Iran may have outsmarted USA in war strategy.

It looks like Iran has outsmarted the US in war strategy. This is not, however, a moral high ground. That's a different measure. In this war, there really is no moral high ground.

In war strategy, Iran has cleverly used the geography of the Straits of Hormuz to ripple global economies so the US faces difficult choices such as the possibility of a ground invasion. Iran's lower cost drones have worked well against our more expensive warfare as the US government continues to sink farther into debt.

Our leaders have harmed our alliances with Europe and Canada at such a time when we could benefit from the alliances that were stronger in the past. Iran has brutalized it's own people and propagated violence abroad though we also seem to be slipping farther into authoritarian government at home. The US and Israel have our own violent effects abroad as well.

It seems like the strategy we have pursued, especially under Trump and Republican Party leadership, is not helping to improve the situation in Iran and around the world.
