First of all, we must admit that the military strength of the United States is still very strong. Why do we say this? Because on the first day of the Iran-Iraq war, Iran lost air and sea dominance, and even airplanes could no longer take off.
However, everyone was surprised that Iran managed to drag the war on for more than a month with its medium and long-range missiles. The biggest fear for the United States is getting caught in a protracted war.
Looking back in history, the United States has failed in Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan, all of which were protracted wars. Why did they fail? We have to look at our strategic guidelines in "On Protracted War"; we must say that the strategic thinking of our predecessors in the Anti-Japanese War was advanced.
All the invaded countries mentioned above used the strategic guidelines from "On Protracted War" to turn the conflict into a long-term confrontation, leading to the ultimate failure of the United States.
This time, although Iran suffered huge losses and Trump talks tough, the outcome is already becoming clear.
Ending the war would have a very positive recovery effect on the global economy. $BNB
