> If this war never started, we will never have this type of weapon that is too easy to buy and is very easy to use.
Bullshit, the technology was already out there, all it takes is someone motivated enough to put it together.

Larger context on that quote:
> “We didn’t know the Terminator was Ukrainian,” Fedoryshyn jokes. “But maybe a Terminator is not the worst thing that can happen? How can you be safe in some city if somebody tried to use a drone to kill you? It’s impossible. OK, you can use some jamming of radial connection, but they can use some AI systems that know visually how you look, and try to find you and kill you. I don’t think that the Terminator and the movie is the worst outcome. If this war never started, we will never have this type of weapon that is too easy to buy and is very easy to use.”
This guy's country has been locked in a brutal war, on their own soil, for how many years now, with no end in sight? I would not read that quote literally - but instead as an expression of emotional agony, for his world being a dystopian hellscape.
