The ease with which drones and smaller launch systems can be utilized by small groups of "militia" with a grudge is alarming.

Do they not know that Trump will still be POTUS after the midterms regardless of the results? And that he will still be the CiC of the military?
And that he can be very petty and could then give a much worse response to Iran because of this to pay them back?
