It was a very clever tactic. Ukraine was able to penetrate deep inside Russia and launch concealed drones and a deadly attack from a freight container on the back of a semitrailer.
Then this week we learn how Israel’s Mossad over several years has been able to embed operatives inside Iran to create drone factories adjacent to defence installations,.
These two similar events has me wondering when the penny is going to drop.
When will America join the dots on this and ask why China has purchased huge tracts of agricultural land adjacent to major defence installations.
In hindsight, given what we now know of this new strategy involving drones it’s reasonable to ask, how and why was this was ever allowed to happen.
Even today under the Trump administration, why isn’t the US a touch more pro active or even curious?
Were these strategic land purposes given the go ahead by insiders?
The same insiders around Biden when in 2023 there was the embarrassing and humiliating circumstance for America when a Chinese spy balloon 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 to traverse the US from the NW to the SE over the period of a week/ten days and was only shot down into the ocean once it had completed its mission.
Then there was the live firing by a CCP navy vessel off the southern coast of Australia in early 2025. Prime Minister Albo wasn’t remotely interested.
This one in the US is yet to play out but in light of this new 21st century war strategy of setting up a series of embedded, in country, high tech platforms in advance, they obviously haven’t taken into account national security considerations.
It seems quite apparent that America, like Israel and like the rest of the West is at war long before the bullets start flying but aren’t even aware.
