One relevant issue is the americans depleted their stock of patriots and precision conventional warhead SSMs.
Very inefficient use of resources, IMHO. |

NEW: Under the current deal being discussed between Iran and Oman, Iran would control all inbound traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, using a corridor within Iranian waters, while charging for maritime service fees
Outbound traffic would use a route close to Oman, but Iran would still supervise the passage of vessels and retain the right to intervene if necessary. – New York Times

Iran war looks increasingly directed to a US defeat. Hormuz under some degree of internationally recognized Iranian control. A big retreat from the pre-war status.
And Iran able to resume exports and access to cash to rebuild the
“Anihilation”. |

Americans picked Democrats over Republicans as better stewards of the economy for the first time in nearly a decade in a Reuters/Ipsos poll, which also found their approval of President Donald Trump's performance falling to 35%.
The finding, in a poll conducted Wednesday through Monday, showed how Trump's handling of the economy, including rising energy prices resulting from the Iran war, could weigh on his party's chances in the November midterm elections that will determine control of Congress for the next two years.
Trump's presidential approval rating fell to 35% from 37% in a prior Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted last month, with the share of Americans who give his presidency a thumbs up within just one percentage point of the lowest level of his term. |

Savo: that was a quote from 1984 (Orwell)..with an addition.
It was a comment on Trump, not on Savo.
I still hope the outcome vs the Ayatollas will be victory.. but I am like St.Thomas, on this.. |
