      what are you talking about. How could you not see this as iran winning? They got de facto control of one of the most important shipping lanes for oil and computer chips AND (potentially) 300 billion USD to rebuild.

      they lost lives and infrastructure, true. but they discovered a weakness in the American military we haven’t seen since vietnam and exploited the fuck out of it.
