Sad but not surprising. Iran got the upper hand, and USA refuses to admit defeat. Throw in something similar to the gambler's fallacy ("we were losing, so we'll be winning!") and USA has more motivation to stick into the war than the rational approach would be.
And odds are they know Iran is trying to play the long game.
Trump bankrupts casinos.
Not the US. Trump and cronies. Most of the US don't understand why we started this nonsense in the first place. Historically, Saudi Arabia took a bunch of refugees during WW2 and that's at least part of the reason they and US government are so buddy buddy but there was no reason for Trump to get us involved with their strikes on Iran. We're here because idiots voted in the head idiot.
By "USA" and "Iran" I'm referring to the governments. The comment wouldn't make sense if it was referring to the populations.
Fair enough. Makes sense to me.
