    $3,000,000,000 the US has spent on the iron dome.. and people are walking across our borders by the millions.. yeah, that sounds fn fantastic. We stand and watch guard over their sky while we pack our manor cities full of military age men from around the world? Mkay… btw.. Iran, China, and Russia have been working on joint naval exercises and have been visiting North Korea.

    This was 5 months ago, but could be today … or 5 months from now.
  • So this reminded me kind of of a Star Trek episode from the original series. It had to do with them, arriving on a world where there were two factions, and they were fighting, but they found out that they were fighting a war with computers. There was no real bombs or anything involved And what would happen is the computers were generate a casualty list and people would jump into suicide machines and that’s how they fought this war for thousands of years but it wasn’t until they actually had the computers destroyed and realized what real war was that they all the sudden stopped and talked > that mother and son kind of reminded me of that episode because although there’s war happening because the system protect them, they don’t really think of it .

    Commenting on 4-13-2024. Today, Iran launched, at current estimates, over 100 drones and (I think?) rockets at Israel. None made it through and there are no reported casualties. Haven't even heard of any injuries. Is there any debris from the Iron Dome?
