They haven't yet announced how the drone - equipped with missiles, is going to be useful in "medical research and treatments", like their nuclear material is. Do you really believe that the Israeli's won't be attacking Iran if the negotiating fails? Of course, Iran has to be expecting that. They saw what the Israeli's did to the Syrian nuclear facility, year ago, and to the Syrian missiles going to Hamas, just recently. Your argument is based on emotions, and after the stupid involvement in Vietnam, that's understandable. We tried the "let's not get involved, or be prepared" route in the past however, and it has never worked out well for us, over the long term. Walking softly and carrying a teddy bear, will not deter many bad guys. Perhaps a policy of letting every country have nuclear enrichment facilities dug into mountains, and drones and missiles able to deliver them, is a good idea, but it will be hell to get a restful nights sleep. In the long run, it's very likely to result in a nuclear war. |

Where in the US is Israel again? I keep forgetting who is ultimately responsible for their security.
So far only countries who don't face MAD have been willing to go atomic. Small sample size but...

Sometimes we need to realize that we have much less control over these situation than we want to believe.

I may take up a new hobby of building a model drone in a bottle now that they're launching them from submerged submarines.

When I was a kid, we used to catch drones by hand and put them in a bottle
It's fun and OK, so long as you don't make a mistake and grab a worker bee. |

If I could have drones in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do Is to save every missile till reason passes away Just to spend them on you If I could make bytes last forever If bits could make wishes come true I'd save every byte like a treasure and then Again, I would spend them on you But there never seems to be enough pow'r To save the things you want to save, once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I will be doing time with If I had a box just for wishes And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty, except for the memory of how They were gathered by you But there never seems to be enough pow'r To save the things you want to save, once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I will be doing time with the preceding is not meant to be a threat but rather parody protected as free speech

Had the Martians used drones, they would have conquered Grovers Mill NJ. As we know, they foolishly didn't - and lost.
Unfortunately we put Rover's on their world. Now they will learn our secret advantages. |
