This entire administration is incompetent.. I’m not surprised we shot down our own drone.

Russian anti aircraft systems shoot down their own planes as a matter of routine. Trump just wants to be like his hero Putin.

Spending billions on a drone just to shoot it down yourself is the most efficient military ever lol.

The most frustrating part about this isn’t just that the military shot down our own border drone; it is that this was entirely preventable. Lawmakers literally had a bipartisan bill ready to improve communication between the Pentagon, FAA, and DHS to stop exactly this kind of friendly-fire incident from happening. But because the administration completely sidestepped it, we now have federal agencies flying blind and blasting each other’s equipment out of the sky. It is just staggering operational incompetence.

Trump literally went on national TV and suggested using household cleaning substance under the skin to cure COVID. Then he proceeded to catch COVID and needed a ventilator so he wouldn’t die. Incompetence doesn’t describe him.

Brady Tkachuk has a fresh Olympic Gold medal. He is *for sure* a winner, and anyone who wants to learn about a winner’s mindset can listen to him – he gives interviews. Unfortunately losers won’t listen, learn, change, so they stay losers. When they see a winner, they “correct” his words to be a loser’s idea of what a winner sounds like. That’s what’s happening with “warrior culture” too. Expect more losing.

Staggering incompetence pretty much describes the entire trump administration

I’m not sure that Trump can be blamed for this. The US military has been shooting down its own for as long as anyone can remember.

At least it was a drone and not a Ballon, you know multi-billion baby steps.

And these muppets think they are going to just invade Iran without any trouble, a nation that has stockpiles of the latest anti ship and surface to air batteries.

Our incompetent administration, who takes pride in firing smart people, used a laser weapon and failed to properly identify the target first. And we wonder why the Anthropic folks are like, “yeah nah, don’t use our AI to fully automate your hair-brained weapons ideas.”

Do American government drones not have IFF transponders?
