2 We have GOT to not just hit Iran, we need a ground invasion. Israel did their part with decapitation strikes but that didn't get the job done. It's going to be like Iraq but harder and it's going to take a lot of blood, sweat and tears to remove this threat to California.

I guess many right now are saying, CALIF. ?

So IRAN, trying to incite the Uber-Left-Liberals in to action. A place that houses the very groups and oddities that Iranian Islamics eliminate once they take control of a newly conquered area.

I guess the Islamic Republic is trying to get their Goat up.

6 About as effective as the Japanese balloon bombs.

Note that there is a large pro-American Iranian community in the LA region. If there are any 'sleepers' they'll be outed quickly.

8 Wanting to break up America by setting Americans against each other is exactly what Iran wants.
Good job there, sadeeq.

10 Nothing else will work against the mullahs. It's either that or a B-61 over Teheran. We burned Dresden and Tokyo to the ground for less. The people failed to overthrow their government and thus deserved what happened to them.
Hiroshima. Nagasaki. History has proven that nothing stops fanatics other than complete ruthlessness and death tolls in the hundreds of thousands or even millions.

15 Trump says 'we've got our eyes on' Iranian sleeper cells in US

Trump said during a press gaggle Wednesday that he has been briefed on terror alerts and threats, including reported plans to conduct a drone attack in California, but he warned that any terrorists present in the country now might be the result of former President Joe Biden's "stupid open border."

"A lot of people came in through Biden with his stupid open border, but we know where most of them are: We've got our eye on all of them, I think," Trump said.

18 As the Ukraine has demonstrated, you can drone individuals and small groups.

I always thought an app for your PS5 or Xbox with a link tied to a drone restricted to certain spaces could allow crowd sourcing of the program.
