So where are we, war-wise?

Iran says they'll charge a crypto fee of a buck a barrel to allow tankers to transit the strait, and Trump has been unmasked as a toothless cur, all bark and no bite.

Sad...and expensive...

All bark and no bite? Their Supreme Leader is dead. Dozens of other leading government officials are dead. Their Navy is now a single fishing boat. Their Air Force is a bunch of charred shells. Bridges are in halves. I’m glad he stopped there and didn’t ’destroy a civilization’. Iran is ‘winning’ how?

I never said Iran was winning, I slammed the fat oaf for starting something without his allies on board and being unable to accomplish anything other than murder, alienation and destruction.

If that's all he wanted he should send ICE back to Minneapolis.

Look, I am not unhappy to see Iran being pounded: they pretty much suck as a nation, but the way our Clueless Leader is going about it has alienated the USA not only from our allies but from the rest of the world, and allowed China and Russia to back the Iranians in what may soon become a proxy war.

Blame Jared and his Jew cronies for getting Trump all "hot to trot."

Oh well, this is what you voted for...

Iran is making more money than ever before. Because of oil prices spiking, the last two months Iran has been taking it in. Now, with the straight re-opening (maybe, still gray area,) but in their control, they are getting regular toll revenue.

They also, have a new leader who was lined up (the killed leader was planning to die this war.).

So Iran is making more money than ever, has a leader who is worse, and still is granted control of Hormuz. How did they lose?

They had many deaths, but you guys do not seem to realize we are fighting an enemy who does not care about dying, to them X military deaths mean nothing. So yes, we killed more of them technically, this means nothing. It is really hard to explain this to people who are not engrossed into radical religious worlds, but death numbers mean nothing to them. To us 13 U.S. deaths is devastating, to then thousands of Iranian deaths means nothing.

I would say Iran gained more than the U.S. , is this "winning" I don't know, but it's definitely not losing. Also, U.S. and Israel got far more negative press than Iran, so they are not really losing the PR war either...

they wil rebuild their leadership probably with even more hardline hardliners. Is Bibi and Donny going to kill all the clerics? They will recruit more nuclear scientists and continue their weapons program...which was only a few weeks away anyway, according to Donny and Marco. They will hire French and German engineering and architecture firms to rebuild civil infrastructure, using petrodollars we pay them for buying their oil. China and Russia will sell them arms, such as they are. So what will change?

Donny and Bibi went into this Not-A-War without defining what victory looks like.

I have to LOL about this: the headline of the article nails it.

Is the world safer today than it was before the war was started?

The Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte's answer HERE

I'm certain he knows more about this than the members here.

Wait for it Flea, Dumb Fuck Doc will chime in with his "adult discussion" and tell us all how he knows best. Then Terapined1 will add a very powerful meme to further clarify the situation. Laughable.

I don't think SooPoo likes it when you refer to him as Dumb Fuck Doc.
