Are the Chinese Really That Desperate to be #1??

The White House was hacked last month and it came from China. Luckily for America, they breached an unclassified network which means that they did not steal any top secret information. What they did try to hack were nuclear military commands. Pretty scary huh?

A New World of Drones

It used to be that the United States had complete control over drone technology. That was ten years ago. Now, however, more than 70 countries have invested in drone technology. The US no longer has a monopoly, because the rest of the world has them. However, there are only a handful of countries who possess combat ready drones. Nevertheless, if the countries can build a high-tech drone, then what can stop them from loading them with missiles? Right after 9/11, the US had about 50 drones. Now, it has about 7,500 drones. China is also attempting to catch up to the US. Will this usher in a new era of how wars are fought?
