The US military is not ready for drone warfare. Iran will post videos of Americans’ faces before being exploded by drones. Iran has been training in FPV drone warfare and gets advice from Russia who has been fighting in an FPV drone war.
The US is already taking equipment and personnel losses from drones. The US has mostly abandoned bases near Iran because it can’t defend them. If the US goes in close, they will be swarmed.
Germany, Japan, and Iran are great societies. But, after Germany and Japan were taken over by barbaric regimes, bringing them back into the civilized world required burning those countries to the ground. The same might be required for Iran.
US bases in Iraq are getting hit by FPV drones. At least a radar and helicopter have been destroyed. The US does not seem prepared for this advancement in warfare. If the US sends ground troops to Iran, a lot of them will be killed by FPV drones. These are short range, cheap drones, that can be used as suicide drones or to drop explosives.
The Ukraine-Russia war has shown that this is a new factor in warfare, and the US doesn’t seem to have adapted fast enough.
America’s rolling thunder of destroying things from the air is not convincing the Iranian regime to budge or the Iranian people to rise up.
The South left the Union in order to defend slavery and racial supremacy. The Southerners believed it was a scientific truth of the world that blacks were inferior and should be subservient. They didn’t lose these beliefs the moment they lost the war. After the Civil War, White Southerns responded to the loss by organizing in order to persecute, murder, beat, and instill fear in, blacks, in order to keep them down and maintain racial supremacy. White Southerners maintained white supremacy through terrorism.
The Klu Klux Klan, the KKK, started as a kind of social club, almost like a college fraternity. They made up silly-sounding titles and wore fun costumes. The people in it were racists, but they didn’t set up the organization to do racist things.
The Klan became a political organization when members perceived the North’s rule as too aggressive in potentially arming blacks in state militias and giving them the ability to vote.
