    I’m not even American and even I have figured that a lot of that shit seems to be being push by the Republican party.

    Instead of “bread and circus” they are just giving you “aliens and Iran”.

      Gotta whip up the hate so we can justify Iraq War 3. Wouldn’t be surprised if we get a bunch of new Chinese Balloon Invasion and Mexican Border Crisis hysteria in the next year, as well, since we want to pick fights with both of them.

      Americans are the most propagandized people on earth. We have the tools to get them to believe just about anything, simply be saturating their eyeballs and ear holes with terror.

        Mexican Border Crisis hysteria in the next year

        No, no, no, don’t be silly!

        The migrant caravans aren’t scheduled to come until one month before the next midterm. We have at least two years before we hear about that one again.

        The absolute best part is…it’s USA. The moment your military gets actually slight spook, of the you know, short gasp variety…you know it because your military complex temporarily forgets limits of today’s technology and produces some sci-fi shit. And yet ya all are still able to be made to be scared of… looks into his book Mexico and…Iran…

        Trump has already been spitballing military intervention in Mexico “to fight the cartels”, like we don’t already provide Mexico with a ton of anti-insurgent trainers and totally-not-special-ops guys who totally do not do violence in-country.

      Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt, it’s the same FUD tactics the wealthy have used for decades to distract from the real problems that should have been resolved decades ago.

    I guess the army doesn’t know a drone from a plane then? the following comes from the DOD.

    _We have had confirmed sightings at Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Weapons Station Earle," the spokesperson said

    “To date, we have no intelligence or observations that would indicate that they were aligned with a foreign actor or that they had malicious intent,” the spokesperson said. “But … we don’t know. We have not been able to locate or identify the operators or the points of origin.” _

      we have no intelligence or observations (…) we don’t know. We have not been able to locate or identify

      They have no clue by their own admission.

      To claim that what amounts to a literal UFO might belong to a hostile actor just because you don’t know that it doesn’t is irresponsible at best, scaremongering jingoism at worst.

      Crazy how you can have a budget in the trillions for national security but “Idk, maybe their not unfriendly? We need another six months to look into it” is the best our top military brass can come up with.

      Really makes you think about how easy 9/11 was to pull off.

    The “with props” implies that all the other planes drones dont have props. All hail the prop-less Cesena!

    Where did all these drones come from? Well, when an Iranian mothership and an Iranian fathership love each other very much…

    Well if they are unmanned they are technically drones. How can you tell from so far away and the middle of the night and with a crappy recording device.

    The Iranian mothership should be a drone, would be funnier IMO.

    Or is the image for that something specific? Been too busy playing the India Jones game all day so I’ve missed news etc.

    This might just be the most stupid thing to have come out of America, like, ever.
