    Who ended up in a better situation at the end versus when it started?

    China is the leader. All the parts are from China. You just haven't needed to see them.

    True, but the Ukrainians, army and civilian partisans, are now top-shelf experts at what some people would call "redneck engineering"

    They've been cobbling together various parts from various places, off the shelf stuff, and making things happen for years now.

    Exactly, this is not due to military operations, but diplomatic incompetence.

    Whelp, I wouldn't call it a negotiating win but I won't miss the sanctions regime. We have watched the use of sanctions to pressure other countries to do our bidding and I can't remember it ever working. Trade and normal relations would have probably gotten more cooperation from Iran than sanctions ever did.

    I'm laughing my ass off at all the Israeli hard liners ******** their pants because their great savior Trump is running around saying Iran HAS THE SOVEREIGN RIGHT to have missiles to attack Israel with lolololololol

    Be careful what you wish for you dumb mother****ers - maybe you shouldn't have counted on the least reliable old sack of **** pedo in history

    It's sincerely mind blowing that the MAGA cultists who argued with you throughout this thread still can't grasp that we lost the war.

    Trump is unfreezing billions of dollars of Iranian assets and removing sanctions on their oil sectors before negotiations even begin on their nuclear program.

    How in the hell is that not losing blows mind. These people are so brainwashed that it's genuinely saddening to witness

    Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.
