All that’s going to do it get more Kurds killed again some more.

Of course, but getting brown people killed is totally acceptable whereas getting Americans killed looks bad

War Is Expensive for the Little People
Operation Epic Fury will cost billions that could have been put to much better use

On Sunday, according to the U.S. military, Kuwaiti forces shot down three U.S. F-15s in a “friendly fire” incident. Fortunately, the crews were able to safely eject and survived. The sad truth is that such incidents are common in modern war. One of the highest-ranking U.S. officers to die in World War II, General Lesley McNair, was killed in Normandy by U.S. bombs, not the Germans.

The shocking aspect of the story is the value of the equipment destroyed: A new F-15 costs U.S. taxpayers $97 million. So that’s almost $300 million lost in seconds. And we should think about what could have been done with that money other than launch a war without a clear plan or an exit strategy.

There are many reasons to be disturbed by Operation Epic Fury. Donald Trump has taken America to war, not only without Congressional authorization, but without even trying to make a case to the American people. Other than the hope that Iranians will rise up and overthrow the Ayatollahs’ regime, the war has no clear plan for either victory or exit. This strongly suggests that the rush to war was a Trump ego tantrum rather than a carefully planned campaign. And although it would be a great boon to the world if the Iranian people were able to liberate themselves from this evil regime, as with any war there are huge risks of unforeseen consequences, including to the world economy.

One of the reasons to be disturbed by this war is the extraordinary amount of money the U.S. government is either laying out now or will have to lay out in the future to replace the spent munitions.

The modern American way of war is extremely capital-intensive, deploying massive amounts of equipment while putting relatively few people in harm’s way. This has been true ever since World War II, when FDR rejected calls to recruit an immense army and chose instead to fight what Phillips O’Brien calls a “machine-intensive, infantry light war.” That’s a rational approach, given how rich our nation is and how averse it is to casualties. It’s certainly a lot more rational than Pete Hegseth’s talk about “warrior ethos” — are soldiers supposed to flex their biceps at attacking drones?


The other problem is that U.S.-style war is incredibly expensive — so much so that the cost becomes a serious concern even for a nation as wealthy as America.

Linda Bilmes of Harvard’s Kennedy School estimates that Trump’s largely unsuccessful bombing campaign last year against the Iran-backed Islamist Houthis in Yemen — a far softer target than Iran itself — cost between $2.76 billion and $4.95 billion. Operation Midnight Hammer, Trump’s one-day strike against suspected Iranian nuclear facilities, cost between $2.04 billion and $2.26 billion.

I don’t know how you can be world statesmen and make the kind of comments they make. Waiting 40 years? “Thats the way it is” about soldier deaths?

Netanyahu will get what he needs out of Trump. He knows Trump never watched Lawrence of Arabia (and if Trump did make it through the movie, he's too stupid to understand the plot) and doesn't realize it's all a lost cause.

Great idea! I’m sure there are plenty of pro-US democracy-minded militias running around the Middle East. Certainly no chance we’d end up with the next ISIS in charge.

The US is really desperate.trump is dragging us down. Apparently trump called Iraqis and asked them to fight Iran for him. The shamelessness would be hilarious if it wasnt tragic

Really. LOL. What did they say. Trump doesn't know that when Bush invaded Iraq in 2003 and took out Saddam, that puppet was gone.

Well we don’t know. Hopefully they hang up the phone but money talks. I wonder what the military would think when they realize these “proxies” (Isis, nusra) get paid more from the Us government than they do. One of them even got a promotion and is now the president of Syria! A man trump called very handsome! He used to fight US troops and the Syrian government /iran as al qaeda proxy in Syria and he received a hero’s congratulations from Bibi and trump.

Just need to take care of Turkey, Yemen and Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and then Israel will be satisfied. Hopefully, Israel can then accept a "Greater Israel" rather than the "Greatest Israel"

Pakistan has as many nukes as Israel, so that's not happening. I don't think Israel defeats Turkey either, NATO kicks in and it is definitely a WW because it becomes USA and Israel against everybody else. Trump will have to choose between his financial benefactors in Saudi Arabia and his extortionist in Israel. Yemen is SOL.

It now makes sense why Trump wants to dismantle NATO. This is about invading turkey. He’s not a puppet for putin. He’s a puppet for Netanyahu now. The Epstein files must hold some very damaging info about trump-something he cannot recover from like sleeping with Ivanka or something
