discussions to something wider. but i can assure you that the secretary will want us to be as responsive as possible but we are not tracking a request to expand the mission set for the 82nd right now. they have that capability should they be needed and would want to pitch in and help and in constant discussions with the polish authorities and state department and should there be a need for that you can bette the military will chip in and help. i would add and i don t want this at all to sound gratuitous but the poles have been doing an amazing job harboring, welcoming, taking care of a million ukrainians that have fled across that border. that s only i guess by the u.n.
something that you discussed with poland? there s not been any active discussions to expanding their missions to a wider humanitarian assistance. but i can assure you that the secretary will want us to be as responsive as possible should there be a need for that. we re not tracking a request to expand the mission set for the 82nd right now. they certainly have that capability should they be needed. we certainly would want to pitch in and help. but we re in constant discussions with polish authorities as well as the state department. again, should there be a need for that, you can bet the united states military will chip in and help. i would add and i don t want this to at all sound gratuitous, the poles have been doing an amazing job, harboring, welcoming and taking care of more than a million ukrainians
little institutional knowledge being carried on and an ever-changing mission set that really undermined what we were hoping and relying upon through the withdrawal. there was a stable government that had some legitimacy. and the rapidity with which it collapsed was evidence of the failure of that entire 20-year project. listen to what fellow veteran and fellow congressman democrat jason crow told us yesterday. there s got to be a very different model for promoting democracy overseas but not doing it using the military as our primary tool. do you agree that there s a larger lesson here beyond just the specifics of the afghanistan withdrawal in terms of how the u.s. wields power internationally? 100%. i think the way in which we ve been operating with the military first approach is fine if it s a problem that can be solved by dropping bombs. what we ve seen over the past two decades of the war on terror
delegated and relegated the decision to take a human life to algorithms, right? but it s not quite as simple as that. 0thers argue that autonomous weapons are often mischaracterised. it s not being given the authority to kind of decide its mission set. no commander in the world would ever want a weapons system that decided what it wanted to do at a given moment. these would be preprogrammed rules, according to preprogrammed rules of engagement that are legally screened to make sure they meet the requirements of law of conflict. the machine may make cleaner decisions on the rules of engagement, which have been preset and preassigned on legal grounds, than a stressed pilot, who s trying to do a million things at once. that may be the case with a sophisticated military, but that s not necessarily what we re talking about here. if anyone has an ability to access a type of weapon that can selectively target a group of people,
like a great power, cold war type competition over the next 30 50 years. but if countries can t ban killer robots, what will that mean for humanity? it is a fast track to, i think, dystopia is the right word for it. it is a world in which we delegated and relegated the decision to take a human life to algorithms, right? but it s not quite as simple as that. others argue that autonomous weapons are often mischaracterised. it s not being given the authority to kind of decide its mission set. no commander in the world would ever want a weapons system that decided what it wanted to do on any given moment. these would be preprogrammed rules, according to preprogrammed rules of engagement, that are legally screened to make sure they meet the requirements of law of conflict. the machine may make leaner decisions on the rules of engagement which have been preset and preassigned on legal grounds, than a stressed pilot, who is trying to do a million things at once. that may be the case
