US is Running Out of Ammo Against Iran

Posted on by Lone Candle

The US, Gulf states, and Israel are quickly running out of missile and drone interceptors.

The US also used over 25% of their long-range Tomahawks, possibly 45% of their JASSMs, and over 25% of their ATACMS.

By mid-May, the US could be out of many of these weapons.

The US has failed to build sufficient manufacturing capability. It will take many years to replace these munitions.

The US will have to use dumber bombs and take more hits on the defense if the war goes on.

Trump Sinks Deeper Into a War He Can’t Win

Posted on by Lone Candle

Multiple times, Trump has drawn a red line about attacking Iran’s energy facilities, and then backed off. Iran has been calling Trump’s bluff. Both economically and militarily, Trump likes to push around countries not willing to stand up to the US. But, when countries do, Trump gets his ass kicked. China won the trade war. Iran is winning this war. Trump is a classic bully who only wins when the victim doesn’t fight back.

Iranian pragmatic officials are being replaced with hardliners.

Trump’s choice may be: accept the L, or massively escalate.
