SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: President Trump on Iran: "They are being decimated. They are talking, we are talking now. They want to make a deal."

I’m just being honest here: this has vibes of Hitler in the bunker at the end of the WW2, totally disconnected from reality on the battlefield. Scary version: Trump believes what he’s saying here. It doesn’t take much analysis of the actual battlefield, sifting through the words used by all the sides, to see that the Strait remains closed, and fully in Iranian control. We are not winning this war, Iran is being heavily bombed, but not being decimated. They retain a viable missile force, their government remains in control, they still have effective control of the Persian Gulf, and their proxies are still viable. Meanwhile, we are running dangerously low of standoff weapons and interceptor missiles, possibly mere weeks left at current rates of expenditure. We literally don’t have the bombs to destroy the country, but we are leaving ourselves incredibly vulnerable in the vane attempt. God help us all if President Trump gives the order to deepen our strategic disaster by introducing ground forces into the war.
