Not really arguing your point, but… My experience with many of these Elite’s (pretty much 100% of all Proglodytes & Libtard’s think they’re Better than us) find it difficult to cooperate with each other in a cohesive fashion. Not impossible, but note really super effective either?
I’ve worked high tech my entire adult life and witnessed this many times, but it is just my opinion, informed by my experiences.
Also, I need to dig into this more I missed this tidbit of news amidst Easter and a rousing Iran rescue…
In my academic experience, the tenured radicals all want to be Lenin, and are almost inevitably surrounded by students who all want to be good little Soldiers of the Revolution.
Jacobinism on steroids. Thought neither permitted or required.
Heinlein was correct in The Number of the Beast in 1980.
The rot in post-modern academia today, forty-six years later, is too deep. The only solution is the Roman “solution” for Carthage.
Raze it to the ground, sow it with salt, then plow it under and start over again.

‘The Number of the Beast’ is a good read, but I like Philip Jose Farmer’s ‘Image of the Beast’ too 😉

One news report described them as “resistant to jamming”. Yeah, as in autonomous with pre-programmed GPS.
“All we know is a foreign power is behind it”. If that is truly “all” we know,
we’re screwed.
25mm, 20 and 40mm prox rounds are expensive, programmable air burst, less expensive, both effective only if the shot programmers work well. There are now small arms proximity rounds being used. More range than shotguns but more expensive. And of course, effectiveness depends on the “computer” driving the rifle….

It would be in our own best interests to always remember that our forebears
forged our nation into existence by asymmetric warfare two and a half centuries ago.
There wasn’t much “asymmetric” about Brandywine or Yorktown.
King’s Mountain was probably the only instance of guerrilla-style tactics (and targeted Kentucky rifle fire) destroying a British Regular formation. And then only because the British CO (Gen. Abraham de Peyster) made a lot of basic dumbass mistakes. He is mainly remembered for getting Gen. Patrick Ferguson, creator of the Ferguson breechloading rifle, killed.
Another one (Gen. Edward Pakenham) similarly had the Idiot Ball at New Orleans 35 years later. Unlike de Peyster, he didn’t survive the battle to realize just how big a dumbass he’d succeeded in being.
What mainly defeated King George was trying to fight a colonial campaign across 3,000 miles of ocean. The logistics and C3I of 1776-81 just wasn’t up to the job.
The Colonials could harass British troops with guerrilla tactics, but actually defeating them on the battlefield required manpower trained and equipped for the By The Book methods of the day.
Baron von Steuben provided the training, and the Comte de Lafayette and his King (Louis XVI) provided the equipment.
That would backfire rather badly on Louis thirteen years later.
“NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets.
The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural.
Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them.”
Much more at the link, well worth the read.
America has been holding it’s enemies too close thinking they were friends.

Foreign power?
All that’s really needed for this is
1. Some academic faculty lounge lizards with the required “post-modern progressive” dogmas
2. A bunch of their heavily-indoctrinated “students” with the proper anti-Western bias programmed into them, plus
3. Mommy and Daddy’s college fund for said “golden child” party animal types, to pay for
4. One or more massive orders from Amazon for the gadgetry.
Result?
5. A massive “social justice” school project for academic credit.
Change my mind.

This does seem worrisome…

But are they resistant to proximity fuzed 30mm frag rounds ?

Pardon my stupidity, but who is the horse-faced woman lurking in the background of this entire story arc so far?
The condescending expression, folded hands and general air of “Oh you poor thing, you need my magnanimous help” makes me suspect an AWFL.
Toxic parent taken to the next level.

Not sure……but I DO recognize good ol’ “Cocaine Mitch” aka “Turtle” in the BG to her right!!!
Samantha Powers?

I ran across this link to an X account statement that fits well into today’s subject.

Some interesting conversation in the comments on this iten at smalldeadanimals.

You will see that many Canadians here do really understand what we are and have been. As well as what we should have been and should be.
