    Israel and the US have begun their war on Iran with a “regime change” as the stated goal. If they succeed, Israel cements its expansionist goals and the middle east is fucked. If Iran succeeds, Israel is fucked.

    There’s a small chance of a stalemate and both give up and we go back to “normal” after a whole lot of death and destruction.

    The entire middle east is going to be affected either way, and to a lesser extent the world as energy distribution from the gulf will be effected.

      Also, don’t forget, the US attempts to cancel elections due to being in the middle of a war, despite extensive historical precedent of still holding elections during wartime.

        Also, Trump gets a massive distraction - which he presently critically needs with his approval ratings at the lowest level in either of his presidencies, and the lowest level for the first 100 days of a presidency in 80 years.
