Do you work in arms industry? Because unless you are the arms industry, wasting almost 1 billion dollars per day fighting a war that has nothing to do with us does not seem like "going pretty damn well"

Check their comment history. This account is either trolling or just spouting talking points, it is getting pretty tiring. They can't even be bothered to properly cut-and-paste, see the missing 'I' at the beginning of the comment above.

Isn't it more fashionable these days to accuse anyone disagreeing with the prevailing narrative of being an LLM? I mean, I get that everyone does everything they can to avoid discussing the actual points made these days, like in this case how totally bonkers you must be to call Iranian efforts in this war a success, so I guess you need to do something.
Try it — t'is fun (emdash added for effect)
* US out of middle east entirely (meaning removing the army bases protecting the gulf countries)
* Cessation of hostilities, including their proxy forces
* Security guarantees, including for their proxy forces (translation: letting Iran fully take over Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and probably soon Saudi Arabia)
* Payment of war reparations to the IRGC
* Taxing the strait of Hormuz
They're down to 1 demand only: cessation of hostilities, only against Iran itself. Well, let's not forget who we're talking to. The only thing Iran's "revolutionaries", but in reality a dictator with a bunch of mansions in London, wants is guarantees for his own safety.
Now it's war and no doubt things can go very badly very quickly. But, so far, seems to be going pretty damn well for the US if we're being honest.
