US victory cry is hollow

So much winning.

- 

Many of those in the American camp - led by cheerleader Donald Trump - are crowing that the war with Iran is won, or almost won. What I find interesting is that no-one on the side of US ally Israel - which has decades of fighting tough Middle East wars - has said anything like that.We have all seen the braggadocio of Trump, as the King of the World (as he believes he is) wielding the Big American Stick. But we have also seen his flip-flopping, so we have to wonder, how the hell can we believe you when you say Iran is finished?

The Trump fanboys have been echoing that bellicose sentiment across social media, as if the defeat of Tehran is a done deal. If they say it often enough, perhaps it will come true, Toto.

How is it that a country whose missile sites have been destroyed, at least according to the US, still manages to launch ballistic missiles and swarms of drones at both Israel and countries across the Gulf region?
