When Trump and Pentagon officials say we have plenty of weapons... that's when I'm concerned that we don't. The lady doth protest too much............

I bet the Iranian government IT dude who has been begging his boss to install Zoom cameras is really upset right now.

Nahhh, he’s probably Mossad.
Still, one thing I have to respect, here… The Iranian government isn’t working from home..

Side note I thought about this morning, when these things are blown out of the sky, is random metal and debris just raining down on random farmers and taxi drivers?

WTF the internet listens to me. This was the first thing on reddit when I opened it again just now. See caption below the pic.

This is totally NOT a war.
But.......first time the USA has sunk an enemy ship by submarine torpedo since WWII:

What's weird is if you look at the satellite map, and even street view near the main road, there are weirdly few security checkpoints until you get right outside the perimeter of the radar site, which is not very big. Like you drive awfully close to it as a Qatari taxi driver. Guess if the sight is radar, there isn't much value other than trying to blow it up.
Speaking of which, I'd imagine we'll have anti-drone technology deployed one day near our assets... embassies, radar sites, air fields, etc. Like a truck with a dozen lightweight SAMs that can lock onto incoming small aircraft and blow it out. Right now I think they have to use one of those C-RAM thousand-per-second guns (again, where do all of the bullets ultimately land...?)

Superpower vs superpower, I’m curious if the aircraft carrier is completely obsolete.
What do you do if someone like China sends out a swarm of drones?

I’m not. I took him out west for February break (NY schools have two separate week long breaks in the spring semester)
His mom is taking him to visit Chicago, Northwestern, Michigan, and Toronto.
I’ll be in Thailand with my darling bride.
