It goes back a lot further than that. Al'Qaeda suicide bombers attacked the US navy's USS Cole whilst it was docked at Aden, Yemen all the way back in 2000.
Yemen was actually a British protectorate, or at least parts of it where, right up until the late 1960's when they had a civil war/revolution.

I see that shadow27 gets his news from websites that have a tendency to spread fake news. They did not play ultrasonic sounds. Wouldn't that have affected the thousands of American troops? They did play loud American music to get on the nerves of enemy soldiers.

Thanks to Rupert Murdoch and his ilk most mainstream aussie media also has this tendency. Sky News down under is exactly like Fox is in the US, only worse.

Any guesses on who the allegedly targeted ''sitting US congress member'' might be? My immediate thoughts went straight towards Mitch McConnell and his blank-out incidents.

Yeah but a ''psychoacoustic attack'' with ''the intention of altering mental states of their enemies'' is much scarier sounding than ''they played some rock music really loud to annoy them''

They could easily use a device such as this to scramble Trump or Biden's brains and whose to say they haven't done that to one or both of them already? This is a national security issue that effects both Democrats and Republicans alike, a foreign adversary could take out a sitting US president no matter their party affiliation and that should worry everybody.

Trump's latest and increasingly frequent brain glitches might lend some credence to the above. He can barely string a full sentence together.

Imagine a weapon like that strapped to a satellite stealthily scrambling brains from above.

A case in point
