How to win a war. - During WW2 allied forces realised that the Nazi-regime could not be eliminated by massive bombardment alone. - Vietnam war: The most massive Air-Strikes in history. 500.000 US troops on the gound, but the South Vietnamese "boots on the ground" were never really sure why they should shoot at their northern countrymen. And today? Once more, aireal supremacy should "win a war". A highly flawed and expensive project that has not worked in the past. To "take out" the true rulers of Iran (the revolutiony guards) it would take "boots on the ground". The closer the mid-term elections come, eventually Donald will declare "victory" and pull out, leaving an impoverished country behind, while the "revolutionary guuards" remain in power as before. (The real rulers of the coutry, never mind the Mullahs). Them resuming their "nuclear ambitions" as before. A bit delayed maybe as the only result. 5 years at the most. After that, all over again, granted that the US electorate agrees and is willing to pay for it to "subdue" future Iranian "nuclear visions". An eternal 5 year cycle evolving. "Air power" alone not changing anything.
