20 years after 9/11, more vulnerable than ever

20 years after 9/11, region still a target, too vulnerable

Is there any thinking person out there who does not know that southeastern Connecticut is at risk of possible terrorist attacks by insane countries or coalitions, likely to form destructive plans for targeted American places? The Gold Star Bridge, destroyed, would block the channel for submarines, rendering the Groton base useless, then destroyed, not to mention the I-95 corridor crippled.

The Coast Guard Academy, Homeland Security Station, General Dynamics, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Millstone Power Station could all be potential targets for destruction. It was President Reagan who wanted to build, “Star Wars” weaponry, launched into outer space, outfitted with lasers, to destroy nuclear weapons, preventing any country’s weaponry from targeting anything American at will.

President Trump formed the Space Corps as a military branch, conducting Homeland Security from outer space. Yes, the United States, Russia and China have these weapons. Such dastardly attacks mentioned above may happen, especially post-war strikes, in America, since the 20-year war just ended was not winnable from the start.

Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Maybe we should use such defensive tactics before it is too late! Remember it was 9/11 that started this. Just some realistic food for thought.
