A few implications

I am not saying these are rational, or not, in any case they are predictions:

1. The momentum for gun control in the United States will weaken.  There is a claim on Twitter that only two percent of Israeli households have guns at hand.  May or may not be exactly true, but many people will become more attached to the idea of gun ownership as a means of defense.

2. We Americans will indeed build The Wall on our southern border.

3. The doctrine of deterrence has taken a beating. Few doubt that Israel can strike back at Gaza in a very powerful way, and yet that wasn’t enough to stop the attacks.  I am still trying to digest this one.

4. A certain kind of military-flavored AI accelerationism will win out.  Given #3, it no longer suffices to think you can deter a drone attack from your enemies, even if your country is very powerful.  Rather you need your own drones, and your intelligence, to forestall major casualties in the first place.
