...Possibly Iran subcontracting things out to the cartels. Weapons and trained guys are already here, and how hard will it be for them to fade into the mass of illegals?

#3 How many dedicated or aligned Iranian assets have entered our uncontrolled border since Bidet took office is unknown. I suspect by now there are well developed nodes with targeting folders and logistics caches throughout the nation. Somehow, I have very low confidence that DHS/FBI/NSA/CIA has a good visibility of the threat.

The trigger for action may well be an Israeli strike on Iranian nuke facilities, a more extensive conflict in the Middle East, a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, or even some NATO-Russian flare-up.

The level of chaos possible is far greater than anything in our past since the Civil War. Targeting poorly defended civilian infrastructure like the electrical grid, energy, water and retail food delivery systems would create nationwide civil unrest in days, not weeks, over whelming national emergency management resources and decision-makers. It feels a lot more like 1453 than 2023 these days!

#4 I get the feeling that this is not a high priority for the FBI.
