America has begun preparing for a major attack on the nation's capital - by simulating incoming missiles and hijacked airplanes. US defense contractor Northrop Grumman announced the successful test of its Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) this month. (Photo) The Beltway-area around Washington DC, known by defense personnel as the 'National Capital Region,' was successfully defended against 'simulated cruise missiles and 'compromised aircraft,' the company said. The tests come amid rising tensions worldwide, with the US amassing a war machine in the MidEast in a clear message to Iran to stay on the sidelines as Israel prepares to launch a ground invasion into Gaza.

If they couldn't handle a few protesters on Jan 6th, I have little faith they could handle a real attack.

It'd certainly drain the swamp, all right.

Just a head fake by the PsyOps. Yeah, sure, the brave Fed Workers are at big risk (99.9% 'working' from home') Wouldn't put it past our super duper on-the-ball FIB to interdict anything that is going on that is really dangerous. Keystone cops are too busy getting their latest DEI creds to get another 5% 'merit' payraise and another 5 days a year in vacay for having such 'stressful' jobs.....

I thought Trump supporters were the biggest threat. The same supporters who walked into the Capitol unarmed, strolled through the building, and walked out without causing any damage all while being watched by the Capitol Police. As far as I know, Trump supporters don't have any missiles. Only those funded by the demosluts get to have missiles.

Why would terrorists strike first on the most dangerous place for Americans?

It would be a blessing for freedom, but the islamists will never hit their allies.

Simulations are programmed to win or lose.
This one does not mean a thing.
It would be almost impossible to set up a missile system this country without someone wondering WTH you were doing.
The danger in DC is not from missiles , but from humans making and planting bombs.

Since this mess started there has been almost 300 UFO sightings, some very strange. Not to worry.

as long as the attacker gets rid of the politicians, lobbyists, and bureaucrats, then its hard for me to care.

I get the jokes. But the possibility of a major attack on US soil is a real and it’s not going to be humorous no matter where it is. Biden is very close to plunging us into WW III. We’ve drained our arms and given them to Ukraine and our enemies know that. We are not in a good place.

I predict that we will find out later that the troops Biden is sending(remains to be seen) to Israel will actually actively interfere with Israel trying to protect itself.

How about an Iron Dome like Israel has? But really, if I were the Lord, I would wipe out D.C. and start over.

Time to scare the population into compliance...it's always the same ole...same ole...justifying their existence....I"ll take care of you...if you just vote for me....scaring and shaming is how the democrats hold on to power....and now the obama/biden regime is getting dangerous because they're losing control...so a BIG splash must be done.....and Iran is just the ticket.......looks like Israel isn't backing down with eliminating Hamas.....good for Bibi....little minds full of mush demonstrating at some choice places isn't picking up any traction ....WE still support Israel.....

They let the terrorists in, and you can make simple rocket and warhead in just a few days with basic hand tools.
I guess you'll use nukes a d f15s, huh, Brandon?

DC will probably make a properly simulated response.
