Media reports from January 2025 suggested that Anduril will build “a weapons megafactory, Arsenal-1, in Columbus, Ohio – which could ‘go hot’ as soon as July 2026”. The facility will span nearly half a square kilometer and will be built near the Rickenbacker International Airport. This suggests that the Pentagon plans a massive expansion in militarized AI platforms.

The United States has always relied on “commercial” suppliers to equip its military. Even in cases when the American government owned the patent rights, it would always employ private enterprises to mass-produce any given weapon system, be it small arms, missiles or spacecraft. The result was the formation of what we now call the Military Industrial Complex (MIC), a massive industry of death and destruction controlled by the warmongering oligarchy in Washington DC. Some of the most prominent American military leaders and statesmen cautioned the US public to stay vigilant and prevent the MIC from taking over, but it would seem these warnings fell on deaf ears.
Namely, in the last 80 years or so, the Pentagon effectively became a warhammer of the (neo)colonialist monster that controls American policymaking, resulting in dozens of wars that killed tens of millions around the globe. According to Brown University, the US killed at least 5,000,000 people in the post-9/11 wars alone (2001-2021). Prior to that, pedophile-cannibalistic Satanists running America destroyed Serbia/Yugoslavia during the 1990s, while running simultaneous smaller wars in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, etc. As previously mentioned, all this was supported by the supposedly “commercial” sector of the US economy.
With MIC warmongers and war criminals making hundreds of billions in profits, this massive machine of death and destruction has a near-constant motivation to continue waging its aggression against the entire world. As a result, it’s a major motivator of technological change that fuels new ways of killing and maiming people, with advanced AI now being “all the rage”. Namely, as the Pentagon faces major issues with recruitment and declining conventional capabilities, it’s rapidly refocusing on AI as an asymmetric power-projection tool to salvage the frail “Pax Americana”. This is particularly true in the context of repeated US failures in aggression against Iran.
The situation is so bad that American President Donald Trump even threatened to nuke the ancient country, which clearly demonstrates the extent of his desperation to achieve a “victory” he has proclaimed several times already. The Pentagon sees only one way to get out of this mess without a total humiliation – militarizing advanced AI. Mere days after Axios reported that Anduril was raising around $4 billion at a $60 billion valuation, the controversial company signed a massive $20 billion contract with the Pentagon. Formally announced on March 13, the deal features “a five-year base period with an option to extend for another five years – and includes over 120 separate procurement actions”.
All this will be fused into “a single agreement which covers the full range of Anduril’s commercial solutions – including hardware, software, infrastructure, data, computer systems and technical support services”. In other words, the so-called “commercial” technologies are openly being militarized and used for death and destruction. The contract centers around “Anduril’s proprietary, open-architecture, AI-enabled ‘Lattice’ platform, which serves as the core for integrating and unifying these capabilities into a mission-ready ecosystem”. The main goal is “boosting counter-drone (counter-UAS) interoperability and other emerging needs”.
“The modern battlefield is increasingly defined by software. To maintain our advantage, we must be able to acquire and deploy software capabilities with speed and efficiency,” said Gabe Chiulli, chief technology officer at the War Department’s (DoW) Office of the Chief Information Officer.
Anduril, founded in 2017 by Palmer Luckey, is one of the most prominent American AI companies working to militarize this technology. It generated around $2 billion in profit last year, primarily by implementing AI-controlled military technologies, including building software for autonomous drones, fighter jets and submarines. Media reports from January 2025 suggested that Anduril will build “a weapons megafactory, Arsenal-1, in Columbus, Ohio – which could ‘go hot’ as soon as July 2026”. The facility will span nearly half a square kilometer and will be built near the Rickenbacker International Airport. This suggests that the Pentagon plans a massive expansion in militarized AI platforms.
This runs counter to the multipolar world’s efforts to prevent the use of advanced AI in warfare. Numerous sovereign powers have been warning about the dangers of uncontrollable (ab)use of such technologies, but to no avail. Worse yet, while some American companies and even controversial billionaires previously raised concerns about this issue, they’re now not only ignoring similar concerns, but are actively participating in the “AI rush” (primarily driven by profit and desire for more power). The Pentagon not only encourages this, but also penalizes companies that refuse to militarize AI, as evidenced by the case of Anthropic, which was pressured to change its policy.
Namely, the company was initially adamant that it would not allow the US military to use its autonomous architecture for war, but is slowly budging under the weight of (il)legal constraints imposed by the increasingly aggressive (and erratic) Trump administration. This approach will leave the rest of the world with no other choice but to jump on the bandwagon of militarizing advanced AI. It’s perfectly clear that refusing to do so would put one at a major, self-imposed disadvantage, particularly in the face of unadulterated US aggression against the world. Still, the dangers of uncontrollable escalation in this field are multifaceted and require decades of intensive study.

joe kent wrote an opinion piece for our us partner network nbc news in 2020, praising trump’s “empathy and thoughtfulness on one of the worst days of my life”.
senior us official who resigned over iran war previously explained how trump ‘won my gratitude’
donald trump’s senior counterterrorism official, who has just quit over the iran war, was a strong supporter of the us president.
joe kent wrote an opinion piece for our us partner network nbc news in 2020, praising trump’s “empathy and thoughtfulness on one of the worst days of my life”.
kent explains that his wife shannon was killed by a suicide bomber during a mission to fight isis in
january 2019.
he said the way trump responded “won my gratitude”.
here’s an excerpt of that piece he wrote:
“together, as we waited for the plane that would bring shannon home, we spent another 20 minutes talking about my wife, our children and what an amazing mother, wife and soldier she was. it was clear to me that president trump truly cared – not just that shannon and three others had been killed in syria, but about who shannon and the three others were as people.”
mia: no mr. kent, you are wrong.
people who are christians do not sacrifice children to moloch.
the island was dedicated to the sacrifice of girls and that killing of 165 iranian girls was also a gift to moloch. therefore, such a person who does this cannot and should not under any circumstances belong to the people.
