After evacuating bases and hiding military personnel in hotels, which were subsequently bombed, the United States has closed its embassies in Kuwait, Bahrain, Lebanon, Jordan, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

The lack of planning and growing desperation are becoming increasingly evident, with rising oil and gas prices and the collapse of Asian markets.

The solution they’ve found? Escalate the bombings and drag more countries into the conflict, a measure that has so far failed to produce any success.

Increasing the bombings will not bring any victory.

The Soviets dropped more than 2 million bombs on Afghanistan and still lost the war.

The United States dropped over 7.5 million bombs on Vietnam and lost the war.

The U.S. dropped more than 200,000 tons of bombs on Afghanistan, yet the Taliban never won a single major battle, nevertheless, they advanced steadily, forcing the Americans into a desperate withdrawal. The Taliban remains in power to this day.

Studying asymmetric warfare should have been the first lesson before launching this invasion, which was so disastrously mismanaged that it didn’t even anticipate drone interceptors.
