In the last week or so there have been a number of reports about large drones flying over New Jersey and New York City. When reporters have asked the Department of Defense and the FBI about this they were that the drones are unidentified. But at the same time there was no sense of urgency by these agencies to calm the civilian population by assuring them that an investigation is in effect. It was more or less a shrug of the shoulders and the comment that local law enforcement would handle these mysterious craft.
A congressman from New Jersey posited that there was a rumor that the drones were Iranian and that they were associated with a “mothership” based off the east coast in the Atlantic. The Pentagon spokesman denied this and said there was no indication that the drones were foreign or controlled by adversaries of the United States. But at the same time there was no indication how this could be known if the drones were unidentified.
So, then what is going on?
Well, of course I can’t prove anything. But it occurs to me that Iran makes a lot of military drones and Russia uses an enormous number of military drones in the Ukraine war. And both those countries are looking to make trouble for the United States because of military actions we have currently going on in their neighborhoods, in other words Syria and Ukraine.
Maybe they’re sending a message that they can retaliate for the attacks going on in their world. Or maybe they’re scouting around to find the easiest or the most valuable targets to hit. Well, isn’t that something!
And, of course, all of this is in response to US initiatives that were activated after the Democrats lost the November election. After November 5th the United States gave Ukraine permission to use long range missiles in the Russian homeland. And of course the toppling of the Assad regime by American proxies just occurred in the last week. So, the State Department and the Department of Defense unleash chaos around the world and the blowback from it will hit home about the time President Trump is inaugurated. Isn’t that something!
For me this just reinforces what kind of psychopaths we have running our foreign policy. Antony Blinken and Victoria Nuland play their color revolution games with foreign countries and the blowback will be felt by innocent Americans and especially by our military that shouldn’t be put in harm’s way for egregious adventures that only alienate the rest of the world and benefit no one except the military contractors that feed off of the arms buildup that follows after these obscene plans are put in action.
Well, there’s basically nothing that can be done until that undead creature is finally packed into his mummy case and carted away from the White House. Maybe we’ll get lucky and the other shoe doesn’t drop before January 20th and Donald Trump can inform our adversaries that sanity has reasserted itself over US foreign policy and that all ticking time bombs will be deactivated and we can start from a simple position of mutual hatred but without the added factor of sociopaths with delusions of grandeur running foreign policy for the world’s deadliest weapons stockpile.
Well, anyway, I’ve got my fingers crossed and I’m usually a pretty lucky guy. It’s less than 40 days but why does it seem like a million miles away?
