Most people are looking at the sky, but the real war is happening on the road. We have seen the images of the downed F-15 jet in the desert, and the news is calling it a “technical failure” or a “missile strike.”
But in reality, it’s much more than that: the Iranians have been preparing for this war for decades. They knew their weaknesses as well as ours.
It would appear that we did not see ours. While we spent billions on stealth technology to hide from machines, Tehran spent years winning over the tribes that owned the roads.
They relied on ancient laws, cultures, and traditions to fortify their power, while we relied on technology and unpopular Arab leaders.
This war will decide who was right.
