Let's start militarily

We cannot win militarily

What are our options

1. Ground assault ain't gonna happen. In fact, even the possibility of a ground invasion is beyond fanciful. We simply do not have the troops to do it and have exactly zero allies willing to put their lives on the line to that end.

2. Limited ground action, i.e. seizing territory-strategic dead end. There is no land that could induce Iran to surrender. Kharg Island? NOPE. To say nothing of the challenges at assaulting it and putting our troops as sitting ducks, it will achieve exactly 1 thing. Iran will level the gulf state's energy infrastructure

3. Concerted air offensive-Iran already took the worst America and Israel could inflict on us and hit back hard enough to induce Piggy to surrender with the Memorandum of Understanding-you know, the surrender document. We do not have the stand-off offensive or defensive missile supply. Full stop

4. Tit-for-tat attacks-low intensity ongoing bombing campaign. Iran has a distinct advantage in this regard as their munition supplies are not strained and they have a plethora of targets and other options, i.e. Houthis

5. Blockade-isn't working, Iran has been an isolated country for decades and is prepared to sacrifice. $5 per gallon fuel is making Americans cry surrender

6. That leaves us with the nuclear bomb issue. Piggy may get that desperate. Will Piggy use 1 leaving iran with 29 other missile locations unhit able to respond and destroy as much as they can? Or will Piggy use 30 nukes to hit the 30 buried missile locations inflicting a globally devastating nuclear winter.

Nope no military solution

That means new devices continue to appear as jurisdictions add to their inventory or upgrade their equipment -- including one that was being installed on Aug. 19 on a suburban street outside of Atlanta, not far from the home of InvestigateTV's Brendan Keefe.

Three police cars ended up in the national investigative reporter's rearview mirror that Wednesday afternoon after he tried to film the technician installing an upgraded camera on a public street, shown in his video story at the top of this story.

The stop is one of at least two documented cases this year in which those working for Flock Safety called police on people engaging in the same category of public recording into which the company asserts its technology fits. ...

Keefe parked on the public street at a distance, donned a yellow safety vest and a hat emblazoned with the logo of InvestigateTV's Atlanta affiliate where he also works, displayed a press placard on his dashboard and then pulled out a camera to record the installation.

As Keefe began to shoot video, the installer saw him and immediately packed up his equipment and drove away, so Keefe also returned to his car and followed several cars behind, hoping to document the next stop.

The technician called 911. ...
