This take is extremely arrogant. You can make the argument that shuffling the deck like this will lead to unexpected outcomes but claiming one way or the other to know the outcome is just silly.

If anyone feels sure they know what the next several years has in store regarding Iran they are just demonstrating their own ignorance. I’d expect more people here to be cognisant of the Dunning Kruger effect.

I obviously don’t know what the future has in store for us.

But I’m pretty sure that any imaginable outcome of this war will be bad for the US, at a time where they are withdrawing from global politics to concentrate on national politics.

IMO worst case this will lead to a massive civil war in the US and best case to a devaluation of US military might (aka their army will be less respected/feared). Or anything in between.

We can revisit this comment in a couple years and laugh about how wrong i was though


> any imaginable outcome

Surely you are not using this phrase literally?


Yes, any outcome i can imagine at least; of course i cant tap into the imagination of others
