Bottom line, we're getting our butts kicked basically because Trump and company are fighting the last war

one commentator made the point that if Trump hadn't dissed Zelenski so badly, he might have called Trump up and told him what was coming and how to deal with it.

The Navy has spent a lot of effort on laser tech, which could be a big neutrallizer against drones, in fact against all airborne threats, if they can make it work. To stick with the paradigm of the article, the kill cost with a directed energy weapon is measured in pennies and a single unit can take down a whole swarm in seconds seriatum (again - this is the theory.) There was a lot press on this a few years ago, but things have largely gone silent, which means they've either hit a technical issue they can't solve, or they are quietly starting to role it out. Seeing as the Gulf would have been the perfect place to apply it, the latter seems doubtful.

Swarm/drone warfare requires exquisite geoint resources.  Nobody has that better than the US government.  Google Maps don't work if the baddies have not allowed Google into the country and/or have distorted all the publicly available maps so that for some reason the 6th and Vine in Pyongyang is actually showing up in Inchon.  

Ukraine's bold attacks on Russia are because they are getting help from somewhere.  It might not be with the Oval Office's awareness.

Bibi doesn't want this to end and Trump can't seem to do anything about it.

Look, I acknowledge that chances are this is more likely true than not, but god damn it, why do we have to have a president that makes us even question whether this is true in the first place?

because he's a felon and a proven liar.   The why is because we failed to develop time travel in time.

They sent a some kind of drone(s?) out to get the crew that was able to transport them to a point were pick up by Helo was done. Would like to see how that was all configured.

Bibi finding out he may the the next discard in Trump's long game of Rummy.

Quote

When previous U.S. presidents sought to tie the hands of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli leader often exploited rifts in U.S. politics to find a friendlier ear in Washington and wriggle free from constraints placed on him.

But Netanyahu is finding that there is no higher court of appeals in his faceoff with President Donald Trump, who has a viselike grip over his party — at a time when Democrats have little or no sympathy for the Israeli leader.

Trump in recent days has been asserting blunt power over Israel in a way no other president has in decades, declaring on Monday that he had forced Netanyahu to turn around an attack that had already been launched against Iran by telling him he would otherwise “end up alone” against Tehran.

The result is an unusually public breach between two leaders who have forged a strong alliance while often facing opprobrium from other nations. But now their domestic political agendas are diverging: Trump wants a quick end to the Iran war, while Netanyahu faces pressure to push on toward total victory against Tehran.

Trump’s warning that he might withhold support for Israel was a departure from long-standing U.S. practice of backing Israel against Iran under almost any circumstance. Netanyahu played a major part in persuading Trump to take part in the initial February attack on Iran.

Drone boat. They were able to climb on board and it took them to safety.
