Some people on Twitter have jokingly suggested that the Iranians were looking for the maker of the Stryker military vehicle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stryker

Yeah dumbasses regularly post nonsense on Elon's X™

I'm pretty sure that is not exclusive to X.

Well, time to dust off anti-drone defense systems. Today on NPR they talked that Iran plans to launch drones from ships into California.

I feel like that's not realistic, why would they launch drones to California rather than some place like DC or NY. It's a long distance.

I don't even think they'd launch drones to DC either, they seem to be all in on attacking oil infrastructure as well as us bases & defense systems in the Middle East, rather than America.

> Iran plans to launch drones from ships into California

That does not make any sense to me. Does Iran have a bunch of ships in the Pacific? Why? How would they even got close enough to the US coast without being noticed at this point?

I'm not saying it's not true, I just don't understand.

They are trying to hurt innocents in retaliation for the US murdering their children. I understand the sentiment, but strongly disagree with acting on it. Ukraine has done a much better (of course not perfect) job of retaliating against military targets in response to russian war crimes.

The "Fucking for Virginity" approach to infosec strikes again!

Can you elaborate what you mean? Are you referring to a paradigm where people make their systems less secure in the effort to make them more secure?

I think this refers to "bombing for peace". Sure the West should have just let Iran nuke whoever it wanted.
