on Russian territory.

the real question is whether the west actually wants to defeat Russia or not.  my guess not.  if we wanted to beat Russia we would have beaten them by now.  what do we want ?  who the fuck knows.

we spent how many decades in afghanistan only to pull out and leave $40 billion of weapons there.  we will do something equally idiotic in Ukraine.
