US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

ADM Cooper confirms:

- Iran no longer has the ability to fund and resupply its proxies in the region
- are years away from reconstituting its drone and missile forces
- a generation away from rebuilding their navy
 
- Aircraft losses were minimal, even smaller than during the first Gulf War.
- Stockpiles are being replenished with huge investments and production capacity expansion in the most critical munitions portfolio.
- Iran inflicted $5B in base infrastructure damage which is pennies for the US. Of the 200+ successful strikes on US bases, more than half of those were on evacuated bases in Kuwait and Bahrain and Iranian fires had almost no effect on US or Israeli operational tempo.
Let's not overlook some of the targets included equipment that is in short supply and not easily / quickly replaced.
 
FWIW, Pakistan is still on my bucket list. Mrs. AZ isn't keen on the idea. However, I remind her of the really unsavory places I've been. Like Atlanta, Chicago, Compton, Newark........

Ah I see! ! I’ve shown several great videos to my friends and they realize it better now.

Feel free to forward these videos to her below:

Looking at the output of the meetings in China, it is obvious that China is not going to bail out Trump from his quagmire in the Iran-USA/Israel war.

So - next move for the President of the USA, Netanyahu and also Donald Trump for this war.
 
Goes against everything some people wish to believe.

Well, he himself says "IF I am right". We shall see. It ain't over till the fat lady sings.

Either way, Iran is going to come out of this with major changes, whether as a regional hegemon, or a greatly compliant regime remains to be seen. It is not just USA, but just about all the other countries in the region - and even beyond - that are staunchly opposed to the former outcome, for a variety of their own reasons.
 
The Chinese President agreed to all of Trump's requests

1-Not allowing Iran to possess nuclear weapons
2-Buying more American oil and gas
3-Buying 200 planes from Boeing
4-Supporting industry in America
5-Agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz
6-Rejecting Iranian military actions in the Strait

Xi Jinping left the planet with its mouth hanging open. At a banquet with only 47 guests, the Chinese president looked at Trump and let loose without a filter: “Trump is making America great again.” Yes, you read that right. The leader of the Chinese Communist Party recited the MAGA slogan in public. Trump converted Xi to MAGA. Xi continued with an epic speech: “On the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States, the more than 300 million Americans are revitalizing the spirit of patriotism, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and ushering in a new chapter in the history of the nation.” And he wrapped it up: “The peoples of China and the United States are two great peoples. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand. We can help each other succeed and bring prosperity to the whole world.”
