As we saw Russia's build up in Europe. The world can clearly see the United State's next moves.
I wonder if anyone will assist Iran? Iraq sort of owes them. But this is hardly a fight anyone wants, or is prepared for.
Would take a lot of resources, and drones, to impact US military operations.
But then rebels in Yemen could do it....

China to the extent it can.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. And what US/Israeli plans to sabotage or deal with this would look like.

The reported deployment of China’s long-range YLC-8B anti-stealth radar in Iran signals a strategic shift in Middle Eastern air defense architecture, directly challenging U.S. and Israeli reliance on fifth-generation stealth aircraft and reshaping regional deterrence dynamics...

To this very minute and second it never ceases to amaze me how the total resources of the Republican party has been thrown behind propping up their Orange Menace despite how suicidal it is to the party's existence. Those oligarchs that own and operate that juggernaut must clearly be set on having this chance of an autocratic/plutocratic/Christo fascist takeover of the nation not slip by. Their MAGAts being stuck on stupid sacrificing their own needs for the benefit of the ultra wealthy is as startling as how race and religion have been successfully exploited to divide and conquer the wage earning stiffs of America.

These people who weaponized their wealth and influence against the proletariat masses have been exploiting Trump as a useful distraction and he did not disappoint. To the contrary, he's delivered a world class performance. The only people who are suffering under this class warfare campaign that employs chaos and mind numbing repetition of its' use are the working class stiffs of America while the aristocrat class keep getting wealthier by every minute that Trump keeps focus on himself and his nation crippling antics.
 
They’ve moved so many assets that it’s hard to imagine they don’t pull the trigger. The actual goals here are pretty uh vaguely defined. Even if you somehow bombed your way to a free and democratic Iran they’re probably going to be nuclear armed and still not like us.

Strategic thinking isn't exactly their strong suit.

We already seemed to be facing that problem in how we procured resources and planned for future conflicts, and this administration has made sure we took any strategy that may have existed and squashed it into little bits of nothing and scattered that all over the entire foreign policy complex.

Does not the US experience in Iraq and Afghanistan suggest that even if you topple a regime, whatever pops up to replace it will likely not be friendly to the US?

If anything, the US experience in Iraq and Afghanistan shows that the American public lacks the appetite for large-causualty conflict and the resources required to build up a nation in the aftermath. Importantly, this also limits the military's ability to carry out certain operations and leads to these long, low-burn conflicts with no exit strategy. As apolitical as the military wants to be, politics will come for them regardless.

This suggests we are capable or interested in learning from experience. The country who thought it would be a good idea to make Trump President again and is now becoming historically pissed off about it.
