CYA!
Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

The bomb/missile that they used was interesting. No explosive. Instead it deploys 6 large blades and it basically lands on you, to crush the target and ginzu it nicely.

Really? It almost sounds like a futuristic movie from the past.
Do you have a link on the type of device that was used? I tried to Google it, but all it says it was a drone strike.

They've used that weapon before. It was suspected it was used to assassinate Iranian General Qassim Suleimani at Baghdad airport in 2020.
The six-blade 'Ninja missile' used to mince terrorists: CIA deployed two R9X Hellfires to shred Al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri - just one month after they were used to wipe out ISIS leader in Syria

I would think just getting hit by it would be enough.

Combined with a very smart missile with a camera in it's nose, yeah. Looks like a bullseye:

I'm waiting for the day when they use small mechanical/electronic insects to kill (nanoweapons). https://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/17/mini-nu ... rfare.html
