The answer is going to be both.

Drones are the future of warfare. Ukraine has proven that.

But if the US decides to invade, it absolutely WILL send troops over the border. And we'll be there, shooting them down. Carney may have to undo Trudeau's silly handgun restrictions for us RPAL holders for the good of Canada.

I'm too old to be a soldier, but I can still hold a rifle. I'm not a violent person, but I will defend my country. I don't believe that most people in the US support this, but I will shoot to kill any that come across the border with plans to invade.

In my nearly 60 years on this planet, this is the first time I've said I will die defending my country.

So yes, in a situation of war we support drones. We support attacks deep within US territory, rather than traditional face-to-face combat.

But we will do whatever it takes to protect our country.

Almost 70 and cannot walk but 2 metres at a time. Strap a bomb to my scooter and I will drive into a bunch of em and blow them up.

Ohh that would be fun. One little, two little invaders, three, four little invaders …

I am sure we can get you doing other things rather than suicide scooting.

Dude why die at someone when you can blast old dude ass at them. That's dangerous ass.
