WW3?

Woke up to a new world this morning.
It won't be like the Iraq wars.
Potential collapse of the world economy if it persists too long.

The Persians have already attempted harm to the Arab contingent around the strait of Hormuz. Considerable parts of the worlds oil supply moves through that body of water which the Iranians can control.  That is a starter for influencing the world economy.

All the bleating from MAGA about Trump being different, not one of those warmongers. Now for the most part they're happy to cheer on his war. The principles they claim to believe in are meaningless--whatever the deteriorating shit-heel does is wonderful to them regardless of how much it contradicts previous talking points. A ground invasion next? Don't completely rule out the possibility. How this shakes out is anybody's guess.

People whose opinions (not government people) I trust say that this excursion will wrap up in a few weeks. They think that is is another distraction from the Epstein Files. Concerning that one person wields this kind of power.

One of the dead US soldiers, is from my home town (Lakeland Florida). Madness has moved much  too close to home now.

Sorry to hear that. 

Iran has a population of 93 million.
It's surrounded by high mountains enclosing a vast plain.
Land area is nearly 7 times that of UK.
USA and Russia could not win in neighbouring Afghanistan.
I have visited both many years ago, so I know what the terrain is like.
UK and other European countries should stay out of this.

Seems pretty much confirmed now.

"US responsible for deadly missile strike on Iran school, preliminary inquiry says" | The Guardian

It's the malevolent buffoon's war, so naturally on the first day of attacks the US uses its precision weapons systems to murder well over 100 school children and teachers. Yeah, a holy war. After all, the Judaic/Christian/Muslim god is bloodthirsty and not particularly averse to killing children, per scripture.

WW1 was not started in Sarajevo, but by railway timetables and canned food.

WW2 was not started by Germany and Japan, but by China.

WW3 was not started by Iran.
The failing American empire the most likely cause.
