This is liberal/bourgeois thought to justify the capitalist mode of production. The "Human Nature" argument only leads to misanthropism which you'll get the idea how capitalists alienate themselves from the working classes while exploiting them as assets to benefit themselves (i.e. "Profits"/Money is designed solely for this purpose).
Actually we've be friends cooperate with each other if we transitioned from capitalism to socialism and finally communism.

Ahahahaha, gold.
The good thing about the genetic weapons part is that, if the weapons are done right, if the weapons are so scary and lethal, people would NOT want to go to war, problem is, if the war breaks out anyway and your in the middle of the field, you can basicly bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.
But I bet its going to be interesting, you never know what will be developed.

Nah mate, that's horseshit and you know it, all you have to do is look at any large scale country that claimed to be communist and you'll see that the system was still abused because we always want an advantage over other people.
It's in human nature to compete for the best stuff we can get, even though now it's counter productive to work against each other we will still do it because competition is evolutionarily and instinctively burned into our brain.

I eagerly await the moment that a genetic disease is released that causes everyone effected to become diabetic and die of a lack of insulin.

[QUOTE=ironman17;35256878]The energy-weapons part interests me the most, even though we really don't need any more weapons. If they perfect Tesla's old plans for a lightning gun, it'd be a step-forward.[/QUOTE]

The russian military is still struggling to build their own UAVs, I highly doubt they're able to build such weapons any time soon.

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;35251478]Even then, their future rifles will still look like Kalashnikovs.[/QUOTE]
I would like that

Funny, but their newest AK looks pretty different from the old AK-47.

wow, that's a lot. i never knew russia made so many of them.
Reconnaissance UAVs are a lot older than most would realise, but iirc attack UAVs are quite recent.
That Tu-143 looks rather amusingly like a Doodlebug. Makes me wonder if it would've been possible to make such a reconnaissance drone in the '40s.
"Weapons based on new physical principles" is not a new thing; it's been present in Soviet military literature ever since the late '70s-'80s when they theorized "future war", especially under the tenure of Chief of General Staff Nikolai Ogarkov. With the end of the Cold War and the USSR, and a near-20 year stagnation in military science and art due to shoestring budgets they couldn't really go anywhere with it, officially. Who knows what or where the Russian Federation's General Staff is planning for the future these days.
