Empire stands no chance of winning this war! Zero!
Defensive systems and armaments, in the Gulf Region, aboard Naval vessels, and in Israel and as we saw with Cyprus, beyond–are incapable of keeping up pace with Iran’s missile inventory.
We are told that Iran’s defenses have been not simply compromised, but actually all but destroyed, yet we have not seen an escalation of the offensive to lend any credence to that claim. And, on the contrary, Iran continues firing at will, which of course also refutes that claim as yet another lie.
For every drone that Iran launches, they spend $30k-$50k. Meanwhile, for every Patriot and Tomahawk missile, the US taxpayer pays millions, and tens of millions.
Despite the propaganda fueled lie that Iran is not simply a divided country, but a country held hostage, we see millions upon millions of Iranians mourning their martyred leaders and daughters, and supporting the current government. In terms of unity, which country is more unified, and more committed to this war? The Americans sitting at home watching it all unfold on our screens, more than half of whom despise this administration, or the Iranians who are fighting for a land and a culture that has defined who they are for thousands of years?
Within this context, which side has the greater resolve, capacity, and potential to sustain this war the longest? This, especially given Iran’s independence in terms of energy production, a currency not tied to the dollar, and defense industry/weapons manufacturing.
My prediction in this war of attrition is that it will be over within a year, and that Iran will emerge victorious, government still intact, with greater unity and national pride than ever. That is. Barring the entry of other actors, which would of course change everything.
