I mean, it's a numbers game. Probably 60% of Americans today are untrained in combat, unarmed, and believe the police will protect them. For foreign invaders looking to cause as much damage as possible huge swathes of most cities would be nearly defenseless. Chicago is a rather unique city in many respects and would take a bit more care. Gang enclaves would be a great place to test out some suicide drones. Checked amazon, and everything needed for quite serviceable drones+claymores can be had for ~$100 each. But I doubt foreign invaders would be interested in fighting against gangs or taking over their block. More likely they would focus on the supply chain, go after the warehousing operations, corporate farms, truck yards, etc. You don't need to full scale murder a city directly. Just gotta cut it off from the supply chain. The city will gobble itself.


The destruction of the food chain is an international effort. If you control the worlds "food supply" you control the world. Our food manufacturing/distribution plants aren't the only one's to be sabotaged over the last decade. Every country's food production is under attack because that's how an international body could gain control. I will admit that our governments silence about the destruction of these plants is very concerning. It shows that the Biden Administration is somehow complicit in this but it's not like Republicans are saying a fucking thing. As you mentioned the federal government is dangerous but I think our forefathers knew that'd be the case and that's why we have 50 states that can basically null a lot of the levers that got pulled for the NWO.

A perfect example of that would be my home city of Chicago and how "sanctuary city status" is backfiring. Cali/New York too. They thought it would be so easy to dump migrants on suburban lawns. Total fuckin failure. The whole rest of the state is small town farmers with guns. Those scumbags would have to try real hard to walk into a small town in Illinois and do much of anything.

edit: What are a bunch of terrorist going to do besides cause total chaos in major cities and then do what? Get in a toyota corrola and drive down a highway and go where and do what? As if were all made of stone incapable of moving and thinking.

Information moves infinitely faster in a modern warfare context. I do agree with almost everything your saying I just don't think anyone in the "public" is in the "know". Unless you have a family/friend who works in the highest levels of the military it's hard to know the "truth" behind anything. Look at my cousin as an example. Won't tell anyone what he does and can only vaguely answer questions to his own fuckin family. Rubs me the wrong way but I don't even believe what a lot of "whistleblowers" say and they say alot(Snowden/Assange).

My biggest worry right now is drones, ngl. Small drones with small explosives. Doubt we'd see much use here at home, but I could seriously see Gaza and/or Iran going that route with Israel. And as long as they stuck to the smaller sized "hobby" drones, the nice small cheap ones, just large enough to pack a small explosive, the iron dome won't touch them. Run twenty or thirty thousand of those in, set them off when you can, some will undoubtedly get shot or batted down. It'd be the most successful attack on Israel ever seen, and wouldn't honestly be that hard. Kind of like the drone in the shopping mall bit. Except Israel has unfriendlies on all sides. Nowhere to flee.

As for knowing anything special? Nah. I'm generally well informed, not some holder of state secrets though. ;)

Couldn't agree with you more. That's the way to do if you are going to get through their air defense. Cheap like you said. Don't have to be a rocket scientist to strap a bomb to like you said a "100 dollar drone" and have tens of thousands of them flood a target.

I wish my cousin would give me state secrets but we'd probably both be dead so I'll take the bread crumbs he tosses to me and my family. I actually care and want to know(even if it scares the fuck out of me) I'd rather know.

Believe it or not the one time I shared his real name on JSP and was just talking about his PhD thesis. He called me in less then 2 hours because it went to the top of search engines like Google. Literally had to talk to the mods and have it completely removed. He didn't care that I was talking about his PhD thesis it was that I used his real name which was a huge no-no :wallbash:

This is an example of what I said earlier, that exemplifies that in reality the tactical decision making is not controlled by Iran. Obviously if the Houthis knew this is an Iran bound ship they wouldn't target it, but I believe many of these attacks come from localized centers and are not led but some centralized entity, at least not on a tactical level.

DUBAI/LONDON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis have targeted a cargo ship in the Red Sea which shipping analysts said on Monday had been carrying corn to Iran.
It appeared to be the first time the Houthis have targeted an Iran-bound vessel since starting attacks on international shipping in solidarity with Palestinians over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, shipping sources said.
A U.S. defence official said it was likely that the ship had been targeted but not hit, but provided no further comment. Earlier reports by maritime specialists suggested the vessel may have been damaged but that there were no casualties.
The Houthis identified the vessel as the Star Iris. The group's military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said in a televised statement the ship was American but maritime-shipping trackers said the Marshall Islands-flagged ship was Greek-owned.
