Feel like you are being gaslighted bigtime ?
all the public warnings of our generals had been entirely correct. We’d apparently burned through our available supply of stand-off munitions and thus had gotten ourselves into a serious fix.
Although rather elderly and slow, the Tomahawk cruise missiles constitute the bulk of that arsenal, and in just the first four days of combat we’d already expended some 10% of our entire stockpile, representing an astonishing eight years of new production. Indeed, according to some other estimates I later heard, we’d actually now fired off something closer to 20% of our entire global Tomahawk inventory. So in some sense, America was undergoing something approaching involuntary unilateral disarmament as a consequence of our needless Iran War.
Meanwhile, the Iranians were successfully holding out, destroying all our military bases in the Gulf States and bombarding Israel, leaving us fewer and fewer options for achieving any sort of military victory.
Indeed, Weichert seemed quite concerned that there might be growing pressure on Trump or on the Israelis to use nuclear weapons as their only hope of achieving a military victory. This would be the first and only use of nuclear arms on the battlefield since Hiroshima and Nagasaki more than eighty years ago, and would obviously take the entire world in a very dark and dangerous direction.
The next day, a well-regarded military affairs blogger calling himself Simplicius revealed that the Iranians had effectively blinded our forces by destroying most of our strategic radars in the region. These ultra-high-end radar systems had a price-tag of around a billion dollars each and we could only build one or two per year. Yet in just the first few days, Iranian drone attacks had destroyed near half of our entire global inventory:
