IRAN WAR DISASTER: THE WORLD JUST LEARNED HOW WEAK THE US HAND REALLY IS A 20-year Defense Department veteran who spent a decade on missiles and missile defense just delivered a blunt assessment. This war is a disaster for the United States. Not because of any single battlefield loss,... but because the entire world can now see the real capabilities of the American military—and those capabilities are not impressive at all. THE UNSUSTAINABLE STANDOFF ➡️ The United States will not invade and the other side knows it, forcing every strike from outside the borders. ➡️ Long-range weapons arrive with limited payloads after burning the fuel needed for hundreds of miles—they are not civilization-ending tools. ➡️ A typical destroyer shares 128 cells across many missions; long-range interceptors form only a fraction of that load. ➡️ Multiple interceptors are fired at each threat. After the first ten to fourteen days the sky filled with eight, ten, even twelve interceptors for every single ballistic missile. ➡️ There is no floating resupply ship. Ships must sail to distant bases such as Diego Garcia—nearly a week one way—plus additional days to reload. ➡️ Every expended magazine removes a ship from the fight for roughly two and a half weeks. THE INDUSTRIAL FAILURE ➡️ Modern missile systems are proprietary and highly specialized. ➡️ Factories cannot be converted overnight the way they were in World War II. ➡️ Even with unlimited funding there is no trained workforce ready to surge production. ➡️ Building real capacity would take years under the best conditions. THE STRATEGIC COST ➡️ The highest levels of the uniformed military understood the stockpile problem from the earliest days. ➡️ Resources were shifted away from other regional partners who had spent years and political capital aligning with the United States. ➡️ Those partners discovered the true value of those relationships under pressure. ➡️ The entire region and every watching power now has a clearer picture of American constraints. THE FATAL REVEAL ➡️ Potential adversaries no longer have to guess what the United States can actually do in a real high-intensity fight. ➡️ The previous aura of overwhelming technological superiority has been stripped away. ➡️ Russia, China, and every other power watching now possess hard data on American limits. THE BOTTOM LINE This war is a disaster for the United States precisely because the sheen is gone. Everybody can now see the real capabilities—and they are not impressive at all. The uncertainty that once protected American power has been replaced by cold, measurable limits. #SheenIsOff #IranWarDisaster #USCapabilities #MilitaryLimitsExposed #StockpileReality #DiegoGarcia #StrategicExposure HT: YouTube Tucker Carlson Networkshow more

Iran is re-writing how wars and conflicts develop and how to win: - maximise the use of high quantity, cheap drones to exhaust the other party - use sophisticated missiles for specific targets after the defence is exhausted by cheap drones - hide weapons/supply deep in the mountains, so that the other party can't destroy them Nothing in those elements was unknown to the US. Still it went with a classical approach into the conflict.

yes

Yup. Exposed us for the 'paper tiger' we've become

It was all show and no substance – you can impress people with a ridiculously expensive high-tech instrument, but you can’t win a war with it. Now everyone knows that, even my granny.

100% truth here. Industrial production is fucked on so many levels, if we started today & made it a trillion $ priority we might be getting on our feet in ten years. We're not going to be doing that. It will never happen.

I think it just shows the incompetent leadership of Pete Hegseth. It also shows how monopoly consolidation in the defense contractor agency has driven up prices for weapons to unsustainable levels & it is also creating supply shortages as the industry relies on pricegouging graft

Are you even kidding me? They don't have the slightest CLUE what the US is capable of. (Hint: The US intentionally holds back their best weapons because they don't want the world to know what they have. These are not existential conflicts. These are minor, regional skirmishes.)

ok

Logistics wins wars. The West lacks the logistics or means to win the wars it started against Russia, Iran, or China. The Global South won. Borders will be redrawn. Israel will disappear. Ukraine will lose territory. Taiwan will return to China.

The only thing the US has left is nuclear weapons. And if the US foolishly drops them on a nation, it's over for the empire.

We now see the mad man behind the curtain.

We can destroy the proxies. Take over soh / oman. But trump wont do it. Trump just uses the military for parades on Pennsylvania Avenue. Fighting to protect American interests? Hell no. Trump has to get approval from Pakistan erdogan and Qatar first before any major mil move.

