> struggling against Iran

Idk what to tell you, but any target that seems to get marked in Iran blows the fuck up.

> couldn't outproduce Russia on the battlefield

??? What does this even mean?

It's not like the US is in a wartime economy.

I’m sure that is true. And yet, the oil is not flowing. We keep “winning” like this for a few more weeks/months and we lose. Not because we sudenly stop “blowing targets the fuck up”, but because we cripple our economies.

The flowing of oil is not of primary importance to the US in this conflict. The oil was already flowing. So I think we can reasonably rule that out as an objective.

It is not like Iran is hurting the US mainland kinetically. > The oil was already flowing. So I think we can reasonably rule that out as an objective. Sometimes you have a thing and you don’t appreciate how important it is for you until you don’t have it anymore.

The comment was alluding to impotent tactical prowess, which is... silly, to say the least.

This whole thing is extremely stupid, yes.
