Biggest blunder of the 21st century, to have incompetent kleptocrats in charge of the national defense. “Wars are not won by firepower, but by logistics.” The Iranians are well aware of what two-dozen targets to disable to cripple US supply lines. In the meantime the bozos in Washington are asking Grok to classify whether a potential target is a school or a weapons depot. What did we accomplish, firing off every last cruise missile like it’s the 4th of July?
We don’t even have the tooling to resupply thanks to cronyism in contracting, eg half a billie spent on robot arms that keep setting themselves on fire [0]. We’ve outsourced everything but behave as if we have unlimited resources, not to mention diesel and jet fuel. At least we keep some of that in strategic reserve ;)
But as far as how all these wars are evolving I have my fingers crossed it’s eco-solar punk-terrorists that figured out how to goad the worlds superpowers into destroying each others gas refineries and data centers.
