Trump has already declared that Iran is defeated, yet the country still manages to hit targets every night. For instance, a gas production facility in Qatar has now been struck. A target in Israel was also hit
by a ballistic missile. The conclusion is: no regime change, no uranium seized, they are still firing drones and missiles, and the Strait of Hormuz is closed. If that is winning according to Trump, then I am
curious what losing looks like to him.
There's no end game in site - a Jon Stewart montage showed a panel,
except all 4 members were Trump, citing a *different* end game and
whether it was a war or an "excursion".
We look like international chumps - having to grovel to the EU/NATO and
to Ukraine for help after Trump burned those bridges so very well.
What does losing look like? A global depression caused by shortages of
LNG and oil, oil passing through the strait sold in Yuan instead of
dollars, printing money to pay for more munitions (and incentive
bonuses paid to the military-industrial complex to expedite munition
production) and a collapse of the dollar. Oh, and killing a moderate
Iranian leader with a pissed off, militant relative who's now got the
motive and the incentive to create or otherwise obtain nuclear weapons.
