They're basically going to try and continue to inflict more maximum damage because at that point, they're all in.

This is the escalation trap, which we've tried to tell everybody ad nauseum about.

Let's go and put A1 up there on the screen.

I don't want to understate the level of damage that we are taking here now

in the Middle East.

Let's start with the slideshow just to show everybody.

This is a U.S.

Navy, or sorry, a U.S.

E-3G Sentry Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft, which, as you guys can see right now, was basically obliterated here either by an Iranian missile or a drone

We don't know exactly what it is.

It seems to have been a ballistic missile and drone attack.

Now, there are only some 14 that are currently operational in the entire United States of America in terms of their arsenal.

So this is a highly strategic asset.

It's one of those that you're supposed to keep the safest.

It was also reportedly hit with multiple other refueling tankers, which is what keeps a lot of those air operations continuing over Iran.

Now, the fact

that this was able to take what is very obvious from the picture, a direct hit from either an Iranian missile or a drone, shows targeting capability, penetration.

This is the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.

There were multiple US service members that were hit.

Let's put A2 up there on the screen.
