Crush Depth: Total War in the Drone Age
Eighty-one years ago today, after the Allied landings on D-Day, warfare has shifted from amphibious invasions to algorithmic strikes.
Military drones, driven by open-source ingenuity and accelerated by tools like Starlink, are now the decisive factor in modern combat.
Ukraine and Russia are racing to adapt, but Ukraine holds the edge through distributed manufacturing, rapid innovation, and real-time command via satellite.
Fragging incidents among Russian troops, systemic command failures, and Ukraine’s deep strikes into Russian logistics show a war not just of machines but a Psyop war of morale and cohesion.
Drones and this week’s Black Swan Event called Operation Spiderweb have redefined the battlefield as a three-dimensional, always-connected space where latency, speed, and real-time adaptability determine survival. From cheap FPV kamikaze drones to high-end ISR platforms, drone warfare now merges the economic and the strategic.
Russia is hemorrhaging both money and leadership, while Ukrainian forces are turning $500 drones into tank-killers. Fiber optic tethers, AI-driven targeting, and booby-trapped sleeper drones signal that the fight is no longer linear, it’s volumetric and economic. Victory is going to the distributed, the fast, the cheap, and the networked.
Meanwhile, the geopolitical chessboard is shifting. Trump’s diplomatic sidelining of Elon Musk, paired with his Ukraine Recovery Fund push, signals a post-oligarchic war reconstruction effort. The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling against Mexican lawsuits on U.S. firearms preserves the legal foundation for drone and dual-use tech exports.
The Ukraine war is not just a contest of arms, but a struggle between collapsing autocracies and adaptive democracies.
As with D-Day, the question isn’t just who has the weapons, but who has the will, the system, and the speed to wield them.

A marriage, a friendship, a close family relationship… all of our important relationships are built on countless moments, innumerable interactions that either build qualities of trust, joy, and respect - or undermine those qualities.

For openers, kudos to President Donald Trump for his leadership on addressing this heretofore missing piece of the energy puzzle.
As one anonymous and unelected judge after another rules against the Trump agenda, Republicans must decide whether they want to abide by the will of the American people.
