Americans are not ready to watch sons and daughters hunted by FPV drones. Some may not like this post, and that’s OK. Some may see this as being a “panican,” and that is also OK. My tolerance for American blood being spilled is very, very low. But this needs to be said: If you have paid any attention to the war in Ukraine, you will know how drone warfare has escalated. You will have an understanding of the sophistication of the Ukrainians and Russians in their pursuit of hunting and killing each other with human-guided robots strapped with explosives. We know Russia and Iran share military ties; hell, the most common form of long-range standoff munition used to target Ukrainian infrastructure is an Iranian-designed Shahed drone. Now, are the Iranians as sophisticated as the Russians? No. But will a ground action result in grainy videos of Americans being hit by FPV drones? Almost certainly. Could the deployment of ground forces to the Gulf be a feint? Sure, it could be, but this point extends beyond Iran. The U.S. needs to be ready to counter the drone menace. I won’t pretend to know the inner machinations of the Joint Chiefs, the White House, or President Trump, but with the destruction of an E-3 Sentry on the runway, it has become absolutely clear the U.S. armed forces have not scaled their ability to handle drones. I don’t know what the answer here is, but I haven’t seen this point brought up at the frequency it deserves. It needs to be said. We are not ready for footage of American soldiers and Marines cowering in their last moments, set to some upbeat pop song or some cleric screaming praises to Allah.

Today we remember the Tomcat. Reports from Iran say the last F-14s were destroyed in airstrikes over Tehran. RIP, old girl. Rest easy.

The U-2 Dragon Lady remains the cleanest symbol of American technological supremacy ever built. Designed in secret by Kelly Johnson's Skunk Works in the mid-1950s, it flew at altitudes nothing else could reach: over 70,000 feet. It turned the sky into an American domain while the Soviets had no answer. It photographed missile sites in Cuba, gave Kennedy the decisive edge in 1962, and kept flying reconnaissance missions no one else could replicate. They managed to shoot down a couple. We responded by making it better, stealthier, and kept it in service for more than seventy years. No other nation has ever fielded anything close to that combination of reach, endurance, and continuous upgrade path. Competitors still chase the capability we demonstrated in the 1950s. We didn't just achieve air superiority. We defined what air supremacy means. That's what American engineering used to mean. And the Dragon Lady is still out there proving it.

Coming out of Iran on a scratchy shortwave signal almost twice a day in the early morning and early evening UTC a man’s voice speaks Persian, counting out a series of apparently random numbers. The numbers are read for varying lengths of time, followed by a pause in which the word “tavajjoh” (meaning “attention”) is spoken three times. Keep your head on a swivel, stay vigilant, and trust your gut when out in public, especially at churches or synagogues.

America in 1945 could have seized the globe, or at least all the places worth seizing. Our navy alone was gargantuan, our troops battle tested, and our economy? the largest and most intact left on the planet. There has never been a country as benevolent as the United States.

Listen, I'm an American who will dump on the UK and any other European country in a heartbeat just because I think it’s funny. I don’t follow English politics closely. I don’t know who Rupert Lowe is, and I don’t know much about the opposition to the current woke communist regime led by candy-ass Keir Starmer. All I know is you poor bastards have lost your way, imported the third world while arresting actual English people for speaking up against roving gangs of migrants literally raping your daughters. You’ve been made second-class citizens in your own country. It might be too late for merry old England, but I pray that’s not the case. When I see videos like this, I get excited for you Brits. Take your country back. The world would be better off with a strong UK.

Globohomo communists like Scott Surovell are plotting with elected foreigners and Abigail Spanberger to strip away our God-given rights. I don’t know a single Virginian who will comply. Nor should they. Fck you Scott
