#6  Trump won't even need 5x 100KT cruise missiles.

#3  I think we, too, should build a wooden aircraft carrier, except instead of plywood make it out of teak, put some olde time carving on the fore and aft. Then put in propulsion and a RC command structure, actually run UAC ops using RC refule/reload equipment and weapon stores. Totally automated.

An 30 to 50 predator drones for Iran's counter assault capable Military bases.
