Russian & Iran are going to build a drone facility that can produce 6000 drones

This has major implications for the Ukrainian war. Imagine swarm after swarm of these drones mixed with more effective cruise missiles. Now move that capability to the Middle East. Does ANYONE at this time have the ability to destroy a massive amount of drones aimed at sensitive targets? If any nation was to stockpile say 12K drones and launch them all at once at a target and then mix that strike with higher speed/semi-stealth cruise missiles it would overwhelm ANY anti-air force on the planet (talking combined ground and air interception).#Iran and #Russia plan to build a joint factory to produce drones, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Now begins the idiotic politics of failure....BREAKING: 2 Former DNI Directors Say Report of Chinese Balloons Under Trump is Fake
Note. Earlier I classified this balloon thing as not the big deal is was being touted as being. I stand by that. The delayed response, the lack of decisiveness and now the awkward and lame finger pointing all shows one thing. Our political/military power structure is fucked beyond belief. Apparently they have the same pulse of the people as I do, except that they have a bigger megaphone and have the ability to PROPERLY explain why they arrived at a certain decision. Vacillation like we've seen is a danger sign.

On Sunday morning, former acting Director of the United States National Intelligence (DNI) Richard Grenell denied the recent report claiming Chinese Spy Balloons flew across the United States under former President Donald Trump.
“Yes, Chinese Spy Balloons Flew Over The U.S. When President Trump Was In Office Too,” the piece from Matt Novack published on Forbes read.
The article was extremely vague and weakly sourced.
In a tweet on Sunday, Grenell strongly denied the piece and hammered the Biden administration for pushing the fake news.
“Biden’s DoD is shamelessly using an anonymous source to say that Chinese balloons flew over the US under Trump – and the Trump team allowed it,” he tweeted. “It is a lie. We never heard this – ever. Congress should demand @SecDef tell the truth. Shame on @JakeSullivan46.”
The only real loser in the China Spy Balloon Incident is Milley...
Parts of Military Twitter & ESPECIALLY the Conservative Twitter spaces are eviscerating Milley. He has never been popular with the troops (from the outside looking in...but does it really matter?) and he's been suspect to both the left and right. To the left because he's military and to the right because he's implemented some policies that many disagree with.Mark Milley held secret calls with China in 2020 undermining Trump

Former French Navy Carrier Foch scuttled in international waters...
The Brazilians didn't get much use out of her. Is it even worthwhile to buy ships second hand anymore? I know the US Navy rides all its ships HARD. There is a big opening for some basic builds to supply smaller nations fleets but no one is tapping into it. Oh and Brazil! Next time buy a LHD. It would be more cost effective and better suit your needs!Brazilian Navy Clemenceau-class aircraft carrier São Paulo, formerly French Navy carrier Foch, was scuttled it in international waters on 3rd February 2023....sad to see her go this way pic.twitter.com/ZHjytIdXls
