Isn't that more true of us than Xi? We weren't able to prevent Iran from hitting the other states in the Gulf, despite having some of our best equipment in the region - or to keep them from landing hits on some of our bases, which will require considerable funds to repair. We're the major arms supplier to the Gulf, and we are the ones who set up those defenses. And for the hits on the U.S. bases, that's us using our own military equipment to defend our own facilities.This last point just is beyond head scratching. Here's some numbers:

~2,276 ballistic missiles
~481 cruise missiles
~6,295 drones
Let's look at just the UAE. A country of mostly empty space so all the attacks go to the coastal areas. They've absorbed
537 ballistic missiles
26 cruise missiles
2,256 drones
Wow. According to your analysis Abu Dhabi and Dubai must be lying in ruins.
Let's look at Bahrain, a not very big country:
369 Ballistic missiles
845 drones
Lots of big fat targets there given that it houses CENTCOM headquarters and has naval repair facilities. But Bahrain isn't a hole in the Gulf with water rushing in where the island once stood.
Wonder why that is?
