    Trump keeps pointing to “their navy is gone their air force is gone” as proof the US is winning.

    There navy is gone, except for the armada of speed boats running mid-range recon and planting sea mines and launching drones.

    Their air force is gone except for all the planes we haven’t shot down yet and their UAWs and etc etc.

    Their leadership is all assassinated, except for the people currently in command.

    We’re winning! We’re winning! We’re just a little behind as time is running out.

    The US is absolutely NOT winning this war

    We’ve spent a quarter trillion dollars to destroy over a trillion dollars in Iranian infrastructure and massacre an innumerable count of their civilian population. If this is a war of genocide, we’re winning. At least in so far as they’re dying in far higher volumes than us.

      History is filled with soon-to-be dominant kingdoms and countries that endured ridiculous losses in population and still somehow rebounded.

      Rome, Persia, China, just to name a few.

      So long as the unified spiritulity and determination is there along with the right conditions, death and destruction won’t find an easy victim.
