[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The military operation has been impressive. But the operation has been a strategic defeat, because it’s being headed by incompetents in the White House who don’t have a justification, objective, endgame or plan for the war.

All Trump has managed to do is install an even more hardline Iranian leader, convince the Iranians that nuclear weapons are needed to protect their regime, tank the global economy, provoke regional escalation, and alienate Gulf allies who are being attacked because of this operation.

The military operation is always impressive the first few week on American TV just like Iraq when Bush declared mission accomplished.

Yes, hitting a few targets with bombs isn't that hard.  Actual change to a country is very hard.[/quote]

Yes, but that's not a military problem. That is a political problem. The US military is doing exactly what's asked of them. And with the exception of that unfortunate strike on a girls school, it is fulfilling its mission with extraordinary skill and professionalism. But that cannot replace the absolute stupidity of Trump and Hegseth for defying all advice and launching a war that does not have an easy political solution. The miltary knows all the risks. But it cannot do anything to save Republicans from their strategic idiocy. [/quote]
