      The problem with bombing your neighbour is that the guy whose family you just massacred can buy a bomb and a drone from AliExpress with free shipping and fast delivery (nobody will catch it on the border in Mexico), just grab it and walk across to Manhattan and blow it up on Times Square or the NYSE.

      Sure, you can catch the guy. Can you catch all the thousands of guys? If they do it organized by the cartels? Ukrainian SF could infiltrate the back country of Russia and blow up vital train lines along with a train full of military supplies. Would someone who kinda looks Mexican not blend in in the US?

      They only need to succeed once for thousands to die. What would the US do with a violent 9/11 every week? How long until it went over to Endlösung-ing everyone who looks Spanish? What if those people start shooting back instead of being quietly led away?

        The fact that noone has set off a dirty bomb in NY harbour is either a miracle or an indication that it’s not a priority for “the terrorists”.
