Why US likely losing war on Iran

Walt Zlotow West Suburban Peace Coalition Glen Ellyn IL 21 March 26

Iran has destroyed 10 advanced US radar systems that are crucial for identifying and destroying incoming Iranian missiles and drones. Three major bases lost their radar to Iranian missiles as well as radar protecting the US embassy in Baghdad. So desperate is the US for critical radar, they’ve scooped up high tech radars from South Korea to fill the breach. South Korea is not happy. Without sufficient radar, US bases, Gulf States oil facilities, US ships, and especially Israel become blind to thousands of Iranian missiles and drones.

US bases have been hit at least 25 times, but US censorship of damage hides this this unfolding disaster from the US public.

Knowledgeable observers believe the US will run out of missiles and drone interceptors before Iran runs out of offensive weaponry. They also believe the US likely has less than month of weaponry to continue round the clock bombing. US bases, Gulf States oil facilities and Israeli military and civilian infrastructure all geographically compact making them easily accessible to attack. Iran smartly spread their tens of thousands of missiles and drones thruout Iran’s 676,000 square miles, forcing Trump and Netanyahu to play ‘Whack a Mole.’

Trump’s colossal failure to collapse the Iranian regime shouldn’t surprise since Trump’s single victory plan was for the Iranian people to overthrow their Islamic regime within a few days after Trump assassinated supreme leader the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. That was stupid on steroids. Iran’s 90 million beleaguered souls rallied round their government determined to fight to the death rather than surrender to monstrous attackers US and Israel.

Bombing alone almost never wins a war, something true thruout the century long history of aerial bombing. Now Trump cannot tolerate a long war of attrition because he’s put the world into a possible economic death spiral by near totally disrupting flow of precious Middle East oil. That’s why he’s secretly seeking an off ramp from military, economic and political catastrophe. Having insulted and disparaged nearly every country on earth, he finds himself without an ally except his partner in criminal war Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Of course, Trump could miraculously pull out victory from the jaws of defeat closing in on him. But with Iranian missiles and drones raining down on mostly defenseless US bases and oil infrastructure in the Gulf States, and giving Israel a taste of the massive destruction they visited on Gaza…the smart money is on Iran.
