There is a level of derangement involved in thinking that a "limited military strike" is not an act of war.

It's like a cat playing with a mouse. To the cat, it's all a game. To the mouse, it's a desperate fight for survival.

This is why it's said: "Never frighten a man who is smaller than you; he will shoot you."

To whatever poster that said they hate drones and want to shoot them down in the neighborhood - well, that’s too bad because personal drones that are luckily now very powerful and capable are an advancement in technology and glad that’s it’s available to the general public.

If advanced firearms are available to the public, then why can’t I use a drone to explore and take great pics of my area?

Stop restricting everything - restricting things, just like some of you republicans do, puts a big stop in the advancement of science and technology.

In International airspace? Sez who? Trump? Trump lost all credibility starting on the day of his inauguration. This is why honestly matters. This is why we have been telling you Trumpsters that Trump’s 10,000 lies (so far) were bad for the country. No leader in the world trusts anything that comes out of his mouth. Good luck getting any kind of coalition against Iran.

Advancements aren't good if they lower the quality of life.

We shouldn't rush to a future, we should choose what future we want to live in.

RQ-4 Global Hawk:

Incase one is wondering, the Global Hawk RQ4 drone is a fullsize aircraft not some toy which is why it costs that much!
It cost that much because it's a huge welfare program for the war industry.

I have one with a 4K camera but I don't fly it near people's houses.

Reading your post, one can tell you are totally partisan, why would anyone trust anything that comes out of YOUR mouth?

Look at the Great Seal of the United States, it's the bald eagle with the arrows BUT ALSO the olive branch... the ability to wage catastrophic war against it's enemies BUT and most importantly the desire for peace. The horrible regimes in these other countries are the ones that threaten us, our allies and the stability of the entire world, let's get it straight.

So calling our military the "war" industry is highly inappropriate.

No country is threatening the us and in every case it is the aggressor.

It costs that much because that was determined to be the maximum amount the government could swindle out of taxpayers. What it actually costs to make I am sure is much less.
