    Trump: ‘I won more than anyone’s ever won.’
    This guy: ‘uh, actually…’ 😂

    The wins for Trump are as follows:
    1. Fatigue
    2. Humiliation
    3. More of Trumps lies.

    It’s probably going to be a combination of all three. Either way, both the people of Iran and the people of the United States are going to lose.

    Once shooting stop’s, blockade ends.Real struggle for current regime starts to keep control over demanding masses of Iranian citizens.

      In other words we win when things return to the way they were before we started shooting?

    So don’t fight Iran? What is this dude saying?

    • @bjornstenfors8455

      April 22, 2026 at 4:55 pm

      Yes, don’t fight Iran. This war is incredibly stupid. It’s a forever-war that the US cannot win. The US is crashing the world economy while every bomb is increasing the Iranian support for the regime and undermining the Iranian opposition.

    • @rainzerdesu

      April 22, 2026 at 5:12 pm

      Why would you fight Iran? You’ve burned through 2 decades of military munitions in 3 months to achieve exactly what you had before burning all those supplies. You couldn’t even fight the Taliban to more than a stand still in Afghanistan and they are less developed and have less resources and less regional power.

    April 22, 2026 at 4:50 pm

    The best case scenario is going back to how things used to be, just with even higher tensions. Not a good recipe for peace.

  7. @timg4444

    April 22, 2026 at 5:04 pm

    So what is Iran’s strategic objective???? Other than survive/force a surrender

    • @rainzerdesu

      April 22, 2026 at 5:11 pm

      If you are invaded, that is your strategic objective. Why would they have any other strategic objective?

    • @bjornstenfors8455

      April 22, 2026 at 5:40 pm

      Iran’s strategic objective is to survive.

  8. @ThatVideoGuyTom

    April 22, 2026 at 5:05 pm

    The Objective is to HIDE the EPSTEIN FILES.

  9. @AlAlekzander

    April 22, 2026 at 5:14 pm

    So they just need to find a 1000 pounds of enriched uranium under the ground and put in a US-friendly regime and control the strait of hormuz. No problem. LOL!

  11. @sleepycactus3656

    Survive.
    That is how they win.
    USA is so obviously the villain in this movie

    This whole ‘winning’ thing sounds like trying to beat a video game with no actual win screen. ….

  13. @alecfloyd3771

    April 22, 2026 at 5:48 pm

    the tie is nice.

  14. @Vanthrax_Aster

    April 22, 2026 at 5:59 pm

    So many people on the far right claim we “win” wars that we lost because our killcount was high. Those people have no place discussing war. Winning a war is not friggen CoD acheivements.

  15. @ApocalypseWow

    April 22, 2026 at 6:07 pm

    Well if Iran’s military is completely obliterated the other goals are pretty easy to accomplish

    i have questions about his tie

  17. @airporttrucker8529

    Well somebody was winning at the futures market.

  18. @kitcutting

    April 22, 2026 at 6:29 pm

    Similar concept happened in Vietnam.
    USA got tired of fighting so they left. The VC and NVA reunified the country, got what they wanted, and raised the red flag that’s been standing ever since.
    A gross oversimplification, but you all get the point
