    Saying we were defeated in this war is a stretch in my opinion.

    we wasted lives, money, resources and credibility without getting anything. We lost the moment Trump got elected.

    Iran is going to make tens of billions of dollars in funds they weren't making before. They now control one of the most vital passageways in the world which they didn't control before. You MAGA can live in your delusional bubble but the rest of us non cultists can call balls and strikes

    ND we made their regime filthy rich

    the two biggest beneficiaries from the ill-conceived war, other than Israel, have been Russia and China.

    • Russia made a boatload of $ after Trump had lifted the sanction on Putin's country
    • China, behind the scene, has convinced Iran to conduct oil transactions in Chinese currency.
      • Petro Yuan replacing Petro dollar


    While Russian has shared intelligence with Iran, as they relate to US assets in the region, China has supplied Iran with drones,
    anti-ship cruise missiles, surface-to-air missiles, and the components thereof, to aid in its aerial and maritime defense capabilities.

    Fars News Agency quoted "a source on Wednesday as saying that the proposed plan for negotiations includes restricting and limiting daily ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks.

    The source indicated that passage through the Strait of Hormuz would be under the Safe Passage Protocol, overseen by Iran, and noted that the proposed plan includes Iran's commitment not to possess nuclear weapons.

    The source said that Washington would accept Iran's right to enrich uranium, and negotiations would focus on the level of enrichment.

    The source confirmed that Iran would be compensated for its losses through the establishment of an investment and financial fund, indicating that a formal UN resolution would be issued on the matter."

    You have to respect Trump. He's the only person in the world that can unilaterally surrender and make the enemy filthy rich yet have his cult @Astrodome @El_Conquistador @strosb4bros come running to defend him pretending he's winning.

    No other politician in our lifetime controls their base like the way Trump does. You have to sincerely respect it




    Fars is claiming the IRGC told them they'll make billions

    Iran has suffered substantial damage to its infrastructure and its leadership. By no means is Iran winning a conventional war — but that was largely impossible. It’s more that the US and Israel have lost. The damage to the US and its international standing is massive. Trump also has accomplished none of his objectives in Iran, as he just requested an increase in defense spending.

    This is a massive “L” for America and Israel… right now 75% of Americans under 50 have a negative opinion of Israel. Right now the USA has a worse international reputation than the CCP.

    This administration is stacking losses and we all will have to deal with the long term consequences.

    Explain why you feel this way. We have alienated our allies, they have been working out their own deals with Iran. It was so bad that not a single ally helped us. The strait was open before we attacked. Now it is only open with Iran charging large tolls and Iran controlling who can and can’t get through. Iran still has control of their plutonium. The prior Ayatollah was terminally ill and now is a martyr and his son, who is more of a hardliner is now in charge. We have also galvanized the Iranian people into hating us. We have lost the trust of our Middle Eastern allies as well. We also look weak to China, who have also become more hostile to Taiwan when we focused on Iran.

    This has been a disaster so far, and Trump capitulated and agreed to the terms wanted by Iran.

    We went into this believing there would be regime change.

    US can always wins the battles due to superior military force but like Vietnam, iraq, Afghanistan and now Iran we can never win the war due to the amount of resources and resilience of these nations.

    Was not able to achieve any significant objectives and trump pulls a TACO.
    Was not able to open the strait of hormuz, regime change was unsuccessful, wiping iran off the map did not happen, iran is not deterred from nuclear weapons development

    To the magatards they cant conceptualize US suffering a strategic defeat bc they do not understand the geopolitics in play. Sure we didnt lose any battles but we didnt achieve anything meaningful either. Its a defeat bc Iran was able to fend us off and now have leverage over the entire world simply by controlling the strait of hormuz .

    Something that doesn't get talked about enough is we've also spent over half of our tomahawk missiles and even more of our cruise missiles. There's only one facility that makes these weapons in all of USA. You can't just flip a switch.

    We've basically handed Taiwan to the Chinese on a silver platter

    We need to quit cozying up to Israel. Republicans have their heads so far stuck up Israel’s ass they couldn’t possibly be America first.
