It's scary to think about it but imagine if we have really small drones that can target individuals. Remember the first Ant-man movie? Something that small that's equipped with a toxin syringe. Send in a swarm to make sure at least one hits the target. That should reduce civilian casualty provided the drones can accurately identify and tag their target.

It shows the world where micro machines are used to pollinate flowers. They were design as automated robots but of course the government wanted a piece of the tech so they modified them to spy on people. There's more to the story and it actually ends with a tragedy, but I won't spoil it for you
Fun fact, they managed to make a real flying bee drone this year. Future may come sooner than we think.
Wasn't there a Black Mirror episode where a swarm of these killed people? Yes, the government would definitely put it to their own use but people would probably find ways to disable them. Life is an arms race after all.
I tend to have a pessimistic view of human nature. People have always went to war and even outside that, continue to kill each other. Nations will always find reasons to quarrel and some of those will result in armed conflicts.
Having the option to do that in a "less" messy manner can only be a positive since it'll reduce the number of people hurt in the crossfire. I'd rather have countries dropping microbots on each other instead of nukes.
Thank you for warning us about yourself. Since you have gone this far, why don't you go the rest of the way, and turn yourself in to the police for psychic evaluation.
Oh yeah, wanting less suffering to befall people is a negative trait. Wanting people to not melt from a direct hit and the survivors to slowly die of various cancers and starve to death due to land being covered in fallout is evil.
Pardon me. My suggestion to turn yourself in for psychiatric evaluation was just a direction that I was suggesting a little.
But now that you say that want people to suffer more and die, you really DO have a mental problem. For your own good, the NSA should track your IP address, and grab you and institutionalize you before you hurt yourself and others.