Drop one nuke and the military might is reestablished.

If the US drops a nuke, it will not only have lost, but will have completely destroyed itself.

Hell that’s a stupid thing to says it worked to end the second world war You have to use a real show of force every so often. Nit this plinkering of rockets. What kind of half ass war is that. If you go to war either me I would destroy you in the first 2 days. We have just forgotten how to fight wars and win them. I would have glassed the entire place 40 years ago. We don’t need their oil. Let it be a bit radioactive for a few thousand years

I don’t think you’ve really thought through what the big difference is between then and now.

I was mostly kidding. I am a study of history. I am fast to nuke though that much is true. I should NOT be put in charge.

No. You are wrong. China has spent the last 30 years studying and building weapon systems specifically to counter the US. They know the exact specifications of US weapons. They have been watching via satellite and drones of every US operation for the last 30 years.

Wars often reveal strengths and weaknesses on every side.

That idiot tRump thought Iran 🇮🇷 would be like Venezuela 🇻🇪

This guy doesn't understand at sea replenishment? We have a hundred and ten that can rotate in and out of the military zone with relative ease . That doesn't include the active us merchant marine ships.

The US can only offer nuclear weapons and that would be the "final" for the world. The remaining weapons of the US are running out because of the "rare earths" which China controls 95% by REFINING China controls WORLD PEACE 👍

The red-haired clown no longer has any trump cards, and he never had any brains

Uh oh. He didn’t flatter Trump and Hegseths cluster in the gulf. Off with his he’d

Partly true. Iran spent decades planning to counter the US capabilities. It would take decades for other counties to learn and position themselves to survive a sustained attack from the US. The fear is less, but the US can still bully most other countires out there.

That such an adversary can win a strategic victory as we tend to lose interest, lose domestic popular support and lose the will to commit to a ground war and resulting casualties. Iran has played us like a fiddle - knowing our weaknesses and Trumps pressure points.

Myopic. An armed Iranian populace will overthrow the tyranny. Piss poor planning… it still can work out. Try not to FUCK ANYONE OVER LIKE YOU DID THE KURDS.

The untold story that Russia and China watch: look what women in combat did to the Americans. Yes, it is not only tech that lacks in the military.

What they can do is strike anyone anywhere, kill your entire leadership, your defenses will be useless, you can't see our jets, will fly WW2 era bombers directly over your Capitol. China and Russian systems cannot stop us.

The kinetic part is just one side of the arsenal in this war. The economic war has been played out for 20 plus years. No support from Saudi Arabia, which is the #1 purchaser of US military weapons. The weapons the US used are 90's tech at best.

Plus we the USA hav a retarded president & fools & morons that lead this military now! We lost Iran war cause everyone that was in high military said no it can’t be won or done & they got all fired & let go & replaced them with more fools^-^

Someone had to expose this so-called mighty military of the USA 🇺🇸, I'm glad that it was Iran who exposed it to the world.

The real question though is what advanced tech does the US possess that it has decided not to use? Or, has that advanced tech been seized by contractors that went rogue and are basically forming break away civilizations

What a load of crap. We are fighting with the goal to avoid US losses and minimize civilian deaths.

Fact is that the US- if attacked and if popular sentiment is behind a response ala 9-11 - that we can wipe out any enemy and will have volunteers lining up to fight ( as in early 9-11 response). But people are tired of endless wars without a clear goal or direct threat to USA

My father was a ammunition specialist for 30 years G-14. He said he wouldn’t bother listening to this shit about the US is running low on munitions

Some truth but more deception than reality. The world can see that the US has incredible tactical kinetic capabilities unmatched by any adversary. Thats a fact. But it also sees that if an adversary is willing to incurr damage and batten down the hatches and wait us out...

We are currently being run by a bunch of undisciplined idiots. That is the United States biggest liability right now.

That's what U.S. gets for underestimating Iran's resilience.

Long story short: The emperor was stripped of his clothes... Now the world can see as the emperor is naked... ... but still with the biggest mouth...
