It sent a bunch
That last one should have been itself to secure its future.

There is no skynet in the latest movie.

I am watching part 3 just thinking that would have made more sense.

Plus now you have an AI that knows how to create time machines
You could have a whole series about john fighting skynet.

i imagine the resources skynet needs to operates doesn't exist in the past and is too numerous to send back in time.

That is true...Skynet is probably like a billion zetabytes plus needs massive power requirements alone to function..

Then why not send back a terminator with the sole mission to make sure skynet itself is protected.

way too many moving pieces. how many people and how many things does it protect?
people need to see, hear, say and do the "right" things that give fruition to skynet.
it could it end up altering the past in such a way that prevents its very existence.

Yep... the machine's presence in the past might fukk up skynet's future...

That was the premise of Genysis. They turned John Connor into a terminator and had him create and protect skynet.
