Top 5 Reasons the Iran War Means More Peace Through Strength – After a week when the news flipped from Tehran trouncing Trump to the Iranians being in serious trouble, it could well be time to look beyond the war to what it means for the future of American peace through strength.
Behind the headlines brews a rationale, stronger than Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Bourbon, that allies and enemies ought to show greater respect for America as a resilient and rising global power.
Here are the top five reasons why the USA will likely emerge from the Iran War as a more formidable force in the world.
Reason #1. Arsenal Replenishment
Iran and Ukraine offered similar and reinforcing lessons. The defense industrial base is an integral component of conventional deterrence. Russia hoped to win a short war. When that failed, Putin banked on, given the anemic state of NATO’s magazines and defense industry, that even with Western aid, he could grind the Ukrainians into submission through a war of attrition.
Meanwhile, Tehran expected that with U.S. arsenals depleted supporting Ukraine, the Iranians could absorb an American first strike and then sit back as Washington’s offensive capability dwindled. In response, however, not only have we seen an unprecedented surge in production to meet the needs of current conflicts, but also a renewed resolve to leave no doubt that we are arming up to handle future fights.
