Yeah just glaze right over "not all of them are operational and not all of them can be deployed there" and still persist in framing things as if it's 5 out of 800 because you're VERY smart

the claim that the U.S. is losing significant assets feels like a stretch, especially given the first point

Hey chat how many THAAD systems are there and is it a good sign if they had to dismantle the one in south Korea to rush in a replacement

The cost of the Iran war TO THE US ALONE, and NOT including the literal trillions that will be lost worldwide due to the 30-40% of Gulf oil infrastructure that's been blown up, could already pay to permanently end homelessness in America

Weird how Iran has burnt enough american money that it could have ended homelessness and yet here you are, engaging us with your full powers as a Reddit debarebro

I could respond point by point, but the tone you’re bringing isn’t about understanding, it’s about winning.

I don’t do debates where anger replaces reasoning.

Neither you nor anyone else "does debate" ever. This isn't high school. There are no rules of order and there aren't going to be. Obnoxious pedants like yourself reframe arguments you get in as debates so that when you lose you can gesture at some moderator that isn't there or rulebook only you respect to indicate that the time for argument has passed
