Pretty disgusting! Trump is the only American president in my lifetime to have lost a war.

Who lost a war?

Most of Iran's senior leaders are dead.
Iran's navy and air force no longer exist.
Most of their air defenses have been trashed.
Most of their military manufacturing facilities are reduced to rubble.

On the other side one - count it one - U.S. fighter was shot down.

Have you no connection at all with the real world?

@GoodoldBob It's still Iran, run by Iranians for the Iranians, well some of the Iranians, by the same system.

Regimes like this one are designed for continuity, and although very badly damaged, this one will replace its lost politicians, will rebuild its industries, damaged civilian structures and armed forces, possibly with help from its allies.

I don't regard any of the three nations directly involved as having "won" anything; just created a hell of a mess and embitterment that will take a long time to heal.

@GoodoldBob You can never stop any country from using it's own resources. Not crude oil, not uranium. It wouldn't be their country!

This war has been lost because it should have never started!

Unless you plan to take over a country, yes like Japan, you can't stop it. We still have military bases on Japan.

@GoodoldBob There were no jets shot down before Feb 28. There were tankers backed up in the Strait. There weren't 7 dead soldiers. There weren't 350+ wounded soldiers. A US carrier was't damaged so bad it hat do limp into port. There was no nuclear threat. There was no Iranian threat at all. And gas was affordable. And we still don't know how this ends. Winning?
@GoodoldBob sounds like you missed the news from over the weekend. It's hard to understand that the USA lost hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aircraft, a secret number of lives and the war unless you listened to the enemy and the neutral parties who reported on events.
