No, Mr. President, we are not in great shape.
He does not understand the first thing about national power, nor does he understand the fundamentals of combat. Above all, he doesn’t understand that there are people who when pressed against the wall, will push back and resist.
While the US has genuinely destroyed a great many things in Iran, the president seems unaware that for 20 years prior to this conflict, they had prepared underground facilities that were stocked with weapons, ammunition, supplies, and the ability to sustain for long periods of time.
The president is going to find out, the hard way, that the Iranian people are able to endure much suffering and still retain the ability to harm our interest in the region. This war is not close to being over, we are not in good shape.
