Dumb Donald and the MAGA morons were lured into a war by the delusion of easy victory from the air

The delusion of easy victory from the air may have seduced the US into another war​

“What they don’t appreciate,” Wheeler said, “is that human nature is unchanging. The technology gets more and more sophisticated and they find that we’re capable of more and more precision but that doesn’t change human nature.” In other words, said Wheeler, people on the ground react in unpredictable ways. Bombing them often builds resistance and solidarity. “Think of the German attacks on the British, did that weaken the British resolve? No. It caused the population to unite,” he said. “Surrender was unthinkable.”

Air superiority is supposed to deliver a quick triumph. But history has shown that promise to be written on the wind

They thought Iran would surrender just because that's what they would have done if we were attacked.

Remember that as our munitions get lower and lower and China/Russia eyes us hungrily...

Is Trump, or the people who are pulling his strings, deliberately working to weaken the United States?

How can we help Ukraine or Taiwan defend themselves if we have run out of munitions?

Sounds more like cray-cray Trumpism to me.

Correct. I told MAGA morons the other day that their laziness and weakness makes them vastly underestimate how other people can endure.

Iran took a body below, endured for 8 years, and sacrificed a million casualties rather than submit to the aggressor Saddam Hussein.
