Old age & greed will kill their enemies before they ever get a chance to explode them.

Bullshit. They aren't doing it out of commitment. They just lack the tech skills to make and use a drone.

Knew some people who were stationed in middle east countries. The stories they told.... it's fucking hilarious.

FYI: Iran has universities and lets women get advanced science degrees.... Take the hint bro...

Edit: for all those down voting, how about you do some research outside your comfort zone. The Taliban have gutted stem education and ejected women from university. There are on 13 people in the entire country smart enough to work on drones.

They're much cheaper than drones. It's just simple economics.

They're not! Same game with IEDs in Iraq.

Make a man a bomb, he'll bomb for a day.

Teach a man to bomb, he'll bomb for the rest of your life.

That reminds me,

..my grandfather told me on his deathbed that you inherited Bin Laden's hentai collection.

My question is, how many tries did it take you to teach him how to pronounce "hentai"?

They don't really like when women are smart enough to read Wikipedia.

My dude, they aren't cavemen. If you can manufacture explosives you can figure out how to order and operate a drone from China. They've been successfully operating an insurgency against the most powerful and technologically advanced military in the world for 20 years. Most of their higher ups are from rich Saudi families and a lot of them have western educations.

Knew some people who were stationed in middle east countries.

Generally I wouldn't really trust the opinions of someone who volunteered to serve in the military about how smart someone else is.

Drones need batteries and some power infrastructure. Bombers just need fanaticism.

Is "women can get advanced science degrees" unscientific to you? Are you from the 13th century???

You’re statistically more likely to be a suicide bomber than a billionaire

God knows I’d rather pyrotechnically ablate myself than step on a plane with any of those creeps, let alone a private island

You will run out of fanatics before you run out of batteries though. Ressource wise, it takes some pretty specific environments and I'd say at least 16 years to develop one fanatic, or at least one crazy enough to kill himself for the cause.

I was pointing out that Iran allows women to get science degrees and has a healthy drone program.

While Afghanistan has ejected women from schools and their drone program is pretty much non existent.

There are only 13 guy in the whole country working on drones. Meanwhile their university system has been gutted of stem.
