    their main modus operandi is aerial terror campaigns

    Well yeah, and the tools for that appear to be far from depleted

      Right, the weapons that aren’t being used in Ukraine because Russia has actual air defence aren’t being depleted. Things that are being used like artillery shells and ATACMS, are very much being depleted, and that’s being admitted openly now. Furthermore, US has to be everywhere at once to maintain the empire. There’s Ukraine, Africa, Latin America, West Asia, Korea, Japan, Philippines, etc. US has to supply weapons to all these regions, and as it becomes increasingly challenged across the globe, it’s starting to have to pick its battles. Hence why US is being kicked out of Africa now.

      Yeah, and the western terrorists still possess the world’s largest nuclear arsenal. We’re talking about weapons relevant to a prolonged war against a force capable of defending its airspace. We’re talking about weapons relevant to actual war, not terror campaigns against guerrillas and comparably poorly equipped freedom fighters. Wtf are you talking about?

        I’m talking about the wars that USA and Co have been waging in order to extract resources, obtain markets, etc

      But the tools of aerial terror campaign are only good for aerial terror campaigns, not conventional war.

          In Ukraine only one side getting aerial bombed and it’s the side USA arms and supports. In Yemen, half of NATO engaged in the biggest naval operation since WW2 and also in their typical aerial terror campaign but they didn’t stopped Ansar Allah even a bit.
