US drone dilemma: Why the most advanced military in the world is playing catchup on the modern battlefield
CNN
Most American soldiers lack the know-how for fighting with unmanned systems, and while the US has excelled at building large, expensive weaponry, it is in many ways unprepared to quickly produce large quantities of small, cheap systems, like drones.

In Venezuela, daily routines seem undisturbed: children attending school, adults going to work, vendors opening their businesses. But beneath this facade lurks anxiety, fear, and frustration, with some even taking preventative measures against a possible attack amid the tension between the United States and Venezuela.

The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east of Venezuela – the admiral who oversaw the operation told lawmakers on Thursday according to two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks.
