The Minsky Moment

We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.
--Woodrow Wilson

Saw an (unsourced) that "Mexican Cartels" were sending drone operators to Ukraine to help and to "learn the trade".

Whether that's specifically true or not, it will be interesting to see to what degree non-governmental forces (criminal organizations, terrorists etc) adapt lessons from this war in their own spheres.

I reckon it's probably not that long before we see the first drone based assassinations outside of the Ukraine war. And drones are probably used for drug smuggling already.

It is known and established that a lot of Colombians have been fighting in Ukraine. Ex soldiers who previously fought the various other groups.

I'm not sure about Mexicans with gang links though.... Surely there's more money to be made at home. This does smell like the sort of story Russia would aim at trumpies.

Drones are 100% used for smuggling. There's been some cases around prisons in the UK.


An interesting piece I read today about how Russia is obsessed with Britain.
It's nice to be loved.
