Drone Wars

Warfare Has Changed. Our Laws Haven’t.


Listen Later

In Part 2 of this special Drone Wars episode, the conversation shifts from tactics to power, policy, and accountability in the era of drone-centric conflict.

Tommy Hendrix, managing partner at Decisive Point and the first investor in Firestorm, breaks down how Israel’s drone operations in Gaza reveal deep gaps between military innovation and international law, and how those gaps are exploited—not just by states, but also by non-state actors and information operations.

Key topics include:

  • The disappearance of deterrence and escalation thresholds
  • How drones are testing the limits of proportionality, transparency, and legality
  • The tension between strategic effectiveness and the erosion of global norms
  • Why open-source intelligence and public perception are now part of every strike

🎧 Listen to Part 2 for an unflinching look at the geopolitical ripple effects of modern drone warfare—and what it means for future conflicts.
