Can remotely controlled drones survive electronic counter measures.

I only worked with rather simple man portable and vehicle mounted electrictronic counter measures (ecm), designed to block radio frequency transmissions from someone trying to detonate an ied remotely, and that was only right towards the end on my time there, so I am not an expert.

But I know navy ships etc have quite sophisticated ECM devices that can thrawt guided missiles, so I don’t think a drone would be an issue.

I mean consumer drones are new and exciting to consumers, but the military have been firing remote control missiles at each other for decades, so for the military it’s not really a new thing.

Yea, the Israeli didn't know what hit them. Lost about three drones last news clip I saw. Then they send over a couple missiles, knocking a couple buildings down. A bullet or two to a few kids head. Kites no more.

Assassination or Coup attempt?

Could be a trial balloon and signal to certain colonels "lots of options" Trump spoke about are now on the table.

Venezuela... too much oil and not enough fire power to protect it.

Firefighters claimed it was an explosion from a gas bottle in a 2nd story apartment. That piece of sht maduro probably wants to crack down more. Its not the first time he has lied about staged events.

Maybe.

I don't think the Venezuelan gov't is as totalitarian as the US claim. There's still newspapers and tv stations from proprietors who hate Maduro's, and Chavez before him. They're not hiding their hatred, and they're still operating. That's pretty gutsy for a tyrant.

Look at countries like China or Vietnam. Bet you can't find any non-friendly papers operating.

Venezuela and Iran are going to get boots on the ground soon. Don't know how Venezuela will survive it, what with being so sanctioned to death some city of theirs couldn't keep the lights on. Iran wouldn't be so easy though.

Then there's Yemen. Being pounded like it's sitting on crapload of oil, gas, minerals and at the gate of one of the world's most important sea lane.

Oh yea, the Congo has about $27 Trillion worth of mineral wealth under it. And it's one of the poorest country in Africa. Getting liberated by everyone.

Australia better get smart real quick and be able to build its own canoes and a few rockets and fighter jets. Lots of water, mineral and kangaroos you know.
 
The opposition leader in W.A, dared to question the relevance of the newspapers, well he is finding out the relevance in spades. lol

He should have taken note of the hatchet job, that was done on Abbott, tell the masses the same thing enough times and it becomes fact.
 

sptrawler - Thanks for the links..

The W.A. Opposition Leader Mike Nahan should also remember that 'The West Australian' selects the most appropriate picture to reinforce the articles point of view and Iain Gillespie the photographer captured the sediment perfectly.

Skate.

My options were
Run towards the volcano or stay in bed
I chose the later!
 
Cameroon: Medical Staff Abandon Hospitals in Cameroon's Troubled Region

"The military comes, chase them out of the hospital, brutalize them, beat them. Medical personnel are supposed to be protected in times of war. They are there to take care of all casualties, be they from the military or Ambazonians." ~ Ndansi @RepKarenBass

It still have the world's largest oil reserves.

With US sanctions it cannot borrow money, cannot sell its oil, or sell only a limited amount at massive discount.

Then soon enough it's going to be liberated.

Yes it's amazing how things can turn pear shaped, when you annoy your biggest trading partner. The U.S is certainly making life difficult for them.

A good interview on a soft coup in Brazil.
8 Years of incredible social progress ended in 2010.

Friends of the US, working with the local elite, overturn "socialism" with a vengeance.

If we think this only happen to poor, third world countries; never in Australia or even the US itself... we're kidding ourselves.
