  I disagree, you're seeing the future of modern warfare defeat the quagmire-for-profit as strategy. Decentralization, drone mass-production (which Iranians codified), usage of missiles to disassemble military infrastructure and the electrical grid, long range land-to-ship combat making aircraft carriers obsolete (okay not obsolete but future ones are going to be unrecognizable to most people, I really ought to post on here completely slipped my mind), the puncturing of the advertising claims made about air defence with saturation and hypersonics + degradation of its rare earth supply chain. Ukraine lost so many electrical transformers this way that the US production lines ran into difficulty meeting the needs of repairs at home and abroad, and by the way, disabling small-scale stuff is meant to avoid denying people fresh water. Hit power generation and you're out of the game for good. Iran is aiming to destabilize banking and insurance. USA was aiming for a "short war" or I guess special combat op now iirc Coming to terms with how little I understand the need of capital to produce these psychotic decisionmakers & internal Washington politics tbqh, got too focused abroad *I forgot tunnels. What the hell is wrong with me. Go ahead get in folks 🕳️
