Pearl Harbor was an inside job by FDR to galvanize support for the war. Where have you been?

Do you have, or are you located NEXT to anything an enemy would be willing to expend sigbificant capability to destroy?

I’d be more worried about utility disruptions than anything else

Pearl Harbor was not a conspiracy.

It was a catastrophe of assumptions.

…of which, one was a large ocean buffer.

Primarily in our early launch detection systems. I’m not sure what remains classified of what I know but don’t worry your pretty little head, we are very safe.

As many have said our early detection and warning systems are the primary defense system. NORAD and such would see anything approaching with more than enough time to scramble interceptors.

A few high profile targets probably have more dedicated defenses. At one time there was a SAM battery on top of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building protecting the airspace over the White House. I assume it's still there or somewhere close by.

Certainly Russia's. They sent a formal request for us to stop pursuing a tanker from Venezuela, and in response we laid out our massive dick by taking Venezuela's president. Lol.

None of the above is going to risk anything over Venezuela. It's not significant enough for any of them.

Chinese probably secretly like that Maduro is gone. They don't suffer clowns and Maduro was something of a clown.

So you think we can just move some carriers etc take a dictator without losing 1 person in the op and you are worried about air systems? The US is an island. We have been setting up defense systems before the other countries let us rebuild their countries for them.

Right now SA has to be think wtf. They have never seen anything like that and I doubt anyone wants anymore then just the tip. Trust me.

I said this repeatedly, this isn’t war as much as it is a humanitarian crisis if they piss us off.

You’ve seen Russia and Ukraine in action. Impressed? I’m not.

All this op did was further prove our superiority and got some special forces guys a hardon.
