How long do you think it takes to take overhead photos of a military base a transmit them overseas? Do you think they use a pigeon? Taiwan's already dealing with this issue.

You are wildly unfamiliar with U.S. military base airspace management if you think there's drones flying over them taking pictures. Taiwan might have this problem, but the US doesn't.

If you want to live in some jingoistic fantasy land where the US military has zero security holes, feel free, but it's incredibly naïve.

I live near a military base where a guy was approached with multiple guards armed with fully-automatic rifles, just for taking a photo of a deer without any buildings or even so much as a fence in the photo. They will shoot a $1000 drone flying over before asking questions.

"I live near a military base! I know everything about their security!"

Jesus Christ. Embarrassingly naïve would have been more accurate.

"I can speak intelligently about one small aspect of security that I have first-hand experience with" was somehow interpreted by you as, and I quote you directly: "I know everything about their security"

Lol, okay bud. You keep living in the world where US military bases can't figure out how to keep drones out of their airspace.

Taiwan's situation is unique given their position in Asia and the World.

Taiwans position in the world has absolutely nothing to do with it's susceptibility to drone surveillance and invasion.

But I'm sure you guys all know way more about military security than the Senate committees on Intelligence and Homeland Security.

China's One China Principle makes Taiwan a problem for anyone who wants to deal with either countries, it makes a huge difference.
