Ukraine destroyed Russian strategic bombers deep inside Russia with help from former DJ, a tattoo artist, and cheap drones hidden in trucks. What does that say about who holds power when drones are everywhere? Has China already caught up with the U.S. in technology? And what happens when a single private company can switch off the communications a military depends on?
 
Steven Feldstein is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a former State Department official.  He joins Jon Bateman on The World Unpacked to discuss his new book, Bytes and Bullets, and explain how drones are reshaping wars from Ukraine to Sudan, why export controls are slowing China but not Russia, and why technology may be the single most important force in the rise and fall of nations this century.
