A container ship that Iran has spent the past few years turning into a militarized drone carrier has left its home port for the first time, recent satellite imagery obtained by Business Insider shows.

If true why not just blow it up? I’m sure accidents happen to those things all the time.

Are you new to this administration?

The Chairman of the Joint chiefs thinks DEI is more important than force readiness.

So what is the Congressman doing about it?


Whoever was supposed to teach you basic US Civics failed you miserably and owes you an apology.

The congressman has no authority to do anything about it on his own. That power resides in the Executive Branch, or on other words, Joe Biden.

The advantage of drones is similar to the advantages bees and wasps have.

But if you know the location of the hive, you can eliminate the threat.

Just because we spend more does not equal to producing. We shite more money away on a daily basis than all other countries combined.

We should reinstate the Monroe Doctrine. Everyone in the eastern hemisphere can do what the frick they want, the western hemisphere is completely ours and any incursion will be an overt act of war.

He seems like a wingnut. Our military would be all over a “mothership” off the east coast.

It's probably been asked but If this is true why doesn't the military have something flying near by monitoring it 24/7 and also flying with it to see where it's landing for fuel? Much less blowing the shite up once over the ocean.

It seems like that would have been an obvious question to ask him.

Easy. Send a National Defense Coast Guard Cutter out there and board it. That's literally in their wheel house.
