    USA is learning this in Iran, but they are on the other side of the world so they can take the L and move on.

    Idk if the US gets to walk away from this. How many military bases in the region are still standing? What’s the timeline for replacing all those lost F-15s and C-130s?

    We’re not seeing a war in downtown Cincinnati. But the US empire is going to be fundamentally changed from it’s “Push Libya’s shit in because we can” Obama Era recent past.

      Empire is crumbling right before our eyes. Well, people voted for it. But it doesn’t threaten shaheds to fly daily over states. Not instantly, at least.

      And the same can’t be said about EU, sending shaheds from Belarus = pretty much the whole Europe is in range.
