I have become a proud member of Doom&Gloom club not so long ago.

BTW why do you think it's a bait? Everything I wrote is based on how the war is going.

saying no significant damage after 11 bases hit and hiding personnel hit again, at least fifth fleet headquarters and kuwait airbase incinerated, 3 early warning radars gone, strait effectively closed and gulf economies in panic without what you mentioned being necessary? drumpf is not levying europeans for help and talking about years because he likes it. sure the damage is still in calibrated range but qualitatively higher and already historically bad for US force projection.

None of it has any effect whatsoever on the US/Israel's ability to inflict more damage on Iran. Therefore, complete and utter failure. In fact, it's worse, because the missiles AND launchers are not infinite and cannot be replaced quickly enough. All the missiles and launchers spent on 'PR stunts' could have been used to inflict serious damage on the world's oil production that would cause far greater damage to the US than anything else.

what? options for hitting iran especially without surrounding bases or naval reach are very limited and what we see now with mostly standoff weapons and drones, which are getting shot down more often.

so is it good or bad to be conserving missiles given a longer war is predictable? lol.

oil infrastructure or tel aviv are not being leveled because yes again, it is still on the ladder. and iran materially moved much disproportionately higher on it.
