Been telling you/anyone who would listen since at least 2015 that the only way to "win" a war with Iran is to not play.

The idea that this is somehow "surprising" - and man, I've heard that from senior military and foreign policy analysts and officials dozens of times this past month - is objectively an attack on your intelligence.

Iran saw what happened to Iraq's then 4th-largest army in the world and said "nope." The fact that we pretend they'll fight our way changes nothing.

So, you know, nobody should be surprised when retired spooks and babykillers are on your TV saying "Iran is winning this war."

That's not a surprise. Iran prepared to fight a war we simply decided they wouldn't fight, in a way we simply decided they wouldn't do - despite being warned that they would do precisely this, on MULTIPLE occassions.

At some point, no matter how powerful you are, wishes ain't fishes. You can't stop reality from being real. And here we are.
