4 days into war with Iran and they have the upper hand!

The Us had no defense for Iranian drones and the fact the Trump prepared or unprepared military does not have ammunition on hand!


Absolutely ridiculous that Trump said that Iranian land would be destroyed in a few weeks!

Thanks again GOBers! Your moronic hero is the inept president ever and his moron minions are a disgrace!

They are out manned and out gunned even with our depleted munitions. They have limited capacity to build more weapons quickly, and clearly Israel has infiltrated pretty highly into Iran's government and military.

They don't have the upper hand by an meaningful definition. That said, the attacks are still utterly stupid.

I agree that Iran certainly doesn’t have the upper hand. I’m not even sure what that means. I think they’ve always known if it came down to this, they’d be outgunned and outmanned. Now we have to wait and see what they are willing and capable of doing. Also, I’m no longer sure what our government is willing and capable of doing. I’m not sure it’s to the simple who’s got the upper hand stage yet. It’s easier to create a shipping lane hazard than govern a country where a significant percentage of the population doesn’t trust us at the very least. There are so many things that can happen militarily and economically that I’m going to reserve judgment.

Oh wait, the "elite" sons and daughters don't serve our country in wartime, or for that matter, in peace time.
How many more of my sisters and brothers are going to lose their lives, be injured or suffer from PTSD before Congress, IE, the fucking repukes, rein in this criminal org. in the WH?

I think you can make many, many criticisms of our attack but stating Iran has to upper hand is a wee bit too much. Frankly, I'm not sure how much more of this "upper hand" Iran can take.

And the US performance in the war.
Our inner anger on the justification of the war should absolutely not cloud our understanding of how the war is going.

Iran is militarily getting destroyed. They are not on equal footing and in 4 days have lost most of their ability to operate including losing all air superiority and their larger naval vessels. They’ve killed 6 Americans.

rather than what it actually is. A fairly regular phenomenon, unfortunately.
