      Please expand, as I really dislike the US and would gladly find out more of what you’re talking about

        Iran has been systematically destroying US assets across the region, even mainstream western media is openly reporting on this. These assets took decades to build and cost trillions. They cannot be replaced. The US likely doesn’t even have the skills or the industry that produced a lot of them now.

        Ted Postol, who is an MIT Professor and a former Pentagon advisor, just gave a lengthy interview on the problem with interceptions that I can highly recommend https://youtu.be/gbQI_IYz6uM

        The economics of the war simply don’t work for the US here. Iran is using cheap drones that cost thousands, and the US has to use multiple interceptors for each that cost millions https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/middle-east-crisis-irans-20k-drones-take-on-defences-of-us-worth-4-million/articleshow/129000886.cms

        The logistics for the US are terrible here as well as they have to ship weapons from across the ocean. Iranians are fighting on their home turf. Iran is a huge country, and it has large industry. The US cannot bomb it into submission. You just have to look at Ukraine to see why that’s impossible. Russia has been bombing it for 4 years now, and it’s still there.

        Iran is three times the size. On the other hand, US has fairly limited assets, and Iran absolutely can bomb them into oblivion. And every time the US loses a radar, a weapons depot, or a warehouse, their future logistics get progressively worse. And these problems accumulate.

        Finally, everybody in the region sees this as a war between Iran and US/Israel. After over a year of genocide in Gaza, the sympathies are not with Israel. US backed regimes will have a very hard time going forward if they continue participating on the side of the Epstein coalition. In fact, there was already an uprising in Bahrain, and there will only be more going forward.

          Thanks! I would use other words as “getting demolished”, but you linked some points that I have sparsely read on. Let’s see if Ukranian anti-Shahed know-how will affect the efficacy of Irans bombings, could be interesting

          Since I’m not the one getting bombed, it’s funny how effective Russia and the US have been providing military intelligence to interfere with the other’s war.
