and losers. But it isn't always who you think. It's little to do with military victories on the battlefield. There are economic and diplomatic winners and losers, too. The USA is the big loser on all counts except body-count.

Below is a summary of losers:

The Iranian people, the Lebanese people, Gulf countries (especially UAE), the American people (the war is costing Americans not only at the gas pumps but in the rising the federal debt), the global economy (inflation is set to rise to 4.4% ), and Trump personally (his war of choice is deeply unpopular).

And the winners are:

Netanyahu, Russia, China, fossil fuel companies Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, Exxon and TotalEnergies wh/ are set to make 94 billion dollars in windfall profits in 2026, drone producers and weapons manufacturers (especially in Ukraine), and the Iranian Mullahs (who, despite losing their former leadership cadre, have both entrenched and hardened their position, and they learned that they can hold the world hostage any time they want to by closing the Strait).

Trump: "so much winning." Now I ask all the Trump supporters here, are these really the people you want to win?

Yeah, hopefully the message is being shared over at Foxnews too. He decided to go to war for no logical reason. Every American is now at least $200 poorer because of it, handed over to the oil companies. And counting. Donors to his campaign are the big winners.

Please, Wildgrass, 'for no logical reason'

It was to fight Israel's war. Have you not noticed that Netanyahu dropped some bombs and then withdrew,
leaving Uncle Suck'a holding the freekin' bag. The goyim will die for those bastids, thinking they are protecting the US
