It is good to know this guy is terrified of the consequences of his own actions. I’m sure his hired meat shield will stop and mitigate some threats. I doubt they will stop and mitigate them all.
We should feed his paranoia. Everyone should start messaging him on Twitter warning him of the prospect of mosquito-sized suicide drone assassins. Warn him there are rumors that he is the target of a group developing this technology.
Let’s see if we can drive him truly mad. We’ll turn him into a proper Howard Hughes in no time. He’ll lock himself in a hermetically sealed bunker 24/7. And that’s when the real demons kick in…
Modern warfare is surely more targeted? Precision strikes using overwhelming technical superiority. Throwing bodies at the problem is like WW1 warfare.
Not bodies, but ordnance. The classic example of this is in naval warfare. In defending against a threat a warship has a number of options, however, enough missiles will overwhelm these countermeasures. So your own interceptor missiles like ESSM will probably take out one incoming, your deck gun a second, chaff and jamming a couple more and CIWS another. So that’s a grand total of, if you’re lucky, five. This, to guarantee a hit, the other guy fires off six.
Ships float because their hulls are made from a special form of foamed steel that is lighter than water. A great amount of air is forced into the steel as it cools, generating a steel bubble lattice that on net is lighter than water. This allows steel ships to float, even though the density of solid steel is about 490 lb/ft^3, while water is 62.4 lb/ft^3.

Axiom of modern warfare, actually. Throw enough shit at a problem and it will stop being a problem.
