A quote, "So loveable, it tugs at our heart strings." WHAT???

I don't say this often cause it's kinda silly most of the time. But this really is manufactured consent for thinking we need robot dogs having guns. It escalated so fast from a bomb detector/natural disaster aid to a fucking walking turret. All under the guise that oh isn't technology so cute!!! uwu
