Sweet Jesus, no.

The next world war will be started with drones. Without a bodycount, many politicians are ok with initiating conflict.

After all, who's gonna complain? No press, no moms, no VA patients - at first.

Until there's a loser, who gets "The Terminator", but for real.

Another scenario where drones are destabilizing is for surprise attacks. The most successful aerial attacks have been against bases (Pearl Harbor, Taranto, Egypt.) Drones would make planning first strikes even easier with real-time ground truth.
