Forty days of war. Eighty percent of America’s most advanced cruise missile stocks gone. 425 JASSM-ER missiles left from 2,300. France, Spain and Italy denied US bases and airspace. NATO in its worst crisis in decades. China watching. Taking notes.
And the conclusion from allies and adversaries alike, from Europe to the Middle East: the United States emerged from this war strategically weakened.
Which, for the country that is supposed to be the singular guarantor of global order, amounts to roughly the same thing.
Trump called it a masterclass. Bloomberg called it a strategic setback that bolstered China and Russia while draining American military and diplomatic capital.
One of these assessments was made by people whose job is to be right.
