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

| looks to me as if the only thing that matters to DT regarding the senseless war with Iran is Hormuz. Regime change... nuclear capability... etc... forgotten... just let oil flow... |

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.. |

carib.. you are a good reader... i did not say defeat is victory ... I said withdrawal in this case would be a victory.
It depends who you consider the enemy of the american people.
In my opinion the enemy of the american people is not abroad... nobody can stand to the US military "might" (as DT likes to say).. the enemy is inside...

can somebody be more clueless than this guy.... inflation has not eased... in the last 5 years... why will it ease in te next 5 if these idiots do not use the tools they have available..??
NEW YORK, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams said he remained optimistic that inflation pressures are on track to ease gradually, but if they don't the U.S. central bank will not hesitate to respond with rate hikes to ensure price pressures return to target.

BREAKING: President Trump says he has decided to cancel the attack on Iran:
‘The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II.
Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.
Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.’

Iranian official: ‘Iran has not requested Trump not to attack’
@Middle_East_Spectator
Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei:
– Iran is close to reaching an understanding with Oman on managing the Strait of Hormuz.
– Reaching an understanding does not mean the Strait will be opened; it will remain closed until we deem it appropriate.
– Iran did not request anything from the United States, and Trump backed down due to Iran’s military strength.
– If the U.S. dares to commit a foolish act of aggression, our crushing response will affect the entire region.
