How best does the global community stop Iranian-inspired terrorist attacks?

It is a UN matter and can be resolved by multiparty talks and the airing of grievances on all sides.

Proportionate responses by the global community to terrorist attacks by Iranian surrogates will eventually end them.

Iran must be sanctioned again, and its oil sales embargoed.

NATO and its allies must stop Iran’s support for terrorism by disrupting Iranian supply routes to its terrorist appendages.

The only solution is for the U.S. to take out Iran’s military bases and nuclear sites by preemptive air attacks.

This week, President Biden will deliver the annual State of the Union Speech. A quote he should use

We attend to our own affairs, conserve our own strength, and protect the interests of our own citizens; but we recognize thoroughly our obligation to help others. (Calvin Coolidge, 1923)

I shall withhold from neither the Congress nor the people any fact or report, past, present, or future, which is necessary for an informed judgment of our conduct and hazards. (John F. Kennedy, 1961)

I must say to you that the state of the union is not good. (Gerald Ford, 1975).

[W]e must stick to our carefully integrated plan for recovery . . . continued reduction of the growth in federal spending . . . preserving the individual and business tax reductions . . . (Ronald Reagan, 1982)

We know big government does not have all the answers. We know there’s not a program for every problem . . . The era of big government is over. (Bill Clinton, 1996)

In what tactical and strategic ways have military drones changed the nature of modern warfare and the relative strengths of the world’s armed forces?

Drones are an untested sort of hobby weapon, and no substitute for traditional artillery, armor, and manned aircraft.

Drones offer advantages to military forces but cannot in themselves fundamentally alter the outcome of wars.

Today’s use of drones is as revolutionary a tactical development as 20th-century artillery, missiles, and armor.

Drones are revolutionary weapons of the future that will recalibrate traditional assessments of relative military power.

Future warfare will see the end of all manned military operations and will likely be fought exclusively with drones.
