"Donald Trump loves to trumpet imaginary victories and exult in unreal achievements. In a previous column, I described this as “a severe case of premature proclamation.” It’s related to another condition that besets the president: projectile dysfunction, which involves an excessive reliance on the ability of missiles to achieve political and diplomatic goals.
In truth, the use of air power to drop bombs from great distances, although able to inflict horrific damage, rarely secures control of territory. This is a bitter truth the United States has been taught again and again—in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Iran. Trump has repeatedly boasted that US air power has “obliterated” the Iranian military. The resumption of heavy fighting in the Middle East, with Iran inflicting damage on the US and its allies, has given the lie to Trump’s braggadocio."
