The U.S. Cannot Win This War With Air Power Alone | Prof. Jiang Xueqin

Описание: Why can’t the United States win this war with air power alone? In this video, inspired by the geopolitical analysis style of Jiang Xueqin, we break down a brutal reality most people ignore: modern war is not decided by how strong you look at the beginning, but by what you can sustain over time.

This analysis explains the concept of the “cost pyramid” and why America’s military structure may be dangerously inverted, relying too heavily on expensive systems like air power and advanced technology. While this creates overwhelming dominance in short conflicts, it becomes a major weakness in a long war of attrition.

Against a state like Iran, which can absorb pressure, stretch time, and turn war into a test of endurance, the entire logic changes. What begins as precision strikes can evolve into a prolonged conflict where replacement, cost, and sustainability decide the outcome.

We also examine how other regional players like Israel and Saudi Arabia may have different incentives than the United States, and why a long war could strategically benefit multiple actors in different ways. This creates a dangerous scenario where the U.S. could be drawn into the very type of conflict it is least prepared to sustain.

Because in real geopolitics, war is not just about firepower. It is about structure, endurance, and the kind of war your system is built to fight.

And if the structure is wrong, even the strongest military in the world can be pushed into a losing position.
