Hello.

That poll, is a weird one

I do not think there is any information available to suggest anything about the nations, and all of them have had spectacular failures in collecting such intelligence.

Welcome to WAB, dark-alias.
There really is no need to be very excited. Calm down. The world is quite frenetic enough already. The poll is much too limited to gain my attention, I'm afraid. You wouldn't care to widen it?

Thank you debbie. I am more concerned with immediate outlets at the moment. Iran has more than enough ops. per. in Iraq to collect huge amounts of data on our day to day mil. ops. civil ops. log. ops. study stregths and weaknesses, but not in a training environment but real live combat zones throught the region. China is right in our backyard, im not trying to sound ominous but for some things i know as certainties, and not factual assumptions. Mexican port cities? Rail Roads, San Diego, Infrastructure. Israelies are masters in their own right, but more out of neccesity than anything else. I might be unique in my thoughts but I am curious as to your insights on the issue. Take it in any direction you see fit and I look forward to reading some new angles. Hope all is well with everyone, remember "stay alert, stay alive"
