    Funny, just had the thought this morning that I know drones exist, but these are the early days of drone-based warfighting still.

      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?

            Jon, where are you taking your kid for Spring Break? (And why are you on your kid's spring break?)

              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.

                          The torpedoing of the Iranian ship might get messy. Allegedly it was invited to the waters off the coast of India along with other countries to participate in international exercises, had no ammunition on board, and was still blown out of the water by the US Navy. We'll see...

                            We're destroying their navy. It was a navy ship. I have no problem with sinking it, but I thought the victory lap was in exceptionally poor taste, even for this bunch.

                                    We haven't declared war in 81 years. Why start now?

                                    Don't tell that to Veterans of non-wars Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, Vietnam...

                                          https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/iran-underground-missiles-59b3492c

                                          Iran spent decades constructing underground bunkers to shield its vast missile arsenal from destruction. Less than a week into the war with its two most powerful adversaries, the strategy is beginning to look like a blunder.

                                          U.S. and Israeli war planes and armed drones are circling over the dozens of cavernous bases, striking missile-carrying launchers when they emerge to fire. Meanwhile, waves of heavy bombers have dropped munitions on the sites, apparently entombing the Iranian weapons below ground in some locations.

                                          Satellite imagery taken in recent days shows the smoldering remains of several Iranian missiles and launchers destroyed in U.S. and Israeli airstrikes near entrances to the “missile cities,” as Iranian officials call the subterranean sites.

                                          Tehran managed to shoot more than 500 missiles at Israel, at U.S. bases and at other targets in the Persian Gulf region since the conflict began this past Saturday, although many have been intercepted, according to governments in the region. There have been fewer large salvos since the first days of the conflict, a sign that the U.S.-Israeli attacks are degrading Tehran’s ability to strike back.
