Iranian drones have existed since 2015 and somehow the US is still not prepared for it

The US isn't capable of anything approaching peer conflict, and these chucklefucks thought they were going to fight China. These are the true believers in American exceptionalism - America is so great it doesn't need things like supply lines or an industrial base!

They're also hampered by neoliberalism and free market ideology. They actually really believe that the best solutions will always come from private industry, so we just need to give them enough room to grow with tax cuts and deregulation. Oops. 🤷‍♀️

The same private industry that off-shored as much manufacturing as possible and pocketed the rest. If people can't see the contradictions of capitalism after the war with Iran, they're just not paying attention.
