I guess there are down-sides to having a stupid authoritarian president attack a country without a clear plan for anything

The thing that gets me about the quickly accelerating economic disaster we are heading into right now, is it was totally predictable and foreseeable. I foresaw it 20 years ago when W was talking about attacking Iran. And who am I? Just some young (in those days) blogger. I'm hardly and expert on international oil shipping.

If Trump hadn't fired everyone with expertise and competence, I'm sure someone would have mentioned this totally predictable and indeed often predicted consequences of attacking Iran. Or he could have just paid attention. Iran has been openly talking about doing exactly what it is doing now for many years.
