Ukraine learnt very quickly not to use patriot missiles against drones. The US military clearly has not in the middle east. It has wasted many patriot and tomahawk missiles. Why is this? My guess is two reasons.
- Hegeth sacking various top military leaders
- The US political disdain for Ukraine. They simply do not believe there is anything to learn from that war.
It is immediately apparent that the problem is the political leadership at the Defence department. Hesgeth has been an out and out failure. He clearly does not have a strategic brain in his body. It was his job to advise Trump of the possible problems and he did not.
He attempted a shock and awe effort to beat Iran and it backfired badly. Iran is clearly the big country in the middle east. US allies nol onger are relying on the US for protection they are turning to Ukraine who successfully use drones against drones. They also do not want any escalation as they believe Iran could destroy a large part of their industry.
Another thing I thin a lot of people are missing is that both Russia and China would be egging Iran on (not that it would take much egging) to take a hard line thereby using a lot more missiles.
It is hard to see any settlement until after the mid-terms. This is merely a jimmy carter redux.
It is hard to see any peace in Ukraine simply because Putin cannot afford one politically. It is victory or death. Yet he cannot win but he lives on in hope. Think about this. Ukraine produce a lot more drones than Russia and use them much more strategically. They also recognise Putin's bluster now for for what it is.
Can I add I hope Ukraine do not fall for the Hitler gambit. He had the UK on its knees and then changed the bombing to london. Russia is deliberately targeting Ukraine's population. Ukraine should not attempt this but continue its present destruction of russian industry particularly oil. It is paying off bigtime.
