Trump has already lost the War in Iran. It's been lost for a few months now. The Pentagon knows it. Congress knows it. The Trump admin knows it. Everyone in D.C. knows it. Few are saying it out loud because they fear him. But the war has already been lost.

You think Trump can’t possibly become any worse of a monster, and then you find out his administration is sending America’s wild horses to slaughterhouses. What the Trump administration is doing to our wild horses is absolutely disgusting. 🤮 There has to be a line.
