We wasted about 14 billion dollars, at least 8 American lives and hundreds injured, got everyone mad at the US and exposed that our military capabilities, despite trillions spent over the years, are not invincible, for what exactly?

Gosh, thank you Sen. Murphy, for making public statements about our military, its goals, and its capacities. I'm sure that our enemies won't read that and plan accordingly. What an idiot.

There was no disclosure of non-public information in the senators tweets. I mean a bunch if us have been posting the same stuff in this forum.

That doesnt include the cost of tbe destroyed military bases that have been lost.

Cost of this war so far above $50B+

Pretty sure Iran has already figured out Trump has no plan. It’s obvious to anyone who isn’t an idiot.

(1) Nothing he says is a surprise to any of us, including our enemies (who know far more about our limited capacities than they did 2 weeks ago).
(2) I think you are confused about who the idiots are in this scenario.

Iran: We're fighting 9 countries at the same time (along with several NATO countries providing logistics)

Israel: We're full of a bunch of lame POS bullies that can't even win an unfair war when a country actually strikes back

Iran is attacking 9 countries, most of which haven't launched a single thing at Iran. And Iran appears to be getting curb stomped, but for its leaders who are huddled in bunkers making defiant statements.

Iran isn’t getting curb stomped though. Trump looks like a weakling and Hegsdeath and Netanyahu look pathetic begging Kurds and then Iranians to take to the streets and make regime change. Why? We want the war. Why can’t we fight it? Why can’t Israel?

We look crazy to the rest of the world. I’m so embarrassed by this

The Israelis are probably happy that American influence in the Middle East is going to decline as a consequence to this stupid war that they got us in.

Why on earth would this make them happy? America is the only nation that doesn't consider Israel a criminal state.

Israelis hate the US. Seriously go read the Hebrew press. They say one thing in English and another thing in Hebrew.

Exactly, Israel is a parasite that can just find another host if needed.

This is a reasonable explanation of why Israel can benefit from US being dragged into a long unwinnable war

https://www.reddit.com/r/israelexposed/comments/1rk6efn/israels_long_game_deliberately_destroying/

I read this and it is all conjecture. I still don’t see how a weakened America benefits Israel. So what if Americans no longer support Israel. Weakening America makes Israel more vulnerable to its neighbors who could turn hostile at any moment.

Remember that the Gulf states have made a bargain with their people: you don’t get to be Islamists or govern yourselves and we give you safety and good benefits. This calculation could turn at any moment. Their entire governments could become mini Irans at any time. Most likely they will arm themselves after seeing that America can’t protect them.

Will our allies go to Russia now for arms AND oil? Putin must be laughing at Trump’s foolishness

Somehow we have spent trillions of dollars on our military and yet....

(and blaming Biden/Ukraine is a fools game...we were SELLING them expiring armaments that had to be replaced anyhow)

A single Patriot interceptor costs $4 million. Iran has about 80,000 drones that cost about $30,000 each. The math isn't mathing favorably for the US. Drone warfare has changed everything. The fact that the US is running out of interceptors on Day 4 demonstrates once again that Trump/Rubio/Hegseth had zero plan for this war.

Wonder how many days until we’re out of interceptors. It seems like the large majority of Iranian drones and missiles have been taken down so far. What starts happening when almost all of them get through?

Iran is going to keep going after the gulf states. They are already running out of interceptors and the US is refusing to give them more. Those countries have significant pull with Trump and destroying their oil and gas infrastructure will cause worldwide economic damage.

I don't think the US have any more to give. Most were provided to Israel and the others are currently in use. There have been reports to see who would run out first, US/Israel with interceptors or Iran with their drones and missiles.

I’m sure there are many in places like South Korea, Japan, Poland and CONUS to protect against other threats. But the US likely won’t move those to help out the gulf states.

Cannot remove the bolded. To do so provides a clear pathway for North Korea. SMDH

Well look at that…

“The United States has been moving parts of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system from South Korea to the Middle East, the Washington Post reported, citing two officials.”

https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/defense/20260310/us-moving-parts-of-thaad-anti-missile-system-from-s-korea-to-middle-east-report

The system does not work very well.

It works extremely well. But it costs a ton.

No it doesn’t. It’s a fraud. Billions spent for something that is lucky to get 25% hit rate on dumb ballistic missiles with no counter measures.

Interesting you provided no source for your assertions

Trump really has less and less options. Iran can hit oil infrastructure and desalination plants in the gulf states. This would wreck the gulf states and drive oil over $150 for many years. What will we do after that?

Iran is not going anywhere. Israel and Trump really f’ed this up.
