It feels like Iran is exposing the traditional US military as a bit of a paper tiger unless you count nukes. I’m sure I’m at least kinda wrong, but that’s the vibe I’m getting
US seemingly watched russia get rekt by ukrainian drones and decided they'd like a punch in the face as well. But who am I to judge those masochistic tendencies.
I think the last year of officer purges also has something to do with.
They didn't stop with the officers. They also purged a ton of their most competent enlisted personnel.
This is the first time the US actually tried to fight a technologically advanced army since WW2, and the results are frankly embarrassing.
Significant strike. Each one of these that bite the dust means 5-10 less planes raining bombs on Tehran. Iran has excellent targeting prioritization, much better than going after schoolchildren.
You can really tell they've planned this out. They took out all the early warning systems in the first days, and now they're hunting these high value targets.
Russia is also coaching them and providing live target info.
I love that for them.
they do have a lot of experience with US tactics over the past for years they can pass on
And LOL at the western hypocrites crying about it.
They can train, arm, fund and send 'advisors' to the ukro's but Russia giving some satellite info is bad.
Well when you're up against ZERO FUCKING PLAN being enacted by the world's dumbest and most arrogant leader on your own home turf... It's kind of hard to lose, I imagine.
The habit of a lifetime for yankee pedo in chief.
They also hit a radar and two blackhawks with drones. And the best part part is, the radar taken out was a short range radar that was supposed to be used to track drones.
And you can see the bases are now completely abandoned too with the drones flying through them uncontested.
I am not asking for much, I just want to see the US defeated in West Asia and elsewhere around the world.
The US doesn’t make war to win or lose. It makes war in order to fund the weapons’ industry’s oligarchs with unlimited public money
While that is absolutely the case, the problem they have here is that they don't control escalatory dominance. Typically, the US can dial things up or down as convenient, and if things get too spicy they can leave without any consequence. But here, Iran controls a choke point of the global economy, and leaving would have disastrous geopolitical consequences for the US. If they're forced to abandon all their vassals in the Gulf, then their image as a world power collapses overnight. How can Europe, occupied Korea, or Japan credibly think that the US will defend them at that point?
It's ok, they couldn't afford the fuel anyway
China will be capturing a lot of this data.
The odds are that they provided the intel; since it's thanks to Chinese satellites that we visually can confirm the hits. American companies have blacked out all sat pictures coming out of the middle East and Israel. Something, something about freedom of information.
It isn't about the size of the dog, it is the fight in it. The Iranian chihuahua has a death grip on the neck of the American doberman.
