Boy, do I have news for you about how weakly controlled shipping is. There are so many ships moving around with legit seeming purposes that actually do things they're not supposed to. And sometimes the people who crew and own the ship aren't even from the place the ship is registered!

It's not like they'd be loading satellite visible drones from an Iranian port on an Iranian flagged container ship post attack and then running full steam toward San Diego.

remember that balloon(s) that had everyone shitting themselves?

They could be carried.

Some Russian drones fly over Europe from time to time, to test the defences and/or gather intel. They launch from vessels that look civilians, sail under a third party flag, and transport legit goods to further confuse investigations.

Ukraine did a remarkable strike deep inside Russia by having their attack drones carried in a truck driven by a Russian driver who had no clue what he was carrying.

So the drones may have been dispatched some time ago and could very well be on US soil waiting to be activated, or they could be transported on any vessel around.

It directly says how in the post summary.

According to google maps it's about 7200 miles to hit the east coast or 7800 miles to hit the west coast.

So yeah technically closer but surprisingly close.

Plus going for west coast is mostly over ocean or China so less US military bases that would maybe be able to intercept it.

Got to say I am glad I live in one of the least populated states and very unlikely to suffer from a foreign attack. Used to live near Boston, always figured if the nukes dropped I'd be in the first wave of casualties lol. Now I'll just have to deal with all the nuclear fallout etc... a slower more painful death! Wahoo!

Why would Iran attack a state that is generally opposed to war?

This is just so America that I almost think you're taking the piss.

The rest of the world doesn't care or even know about the politics of whatever states.

Iran is fully capable. They’re not some small spec of a country in the middle of a desert. A war with Iran is a terrible idea, not only thinking of their size but the amount of refugees it could create.

California didn't vote for Trump.

Yeah it would be the stupidest thing they could possibly do. The approval rating of the war is under 20%.

That said, I worry that these "warnings" are a precursor to a false flag attack.

This is what the administration wants. They have been openly laying the groundwork for it as an excuse to seize domestic power militarily. If there is an attack on US soil it is solely the Republican party that bears all blame and responsibility.

They will bomb every single government facility elementary school* in Iran in about 2 weeks

And? Right now it’s basically what’s happening, except it also includes schools and infrastructure and hospitals. You’re saying they should just sit down and take it? The US has this problem with not understanding what a consequence is and it might be time they learned.
