    Indeed, a process which appears to have started in 2020. I have to wonder how much of the "droning" was being done in Afghanistan.

    Looks like "peak drone" took place in the last year of Obama's presidency. And he managed to squeak-out a "win" in terms of average strikes per year at 4682 to Trump's 4660.

    What's the deal with chopping off the bars for 2015, 2016 and 2017? This is a very misleading graph.

      Probably wanted to “see” the 36, and wasn’t willing to go logarithmic on the y-axis. Although a unclipped linear y-axis would have been more dramatic.

    This would appear to be awful news for those with drone manufacturer stock.
    Sorry, folks. Maybe go short on climate futures to recover? Looks like a safe investment.

      Actually Taiwan is ramping up their drone manufacturing and Turkey is making a killing selling drones to Russia and Ukraine. Sadly war will always be with us in one form or another.
