Trump crawls back to Zelensky to beg for help stopping Iranian drones

The emolument clause is in the Constitution for a reason, and that is so Presidents and their family don't get rich by using the power of the President.
And Trump and his boys have and ARE doing just that,,
Trump starts a war and his boys invest in a company that builds the drones he is using in that war.
Where is Congress and why aren't they doing something about this?
It is time for people to write / email/ call their people in Congress and tell them to do something about this right away,
I have mine and I think I will do it again and also tell them that if something isn't done soon I will be voting against them and try to get somebody in there that has the has the balls to do their job.

Every time I think about how his stupid crypto scheme crashed and burned, it makes me smile.
 
Now go watch Netanyahu saying the same about Iraq and Iran 30-40 years before they finally beat that drum long enough that the US attacked.

Tell me if you think Netanyahu got any more of a reply when he FIRST started to beat that drum?

It is the exact same playbook. Whoever Israel sees as the strongest player or biggest threat amongst the remaining countries becomes the target they want to start softening the US up on that they will eventually take down for them. Israel wants to be the sole power in that region and sees the US as the big brother who, when they point at a 'bad guy', the big brother takes them out.


Why did you give my post above a thumbs down when it is undeniable clear that Israel uses the EXACT same play book each time, counting on dumb and gullible Americans to just keep falling for it?

Saddam was the US chosen leader, and yet Israel beat the drum for decades that he must be taken out and the US eventually did it.

Israel beat the drum for Iran to be taken out for decades and the US acted.

Now Israel has started that same drum beat but pointing at Turkey and you say 'this time it will be different'. Why?
 
What kind of "he" runs to Brazil from their home country? A criminal on the lam? A drug dealer? A traitor who seeks to foment hate and division within the United States from afar?
Fuck you asswipe. Make all you're fantasies up until they put you in a straight jacket any day now.

Oh the pain! The pain!

I have no problem with neutralizing all foreign enemies of the Constitution.
 
We have been building an improved version of Iran's drone.
The Iranian drones are open source, so you would think we could just copy it, but we cannot. It requires Chinese parts, and our defense industry cannot use Chinese parts.

Instead we make better American designed and built drones, that costs far, far more.

Our "improved drones" cost 35K per unit. We used a captured downed Iranian drone and reverse engineered it. It was not open source. Our drone has a much better guidance system and is smaller and has less range but it can hit mobile targets like tanks.

No, Iranian Shahed drones are not "open source" in the sense of being publicly developed or freely available software/hardware. They are proprietary, state-developed military weapons produced by
Shahed Aviation Industries, though their designs rely on accessible, commercial off-the-shelf components—including parts from Western companies—to keep production costs

That's why we have a ship full of those drones, right?
And Israel's making them, too. Seems like you do not know much about what's going on.
 
True.

That said, there are limits on everything and I'm curious what the limit is for the MAGAt Congress. The cracks are already forming as Republicans resign or announce they won't run again. More and more MAGA voters are becoming disenchanted with Trump's stream of broken promises.

This, too, shall pass, but I fear there will be a lot more dead Americans over a long, hot summer before it does. Neighbors, friends and relatives of MAGAts should start taking notes.
Riots over Obammer getting arrested for being a traitor?
Well, that's when NG will use live fire. It works. Or they could just declare open season on the shitheads, and I could work with that.
Deputize Americans temporarily.

Iranian drones are actually open source. Most "Iranian drones" are made by proxies and use the open source of their design as a deniability factor. There is no need to reverse engineer anything, I am sure that the US Government has the actual design schematics.

Shahed uses Chinese parts, so while we can make it, it cannot be legally produced for the US military. Besides, the only thing that makes it better than Switchblade is the price.

Our "improved drones" cost 35K per unit.
The Switchblades are $50k to $170k+. The Shahed can be produced in the west for $7k. Labor is cheaper outside the west, but getting parts is often more expensive.

The Switchblade is a totally different design, not an improvement. It is better, but not 7 to 25 times better. So dollar for dollar, the Shahed is probably better. BUT, big but here, we have more money, so it is easy for us to spend more money on drones. We want better, even if it costs more. They need whatever they can afford.

The scary part is they can afford some reasonably good technology.
 
Looks like the rats are starting to skate:



"Joe Kent resigned as director of the National Counterterrorism Center on Tuesday because he could not “in good conscience” support the Middle East conflict. He wrote that Iran posed “no imminent threat” to the U.S. and suggested Trump was drawn into the war because of “pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
 
That's why we have a ship full of those drones, right?
Why would we want a ship full of drones? It seems like a single target of failure. What we would need is to disperse the drones as widely as possible among our forces... And even just sitting quietly away from our forces.

And Israel's making them, too. Seems like you do not know much about what's going on.
The US military is getting more and more drones, as are the Israelis. These are not Shehan drones, but rather American and Israeli designed drones. A common set of designs, the Switchblade, performs basically the same task as the Shehan.

It is not a copy of the Iranian Shehan as Fastlane claims.
 
Riots over Obammer getting arrested for being a traitor?
The amount of evidence that you would need to come up with to legally arrest Obama for treason would be insane, especially considering that you have done none of it. Alt right blogs are not acceptable evidence in court.

So if you can ever find any evidence, get back to us.

Well, that's when NG will use live fire. It works. Or they could just declare open season on the shitheads, and I could work with that.
Deputize Americans temporarily.
trump keeps saying he will suspend the Constitution, and overthrow the government with a self coup using either the military of deputized "patriots." I think we have done a better job of educating US citizens, and I doubt that would work.
 
In fairness, the Lucas, which is 5 times the price of the Shahed was partly designed from the plans for the Shahed, but there had to be huge changes to make it from non-Chinese parts.

We really could not match their prices without using Chinese parts, which is illegal.
