Taking into consideration what Israel was able to do to Iran with the pre planted drones and pre planted bombs to disable their air defenses and about a third of their missile launchers how difficult would it be to do the same to us? With our open borders and unknown illegal immigrants it would seem to be easier to pull the same here. Isreal has tried to avoid hitting the networks that support the general population but what if our enemies targeted our infrastructures such as water, electricity, gas services and the internet. Without the internet not much business is getting done and no banking. I doubt as long as our citizens are well armed we'd see a ground invasion but without food, gas or electricity we might surrender pretty fast as soft as we are. Seems we'd be an easier target than Irian in this regard. What do you all think. Something else to think about is most of our tech stuff is made in China. Seems it might allow them more access to things we might not want them to access too. If a major world war started our open arms, open border policy might not look so good. I know we are the great USA and nobody would dare but underestimating ur enemies is one of the most dangerous things you can do.

one of these things that you think about but dont want to put onto the net

Israel appears to be stellar in precise extermination


Good thing they are our amigos

Pretty sure if I can think it up any of our enemies have all ready thought about it. Lol

have you seen some of our enemies?

Most all of us carry a digital tracking device in our pockets daily that we use to communicate with. This device is mostly made and created by our enemy.
This same device can be installed with explosive devices at anytime via updates or app installs. I'd say we are pretty vulnerable. Not only that; most people in the US are not like country folk and would have a hard time making it 24 hours if the lights go out.

No but I know my intellectual limits

Nonsense x1000. We are extremely vulnerable, would you prefer we all gather bass units and CB's from the 70's and communicate via analog? Right here is the place for us like minded people to discuss such things. Me personally, with the lax border, we could be in for a rude awakening.

If you are saying a phone that has not been pre-tampered with can be made to explode just by a simple update, I’d say it’s one of those times you need to put your foil hat back on and sit in the corner…. Let’s say for at least an hour. After that, we’ll see how it goes for the rest of the evening.

I’d worry more about what’s came across the border in the last several years a gorilla force can do a lot of damage that welcome Matt was out for a long time!

My tinfoil hat stays on 24/7. Whose to say that the phones we purchase are not already "pre-tampered with?
You do your thing, I'll do mine.

Maybe not BOOM but definitely SIZZLE set crap on fire. Samsung did it by accident a few years back. Just what would it take to piggyback on one of the many updates or slip in on popular apps code that alters or deletes the recharging safeties regarding overcharging or overheating?

Very vulnerable but we do have a few things going for us.

Two oceans, pretty much anything used needs to be prepositioned. Granted that may already been done.
Size, lots of ground to cover. However in light of the above our free internal travel may mean it was easy to get it done.
Diverse infrastructure, due to our free market much of our infrastructure is divided up into smaller independent parts. Roads, power, water, fuel, rail, air all are split into smaller netwotworks. However, at some points they all link up and become interconnected leading to potential cascading effect without the need to take down all.

No doubt, Warrior …. But that is much different than exploding phones. If they had that capability(via an update or app) we’d all been blown to smitherines a long time ago.

Wrong midlander. They still need the ants working for now.

No offense intended, I enjoy most of your posts….even the ones have me scratching my head.

Enjoy your posts as well midlander.

I know that my views are not necessarily mainstream.

…. I could single handedly whip the jumped up (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) out of any foreign threat

… you are safe as long as I’m alive

Right on. I heard from a buddy of a buddy that worked at Ford for 36 plus years that all the computer chips as of this year have a kill switch in them. They can stop you at will if they have a mind too. Call me nuts, tin foil hat but first, where do these chips come from? Who's naive?

As long as they dont attack when u have a tee time lol
