The US is not equipped to fight a long war, certainly not against fortress Iran. In the face of a looming economic crisis, brought about by a shortage of oil, the only wise option would be to agree to Iranian terms. The problem in Washington is that it's under the control of Israel First neocons who want war at almost any cost. Everyone is expendable to these people. The only good thing is that the whole world can see what's going on, which puts pressure on the belligerent party to back off.
The lesson from the war against Iran, and also Ukraine, is that things have devolved towards static war, where movement on the battlefield has largely been stopped via the use of drones. Things are more like World War I where defence rules over maneuverer.
A few days ago the Russians signalled that they are now prepared to expand their actions to more directly target other European countries. Colonel Macgregor points out that the West is unprepared for such a confrontation where there are no counters to Russian drone and ballistic missile attacks.
