Our "allies" are not saying a word. Why the silence regarding the drones?

I l like how when it’s the weekend the politicians stop caring. News and media will pick back up tomorrow.

I bet if you and all the dumb fricks on tiktkok stopped talking about drones this minute they would disappear by Friday and nobody would even remember this story 2 weeks from now.

Thank you for your astute observation. I totally agree. If this weren’t a situation wherein the nature of the action wasn’t so easily repeated over and over (ie drones being a much more common and attainable piece of equipment/technology), then this likely would have already passed us by in our ever-quickening news cycles. We would have already moved on to the next unexplained phenomenon with which to be fascinated. But any small group of “enthusiasts” with a penchant for rabble-rousing and trouble-making can and do and will continue the matter forward quite easily. Much to their delight.

Why hasn’t the government said anything further to put the matter to rest? IMO the primary reason is that there’s no imminent threat or danger to the public or the country as a whole, and they’re not going to go out of their way to put it to rest. They’re simply going to pass the matter on to the next administration and ride out the clock. And binge on DU with their office doors shut.

Yep. don't look up. Nothing to see.


I missed the part of 'running out the clock' and ignoring your sworn oath to defend and protect the country and constitution. Just a bunch of words, huh?

Yeah.

Deployed by when.... 2027?


Really? Labor intensive process? Pilot program? JFC, just shoot one of the MFers DOWN already! Why the in mother loving hell does it need to be some massive federal / state/ local/ tribal kabuki dance involving regulators and training??

Just putting out another theory that ......

Congress is Proposing to Expand the use of CUAS......is this related?

Bro, since when did you believe any oaths would be followed by this administration? But most importantly, there really ain’t anything of a perilous nature that they actually need to tell us. Maybe they could say “get ahold of your imagination.”

All due respect of course, and I’m only stating my view of the matter - I ain’t claiming it superior to yours or anyone else’s. But in my own mind I’m quite settled on it.

What you're doing is textbook gaslighting. Sure, many are tired of hearing it overused, but guess what? It's being done on purpose for exactly this reason.

Open borders, weaponizing lawfare for political purposes, allowing unknown numbers of drones to fly pretty much anywhere they want, without even bothering to TRY and find out who's doing it, why or bringing one down. This is fricking madness, and all folks like you do is just shrug your shoulders and ignore it all, hoping it'll "just all work out".

Well, guess what. Unprecedented things like this never 'work themselves out'.

Whatever happened with the balloon situation that had us in a panic? And we even knew much about the origins during the situation, now presumably know much about the technology of the one we shot down (yes, I would certainly agree not quickly enough) and I am convinced not from what someone simply told me but from my own thinking and “analysis” of the situation that the panic was not necessarily warranted.

And it shouldn’t be perceived that I’m acting like there’s nothing to worry about, ever. There definitely is. But I do also think it’s critical to keep things in perspective and direct our most legit “worrying” towards an enumerated list of worst things to least worst things. Because our best “worrying” can and will be diluted and not carry the message it needs to if we don’t prioritize it most effectively.

And lastly if you believe I’m gaslighting just know that it’s certainly not on purpose.

ETA….I wanted to add that I’m not proposing that nothing should come of this, I believe something should. And IMO that would be that we need to start paying more attention to what we allow to happen in the area of “droning” as a general matter.

Nope, not the type of extreme panic and doomdaying we saw then. And are seeing yet again. We have all out panic and fear on this, but have folks who don’t want to have a thing to do with the middle east whatsoever. “Not our problem.” However if you’re this concerned about drones, I would say be more concerned with where such operations would be planned and the necessary components of such a threat would most likely be outfitted. In my opinion THAT is something to have extreme concern over. Don’t ever let it get far enough at the source such that we have to wake up one day and see any such thing above our heads at home. So many people’s thoughts are completely out of wack and currently irrational. And I’m not trying to specifically call you out. That’s not my intention.
