I'm no great shakes as a military historian, but as far as I can see, the examples of winning the support of a nation's people by dropping explosive ordnance on them are few and far between. Usually, it works the other way.
We're not making friends by trying to change the Iranian regime from the outside. You can bet your next paycheck that a very large majority of Iranians remember the last time we did that. But Trump and his people don't know any of that history, because they are fundamentally unserious people, if not downright stupid. (Kegsbreath being in the latter camp.)
And so, Mister Peace President has gotten us into another dumb war. Just like Chimpy did.
Meanwhile, with his penchant for bombing shit, one should start wondering about our stockpile of weapons. Production of Tomahawks almost stopped under Trump 1.0. Last time I checked, the production rate was fifty a year. There are discussions about ramping that up twenty-fold, but good luck with that.
If we get into a serious fight with China, we're going to be screwed.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
And it's using up our lovely expensive slow to replace magically precise smat weapons. Hope we don't need them somewhere else.

LOL ~ we're already running out of ammo ...
ReplyDeleteLack of quantity has a quality all its own. Of course, the whole dreary business of war is a disaster, but it distracts from Epstein.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, you wonder why you got out of bed.
Hat’s why some of us are calling it Operation Frequent Epstein.
