Oh.

I think it is clear that we look at this war as a wonderful opportuinity to test out the latest offensive and defensive weaponry.

How do you fight against a swarm of drone bees, all the size of birds? Thousands descending like locusts into a city or an army on the ground?

I think the answer is pretty obvious, you respond with your own drones, and you wipe the enemie’s command center or real estate that might be thousand of miles away.

If China tries to pull this crap on our soil, that’s fine. We’ll take the hit, but the only response is to nuke their leaders within seconds.

WE saw this in Iran.

Trump, I am sure, has sent messages like the one to Bagdadi of his house, saying without words that we know where you are.

Theh cool thing I think is, unlike the Bushes, Clinton’s, Obama and Biden, that there is alternative to fighting over nothing, and that is prosperity, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.

If they're sending video somewhere, there's frequencies they're transmitting on. Easy to jam those. If they're going through cell networks, that many streams is gonna overload it. And again, easy to jam. The only reason that 'works' is because civilian cities have no defense, unlike military facilities.
EMP or other directed energy weapons. Can't be controlled if it gets fried.
Kinetic defenses - your own drones programmed to hit or shoot anything else flying, attached shotguns or nets, even just a hanging steel pole into props.

Either way, these are going to be very short-range, low-payload drones. They're a threat if they're snuck/built in the country by local teams, they won't be traditionally launched, and will be minimally a threat to military posts that will likely have decent defense, and no threat to Naval forces except for docks. Again, to have the range and capacity to actually do some damage, they need to start getting decently big.
