I was listening to Matt Bracken on Rumble, and Matt brought up point I had not considered.
Israel just demonstrated a capability that should make all of us pay attention: the state use of wireless devices to execute a mass time on target attack.
What if, in the future, someone does this to cell phones of MAGA voters? Or, to get at Elon Musk, they do this to Tesla cars?
Yeah, that was basically my thought. I imagine the various three-letter agencies were busy writing down ideas after they saw the bullshit Israel pulled off.
Assuming Israel didn't steal the idea from said three-letter agencies to begin with.
They did.
This is not the first time israel has used exploding phones to assassinate people. They're really into double meanings and codes and tricky language and infiltration, so something about a communication device exploding just really tickles them.
