I explain how the US has committed economic suicide and achieved diplomatic isolation as a result of this war, how the US has damaged relationships with allies in the Middle East notably Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
I point out that Iran's blocking of the Strait of Hormuz where 20% of the world's oil passes should have been predicted by the United States before entering into this war.
Oil prices are rocketing and this will have.an effect on the worldwide economy.
Russia and China are now supporting Iran and this will make it all but impossible for America to end this war with victory.
The war is costing at least $1 billion per day and many lives lost. The US has lost a number of servicemen who have been killed and at least 1,000 are said to have died in Iran. The most tragic incident has been the killing of 160 people, mostly schoolgirls in an incident at the start of the war.
All of this has been caused by the decision of one man, Donald Trump. The war started just 7 days before the latest, and last, batch of the Epstein files were released and it is hard to believe that the timing of the war was not chosen by Trump to distract from the Epstein files in which he features. I also note that Trump's decision to go to war was almost certainly influenced by Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel who saw this as a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to decapitate and defeat Iran
