Sadly, as foolish as this war is, it's beginning to look like Iran is playing 3 dimensional chess to Trump's tiddly winks. Each ~$30K drone uses up 3 Patriot missiles on average. Soon many more targets in the Gulf and Israel will be open to Iran's better missiles, because the Patriot and THAAD systems will be fresh out of "ammo". It is increasingly clear Trump did not expect Iran to behave as it has been. Trump likely thought Iran would cave after a big blast or two. 100% guarantee Trump did not think Iran could halt crude and gas passage through the Strait, despite the fact the intel community would have told him that was a certainty. Similarly, Trump did not think Iran would hit GCC Gas and oil production facilities, or even tourist sites in the Gulf...again, despite the fact the IC would have told him that was likely. Last year Trump had Gabbard fire Mike Collins, who was the IC's Iran expert. Collins would have told Trump how Iran would react if attacked and how Iran might prosecute a war, but in MAGAstan, who needs expertise when you have hunches and gut feel based on nothing but delusions of grandeur. I hope Iran does not have better weapons in reserve, but their behavior so far suggests they had a plan, and Trump and Netanyahu are about to see what that plan is. Better Trump admits he blew it, try to go to the negotiating table again, and please....no boots on the ground. No patriots need to die for Trump's errors and idiocy. Really really dumb to carry out policy based on hunches, especially when one is a moron, as Trump shows every day he is.
