I don’t think you have enough bombs. The US is kinda huge…
it’s a little worrisome that it appears that dumbass may have caused the country to “show it’s hand” in regards to it’s ability to project power, defend itself, and wage an offensive war. 20-something years ago when they pulled the same shit on Iraq they were effectively in Baghdad by dinnertime because they still had so much stuff still working from previous wars like F-14s and Iowa class battleships, not to mention lots of very current ordnance and the help of lots of other countries.
On their own (Israel doesn’t count, it’s basically a US military outpost), against a much more technologically capable and well-armed adversary, there’s lots of cracks that are starting to show some daylight through them.
Doesn’t mean that they’re not a formidable force, but definitely not what they were in the gulf war/desert storm era.
Despite spending an absolutely gobsmacking amount of money every year.
You never know, unless you try.
