That link has the following: https://x.com/nettermike/status/2009843044028428714

> Security Guard: Without a doubt. I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not to be messed with.

Sounds like a strategic bluff.

Indeed it was covered in multiple mainstream news that the US used such a weapon in Venezuela:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-used-sonic-weapon-venezu...

https://nypost.com/2026/01/10/world-news/us-used-powerful-so...

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havana_syndrome, the use of the device has been increasing exponentially:

> There are no official statistics, but media reporting indicated a total of 26 people around 2017,[10] 40 in 2019 (U.S. and Canadian),[11] 130 people in May 2021,[12] more than 200 by September 2021,[13] and more than 1,000 by early 2022.[14]

I suspect that this device's proliferation is going to raise major hell worldwide in the years to come.

Time to get Anduril & Associates churn out knock-offs for local "law" enforcement distribution, so they can help Mango Mussolini and Crew to Make America Great Again. "That's what I voted for!1!!"

If they haven't been scammed, there would have to be a belief the originating economy has countermeasures or some belief it can sustain across its use.

If they have been scammed, it wouldn't be the first time. Those carbomb detection broomstick handles come to mind.

For those unfamiliar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadro_Tracker Though the later rename is the one that really took off internationally: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651. Its really a stranger-than-fiction story, a used-car salesman sells to governments a dowsing rod that you can program to find anything by sticking a polaroid in. Pretty grim though when you consider all the people that died from bombings trusting these worthless things, and the money pocketed by corrupt buyers along the way. Only 12 years for the guy at the top too.

What's great about such devices is that they can be interpreted by the operator, and lend a false air of authority to their judgement.

There's a great opportunity for AI here.

> The device acquired by HSI produces pulsed radio waves, one of the sources said

"radio waves" are easily detected. The problems in Havana persisted for weeks and I can't believe the people affected didn't have the tech to detect mere "radio waves"... That story doesn't pass the sniff test.

thepotatodude•3w ago
I think Havana Syndrome was caused by non-human technology. Whether they have reverse-engineered it or not is the question.
