Neither aircraft nor missiles win wars. Ground troops do. Everything else is just support.

Yes, but don't forget the West is waging a war of destruction. Even if they are unable to capture the Iranian or other countries' territories, they still achieve their goals by crippling their enemies' infrastructure.

That's what they intend, yes, but Iran isn't Gaza. And even there, with all the destruction they caused, they are still losing the war. They are failing to achieve their objectives.

Their objective is to kill or remove every last Palestinian from Gaza.

They have killed 377,000 of the 2.2 million population thus far, they are nearly 20% done with their genocide and this will only ramp up faster and faster as the starvation kicks in from the siege.

well then this war is destined to come down to a negotiated stalemate at some point, with the side who inflicted the most damage having the upper hand. Neither side has a ground army capable of invading the other.

Yeah i think that's probably how this will end.

with the side who inflicted the most damage having the upper hand.

Not necessarily. The side that can endure the most damage will have the upper hand.

And the neocolony is incredibly fragile when it comes to its capacity to actually take hits.
