  • I expect that the US will continue to escalate. Leaving Iran will be seen as a massive strategic defeat, and it will show all the vassals that the US is no longer an unchallenged global military power. It would also mean that the US influence in West Asia would collapse, and with it so will the petrodollar. Iran is already forcing trade to shift to yuan now.

    All that said, I can’t see any way the US could actually defeat Iran. So, further escalation simply means further destruction of the region, and depletion of the remaining American resources. The longer the war goes, the worse off the US will be in the end. On top of it all, there’s also the global economic crisis that stems from the war, and it’s predominantly hitting US allies in Europe, occupied Korea, and Japan. As their economies start crashing, they will pull the US down with them.
