Is this where we pretend like there wasn't a boat load of people trashing Trump and crying that the whole operation was the worst military failure in American history?
What's the next thing we're going to fall for?

Catalina island is 30 mile off the Orange County cost. You can clearly see every tanker to/from Long Beach that goes between us and the island. There is no "sneaking" a cargo ship through that Strait.
Do you have night time in SoCal?

The truth -- Trump is winning, meaning we are winning.
Perhaps their precious gas is still a little more expense; they haven't won a daily lotto in months... which would usually pay for their essential oils purchase. But for our country, the Trump administration is strangling the serpent known as Iran.
So many good tidbits here...

“It increasingly looks like Iran has at least partially lost control of the strait,” said Homayoun Falakshahi, head of crude oil analysis at Kpler.

The expiration of the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran this week in theory allows Iran to begin charging tolls again. But it doesn’t appear the country has been able to, according to Kpler.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright last week said that combined oil transits through the strait and rerouted around the waterway totaled around 15 million barrels per day over the course of a week – much closer to the 20-million-barrel average from before the war.

Yeah. So what?
So, we’re broke. If you are gonna do this, find a way to pay for it. Cut something.

What are we winning?
And they bombed these neighbors, why?
So they terrorized the region which did nothing to them?
Now give them nuclear capability.

Have you seen all the videos of your brothers getting blown to bits by allied drones?
There's ground houthi in Yemen.
Mashed hebolla's in Lebanon.
And Hamas carrion in Gaza
Y'all aren't winning anything, anywhere.

Probably. But it's costing Globalists a hell of lot more than the US.
When Hormuz tolls no longer get paid to London, that seems to disrupt a shite ton of money flow. Kinda like stopping USAID version 2.0

President Trump thought he could Venezuela Iran into regime change. I am sure he did it for the best of reasons.
It didn't work. The Iranian Regime has game planned that type of shock and awe campaign for decades.
He is now trying to choke them economically. That might work. But economic pressure hasn't worked in the past 47 years. Granted, that wasn't with a blockade in the Gulf of Oman.
But the "denuclearization" cover doesn't work with most people. For once, it would be refreshing to hear the President lay out to the people of the United States the reason Trump is spending America's blood and treasure in his attack on Iran. It would also be nice to hear an explanation of how he intends to achieve his goal(s).

Anyone who has been to a gas station or a grocery store recently knows we aren't winning. If we were actually winning gasoline would be $2.00 a gallon like Trump campaigned on and we wouldn't have any war nor would The Strait be bottle necked.

OP's point was that cnn is not truthful. That circumstances must favor President Trump far more than reported.
