The Iran War: Who will win?

To invoke theory for a moment; wars are fundamentally contests of national willpower backed by capability, directed by strategy. Achieving victory requires the victor to overcome the enemyโ€™s resistance. The side that manages the combination of resources & willpower while imposing its political objectives usually wins.

While there is no single factor, victory is the outcome of multiple interlocking advantages that compound over time.

History shows no magic bullet; even overwhelming superiority in one area can be negated by failure in others (think Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanistan, even Korea). All to say, the war with Iran does not equate to WWII conditions.

What determines victory?

Police said Sunday that they arrested 21 people suspected of trying to bring a sacrificial goat up to the Temple Mount in Jerusalemโ€™s Old City on Friday.

While the temples have not existed and Jews have not performed such sacrifices for nearly 2,000 years, small groups ascend the mount perennially to try to revive the ritual, without success. https://www.timesofisrael.com/21-arrested-for-trying-to-sacrifice-a-baby-goat-on-the-temple-mount/

BREAKING:

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Saudi Arabia and Kuwait suddenly โ€œchanged their mindsโ€ and will allow Trump to restart โ€œProject Freedomโ€, per WSJ

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have reversed their decision to restrict the US military's use of their bases and airspace for "Project Freedom,"

Earlier this week, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait reportedly blocked the US from using their bases and airspace for military operations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz

Now that the decision has been reversed, President Trump is looking to "restart" Project Freedom

The US will try to use a large fleet of aircraft to protect commercial ships, making Saudi and Kuwaiti bases and airspace critical to its execution
