Iron Dome [the Israeli missile defense system] uses American technology. Today's massive failure is technical, but of what sort has not been made known, but the death toll in Israel is rising. How many like gaps in other, similar American tech affect American security?
From Mike Mihajlovic: "It appears that Hamas accumulated thousands of rockets which barrages simply saturate the Iron Dome radars so it can't process the data correctly... If they start to use drones simultaneously to sneak beneath it will be disastrous for the defenders. Iron Dome batteries are stationary, so eliminating just one or two, without a proper overlap can open the zone for future rocket launches."
“The decline of community in the modern world has as its inevitable religious consequence the creation of masses of helpless, bewildered individuals who are unable to find solace in Christianity regarded merely as creed.”

American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
