> it makes war even more pointless than it is today

What do you mean war is pointless? When you are at the receiving end of Putin's imperial ambitions, how is it pointless to defend yourself? Is Ukraine just supposed to roll over and die? And if Ukraine fights back and could manufacture and use this type of weapon robots, should they just say no, because it's pointless?

That is not what I said.

Of course Ukraine should defend itself and not just roll over.

What I meant is: Starting a war is pointless.

Now please don't reply with a comment saying "Ukraine didn't start the war". I know, and that's not what I said.

But then, what exactly did you mean by “war is pointless”? If a robber robs a bank, you can say his act is criminal, or immoral, but not pointless. The point of his robbery is to get the money. The same for Putin. The point of his war was to conquer another country.

Let me rephrase then.

War doesn't bring anything of value to humanity.
