“...ability to remotely destroy targets...”
We can do that now, can’t we?
“We can do that now, can’t we?”
We have drones, cruise missiles etc. But we still need intelligence on the ground and pre-positioned assets somewhat in the general area of the target.
We need to get to the point where problems like these can be taken care of using assets much further away or even from continental U.S. You still need improved intelligence and targeting. I’m sure we will get there.
So no we don’t have it at the level needed. Otherwise Trump would not still be in Afghanistan in the fourth year of his Presidency.
