The Iran war is like COVID Part Deux: an absolute bonfire of stupidity. It isn't just the case that American leadership—especially Trump and his SecDef—made avoidable mistakes. It's that they steered into their screwups. I mean, it's one thing to lose military capability because you decided not to consult your allies. It's another thing to spend fourteen months antagonizing and threatening your allies and then demand that they help you, after failing to consult them and enlist their help ahead of time.

Someday military academies will teach Trump's Glorious Iran War as a case study in armed incompetence. Every consideration-from the strategic, to the economic, to the logistical, to the political-was cocked up from the start in the most obvious and stupid ways imaginable. Your average Warhammer nerd could have managed the operation more competently

Then again, Americans watched Trump's handling of COVID—"if we didn't do any testing, we would have very few cases"—and still decided to give him control of the country again. So what else did they expect?
