The United States’ longest war has come to end, yet following the blast in Kabul airport the US launched a drone strike killing ten civilians, and ended the war in Afghanistan the same way it started; by slaughtering civilians.

Japan’s bioweapon war crimes formed basis of still-secret US programme
Only 12 people had been brought to justice during the Khabarovsk Trial, while most members of Japanese bacteriological units, namely the 731st and 100th units of the Kwantung Army - over 4,000 people in total, including senior officers - received immunity from prosecution in the United States. "The results of the research that those units had conducted became the basis of a US bacteriological program that is still classified. Based on Japan’s research, US troops used bacteriological weapons during the Korean War in 1952,"

Terror in the Sky: Russia's MiG-17 Fighter Gave Americans Hell in Vietnam
So successful were MiG-17s — in the hands of both skilled Vietnamese pilots as well as allegedly some Russian pilots — that the United States acquired several MiG-17s from Israel in order to evaluate their capabilities and determine what tactics American pilots should employ in order to shoot down the North Vietnamese pilots.
A declassified NSA document summarizing the results of the evaluation says it best, if somewhat shockingly.

“Every Navy pilot engaged in the project lost his first engagement with the Fresco C [the MiG-17 variant being evaluated.].
The document continued, complimenting the MiG-17 despite its age.

A Russian combat robot navigated a 100-kilomter route without human assistance, and can now launch a swarm of drones for reconnaissance and attack. And the technology is likely to be used in action sooner rather than later.
