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!

(1,659 posts)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.

(562 posts)I agree that Iran certainly doesnt have the upper hand. Im not even sure what that means. I think theyve always known if it came down to this, theyd be outgunned and outmanned. Now we have to wait and see what they are willing and capable of doing. Also, Im no longer sure what our government is willing and capable of doing. Im not sure its to the simple whos got the upper hand stage yet. Its easier to create a shipping lane hazard than govern a country where a significant percentage of the population doesnt trust us at the very least. There are so many things that can happen militarily and economically that Im going to reserve judgment.

(771 posts)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.

(1,399 posts)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. Theyve killed 6 Americans.
