Galloway critiques the US military action against Iran, describing it as operationally excellent but strategically incompetent. He notes the success of the initial operation in Venezuela as a potential miscalculation, leading to an underestimation of the enemy's role in war. The lack of European and Gulf allies, failure to brief Congress, and ignoring game theory around the Strait of Hormuz are cited as strategic failures. The conclusion is that this approach has diminished America's brand and created a quagmire.
