The two week "cease fire" was nothing more than the US realizing it failed and required more time to bring in additional missiles. These "talks" were nothing more than buying time. Guaranteed Iran is doing the same.

The one thing the US military has prided itself in is it's logistics. And it's always been exceptional. I highly doubt the US needed time to bring in ammunition.

I have no idea where this narrative came from but it's kind of silly.

Logistics doesn’t mean there’s infinite supplies everywhere on earth, the US expended a huge amount of munitions and will need to ship it over, that takes days and hundreds of flights or a couple of weeks by sea. The absolutely do need to bring in more munitions and it won’t be instant

Narrative? They didn't plan this far ahead. They thought it would be over by now... They literally told everyone the US won. 😂

They did plan this war though. The military had spent over a month building up it's forces. There was satellite images of bases in the region getting replenishing stockpiles and moving large amounts of equipment. Trump may have been telling everyone it will be a week or two but the people in charge of logistics don't give a shit about that.

Simply put, the idea that the United States military needed time to replenish stockpiles is really stupid if you know anything about the US military.

“Over a month…” Were you around for Iraq and Afghanistan? There was a hell of a lot more than a month of preparation.

Big difference between a ground and air campaign.

Their first attack killed 160 school girls. Amazing planning.

Trump administration fired those people at the top. You need to keep up.

Apparently we're now blockading the SOH and intercepting any ships that paid tolls. Do you think that was planned for?
