    It’s actually pretty interesting. The US is a paper tiger. It can’t handle a prolonged war against a middle power like Iran. Even though it’s supposed to be a super power. We’ve also found out that most of their heavy weapons aren’t even suitable outside of the middle east. They weigh too much and get stuck in mud. (happened in Ukraine). They can attack effectively from the sea and that’s it. Every actual general has probably poured over the data from Ukraine, and Iran. I, a casual armchair payer of attention, can see this. The pro’s probably have all sorts of plans now. I’m curious how much the US military leadership is shitting their pants right now. The conflict with Iran lasted 12 days. How could they last a month?

      Exactly, the US built up a whole mythology around their military might, and this worked great until they made a mistake of actually putting it to the test.

      Even that is getting into question by their performance against Yemen and that they didn’t even tried against Iran.
