    They couldn’t defeat them the first time around and they hadn’t had decades to stockpile munitions back then. You can’t defeat a country with air power, you can only destroy it, and the west pretty demonstrably only has air power.

      And even then it’s only when there are no threats to their aircraft. They haven’t fought a foe with actual air defenses in decades.
