Are you and your children prepared for Drone Attacks in your American City?

 Best be prepared.  Our military is ensuring we will see them in use against civilians on our streets, one day.  Pray for wiser minds to empower and lead us in this country ("Love Your Neighbor as You Love Yourselves":, or  not.)  (When we have a weak president at home, the military seizes the moment and begins leading us, with the tools in their toolbox:  Rule of Force -- not reason -- and military minds leading an essentially defenseless country with exposed civilan spaces...  If you love your way of life, how can you jusify this.... warring with a superpower, allegedly "on the cheap?  Any America adults still paying attention?  Don't you love your children too, as the Russians surely do?)

May 2023:  Drones have taken center stage during the war in Ukraine. Initially, Ukraine capitalized on the Turkish-manufactured TB2 Bayraktar drone to help disrupt Russia’s invasion, including by sinking the Moskva, Russia’s acclaimed guided missile cruiser. In the second half of 2022, Ukraine took the unprecedented step of building an “army of drones” to consolidate earlier gains, incorporating both smaller, tactical drones as well as civilian drones modified for military use. At the same time, the United States has sent over 1,000 “kamikaze” Switchblade drones, sometimes referred to as “loitering munitions,” to Ukraine as part of its security assistance packages worth $40 billion. As the war has dragged on, Ukrainian officials have requested more advanced drones from the United States, which U.S. policymakers have been reluctant to provide.
