The article “The US Military Is Building Gangs of Autonomous Flying War Bots” by Patrick Tucker, published on the Defense One news website on January 23, 2015, talks about the appeal of unmanned drones compared to their manned equivalents, as well as discusses the inherent drawbacks of automating war-machines. In addition to discussing the legally grey area surrounding the issue, Tucker also talks about the moral danger of the situation. It must be noted that this article is hosted on Defense One, which is less subtle in its support for US national security than most other sites.

Out of the many works that are written by Mr. Phillips, the one piece in particular that intrigued me the most was: "Beijing Smog: Pollution Red Alert Declared in China Capital and 21 Other Cities" which was published to The Guardian on December 17, 2016.
