Iran is “winning”….or so we’ve been told 

Seems like blockading Hormuz is finally a lever that has some effect on Iran, at least in the short run. China and Russia will try some land end-arounds in the medium term. There might be a short-term pressure point if Trump can find it.

There will be some repairs required on our military bases, and that won't be cheap. Report: Iran has caused billions in damage to US military bases

@spartans9312 they aren't winning, but we certainly aren't winning nearly as quickly as we were told. Remember when we were told virtually all of Iran's missiles and drones were destroyed?

They’re only winning in the sense that their government’s legitimacy isn’t tied to oil prices.  Ours is.  Kinda a race to the bottom going on here.  Our tolerance for high oil prices vs their ability to violently suppress their people.

Iran is only winning in sh#t lib fantasy world. The next couple of months will be interesting.  At some point the midterms are completely lost and then Trump has very little incentive to end the war, unless Iran agrees to all their terms.

@snarlcakes 

I have see the Pubs lose the Senate to believe it. 

From China’s perspective we lost the war by starting it, burning through our missiles like virgins on Epstein Island and lowering various credit ratings even more. 

From your perspective we’re winning the war because bitcoin bitcoin bitcoin.

You know, it's really remarkable.  Each day he manages to look like a bigger fool than the day before.

Some wars don't have winners on either side.    You can't say with a straight face that the US is better now than before Trump attacked Iran.    It's not that dissimilar to Russia's struggles with Ukraine.

I get newsletters from several sources, including The Early Bird, Smerconish, legal blogs, etc,, and visit news aggregation sites. I've told you several times, and I'll tell you once again, do not attempt to converse with me and do not ankle bite like a cowardly little simp. I've also told you if you don't want to read anything I link (because you're satisfied with your ignorance), don't fucking read them. There is absolutely no one on the site who I respect less than you or whose opinion I find more worthless than yours. There are people slightly more unintelligent and almost as ignorant (you are the all-time leader in that category), but none are as baselessly arrogant and obnoxious. Once again, STFU.
