US strategy to counter Iranian drones and missiles: just lie and say you shot them all down. Hopefully the Iranians will become demoralized and stop shooting at you.

This is like, everyone's strategy in every war. But what ends up happening (every single time) is nobody believes them except their own analysts and they end up convincing themselves that they're doing great - only to get beat upside the head by reality when it becomes undeniable...

Something like:
> sir, that was our last missile
> what do you mean, last
> we don't have any more, sir
> WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE
...

I don't believe anything coming out of a warzone.

@magicalthinking @cjd @Terry Only if more people realized that no information out of a warzone can be trusted... Been like that for thousands of years...

I think people are starting to wake up to it. Sophisticated decision makers (investors) are well aware. What's perpetually amazing is how supposedly serious geopolitical analysts are forever getting tricked by propaganda that is being created just down the hall from them.
