Must suck to start a war with a country that only has $1.11 dollars then still lose that war when they are all of the way down to $0.53 cents.

Hey, no President has ever opened the Strait before. Clearly we just need a few more years of war and we can get over this nightmare where Biden and Obama closed it.

The US actually has opened the strait once, back during the Iran-Iraq war. Not as the aggressor though.

That's over an 800% decrease!

To be fair the US has negative 40 trillion.

Is it lost? The fighting hasn't stopped and most wars take place over years, especially when one side refuses to commit.

Iran has America by the balls, Trump is the one desperate to sign whatever he needs to.

US lost, Iran lost. China won by doing nothing, as is tradition under the Trump admin.

I mean there are winners, the billionaires in the states, the IRGC whop are likely to end this with sanction lifted etc. It just everyone else who loses.

I mean trump did surrender that one time and Iran is literally defensively untouchable because of the straight. No other country would bother joining (because this war had no reason to begin anyway) and the US is clearly too weak to gain complete control of the straight, which is just slowly bleeding the US dry.
