They may be practicing for the “real alien invasion”. Hologram projections have become very sophisticated and what a better way to project an image for the whole world to see.

[Cobra64]

We are so pathetically incompetent, our enemies are laughing at us. It’s embarrassing.

[Salamander]

Speak for yourself

;D

[Salamander]

I’m with Alice Cooper , really.

“ Pessi-Mystic”

Don’t need a crystal ball
For me to see clearly
No astrology or Tarot cards
Watching CNN
And holding my breath
To face the day
Scares me to death

I’m pessimystic
I’m so fatalistic
I’m pessimystic
I don’t believe a thing
I’m pessimystic
I’m so nihlistic
I’m pessimystic
For what tomorrow brings

I can’t hear a word you say
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I like being sick this way
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

Everybody’s mind is badly infected
Everybody feeds the parasite
Everything is dark so why not accept it?
Everything is far more black than white

I’m pessimystic
I’m so fatalistic
I’m pessimystic
I don’t believe a thing
I’m pessimystic
I’m so pissed-off-istic
I’m pessimystic
Of what tomorrow brings

I can’t hear a word you say
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I like feeling sick this way
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

I’m pessimystic
I’m so fatalistic
I’m pessimystic
I don’t believe a thing
I’m pessimystic
I’m so nihlistic
I’m pessimystic
Of what tomorrow brings

I can’t hear a word you say
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I like being sick this way
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

I can’t hear a word you say
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I like feeing sick this way
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

/this works for me. :D

[Salamander]

You misspelled demonic invasion.

[GMThrust]

That’s what I tried to infer, along with the image of the beast.

[Salamander]

Indeed.

So let’s all buddy up to AI.

What could possibly go wrong?

[GMThrust]

Of course, the thousands of satellites that musk has launched are only going to be used for internet...
If you don’t have starlink but know someone who does, have them show you the satellites (can be seen when you look for obstructions in the app).

[Gideon7]

The Leonidas drone-killer system looks like it might be a game changer for the US Army and Navy. They are rushing it ASAP.

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

“Lasers, Microwaves, Missiles, Guns Not On The Table For Domestic Drone Defense” IOW pretty much anything that might be effective.

10 gauge is pretty good,too.

This would certainly be the default means to delete Trump with. Guys with rifles are so 1960s, all but countered and pretty chancy for any success. Drones on the other hand have taken a big leap in sophistication and utility since the Ukraine dustup started. They can be engineered to carry all kinds of payloads - explosive, poison gas, bacteriological, radioactive, whatever. Can zip right on through and evade conventional air defenses if they don't surpass a certain size. And this is going on all over the world. Drone warfare is rather prevalent in Africa too - surprised there haven't been any threads posted about that. Various rinky-dink nations now have air superiority on the cheap in their respective regions, while the West continues to spend millions for aviation assets that now have limited roles of usefulness. The West has been caught flat-footed, again, mustering assets for fighting the last war and not looking ahead in keeping up with current innovations and tactics.
