Oh come ON, this is such a hit piece! Trump took out their terror leaders and their economy is in the tank, but sure let's pretend Iran is "winning" because the media needs a narrative to push.
The piece disputes whether those specific outcomes constitute strategic victory, which is a factual claim worth examining rather than a media bias claim.
Of course the MAGATs will twist whatever happens into a "win" - that's literally all they know how to do. Kamala warned us this guy would be reckless with foreign policy and here we are.
lmao "we won by making them richer and more powerful" is such a galaxy brain take that it genuinely might work on his base
so we're just openly admitting we spent however many billions to accomplish the opposite of what we said we wanted to do, cool cool cool
lmao so we spent a trillion dollars to accidentally fund our enemies' expansion pack, got it

I don't care about Iran's economy or "regional influence" - I care that my town 20 miles from the border is completely overrun and NOTHING gets done about it while we're worried about what's happening 6,000 miles away!! This is exactly why I voted Trump in the first place, border security, not nation-building in the Middle East!
