It does appear that Iran has made Trump looking like a beggar asking for the help from other nations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. And he is being turned down. So much for NATO. This kinetic action will go down as surpassing the Bay of Pigs for lack of planning and downright stupidity.
Israel will pay a very high price for their hegemony. We shall see the destruction already unleashed on Israel by Iran in the near future. It must be bad if Israel is putting people in prison for releasing pictures or video of the carnage.
The people in the United States have been betrayed by Trump and by Congress. Imagine if we could pass and enforce a law that stated any elected official who took money from a foreign nation would be charged with treason?

And Trump appears to want ANYONE reporting these truths charged with TREASON. LOL. Indeed, the Empire will be destroyed from within.
These interception rates are just pure fiction–as if written by Steven King no less. But the numbers of interceptors being launched and the cost per missile is no lie. What you are seeing is a form of asymmetrical warfare that Iran has been gaming out for at least the last decade–as witnessed by the sheer number of weapons they have been mass producing. And with this last dust-up for 12 days–they gamed out the US and Israeli radar and interceptor tactics to the tee.
I had an afterthought on this… okay, we’re costing Iran billions of dollars in damage. But suppose if we inflict 1 billion dollars of damage upon Iran, but it costs the USA and Israel 10 billion dollars i(or more) n defense and direct missile damage? We already know that is a vast cost difference in the cost of their weapons versus ours (interceptors). How much does it cost to field a carrier battle group per day? How many carrier battle groups are out there now? What is the cost of a round trip for a B1 stealth bomber–and the cost of the weapons they deploy? How many planes have we lost? What if we manage to inflict 50 billion dollars in damage to Iran–at a cost of 1 trillion dollars to the USA? If so–who is really winning? Now it appears that there are no uprisings in Iran. No color revolutions–but just the opposite of people unifying against the USA and Israel. Even if somehow the government changed–do the zipper heads in DC actually think the people of Iran are going to suddenly drop to their knees and lick our boots and invite corporate American into their country to loot them out? Now imagine an all-out conflict between Russia and China… imagine the actual cost of it. And if somehow we managed to win–how would America look afterwards… probably like out of that movie “The Grapes of Wrath” where our populace is plunged into abject poverty for generations. Think about these things.
Like the spouse who gains custody of an assortment of irreverent, willfully ignorant and lazy children (American citizens) who were spoiled by prior parents, Trump is faced with the results of prior administrations. Trump is responsible for his actions but shouldn’t be held totally liable for the condition things are in now. “Games” were held to prepare for Agenda 2020 and Agenda 2030, so why weren’t defense priorities made for such as we are seeing now? I hope Trump will declare victory and get our military home where they are needed to protect the sovereignty of our own nation. If my “neighbors” aren’t willing to pick up their own broomsticks and stand with me against the enemy, then they’re on their own.
