the united states had air dominance in iran for months. iran hasn't had any air defenses since last year. if something is shooting planes down, that something was recently moved into the country from outside of it.

instead of take advantage of that window of air dominance, which was created at some expense (it wasn't free) with the intent to take advantage of it, the president stupidly decided to use it as "leverage" in negotiations. this merely allowed iran time to rebuild it's air defenses.

bombing civilian infrastructure is not what i indicated support for. i indicated support for rapid regime change. even so, that was supposed to happen two weeks ago. what did trump think the iranians were going to do with that two week time window, if not scramble to defend themselves? the stupidity is baffling.

the united states will re-establish air dominance, but it's going to cost them money, time and possibly equipment and lives.

the country needs a better commander in chief that isn't going to continue to squander the positions it wins with it's military in a quixotic mission to sign an agreement, but is going to use the positions it wins to force through what it wants, whether the mullahs are in agreement or not.
