Hamas (Al-Qassam/Gaza Strip, Al-Quds/West Bank), Hezbollah, Iran, ISIS, Türkiye, Sudan, Pakistan, Qatar, North Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Syria and Iraq are all furious at the US and/or Israel and the power dynamic is beginning to shift in favor of the East ever since October 7 and this 2026 war in Iran. All the while oil prices are skyrocketing to 2008 levels (which the 2008 financial crash was caused by the same thing - taxation and sanctions on Iranian imports). Iran refuses a ceasefire deal, a prolonged attritional conflict would favor Iran, Iran took some heavy hits in leadership but survived it and now the west is in trouble. Mojtaba Khamenei is the new ayatollah and the only remaining member of Khamenei's bloodline. He was wounded by survived. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad survived an assassination attempt but his bodyguards were killed instead. Hezbollah killed 2 IDF soldiers in an ATGM attack after they were lifting an already damaged Merkava (which have suffered heavy losses in the Gaza war), now food scarcity worldwide is gonna skyrocket due to increased supply chain blackmail from Iran, 6 US soldiers were killed at a training post in Kuwait on March 1st in a Shahed drone strike, a $1 billion interceptor radar was destroyed, making US radar and communications in the region go dark, this war is costing America $1 billion a day, over a trillion or tens of billions at least already, Congress is now asking the government for more funds on defense spending even after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was passed last year, which added $150 billion to the annual military spemding budget, Iran is using terrorism in Western countries (like that Austin, Texas nightclub shooting from that Senegalese immigrant Ndiago Diagne, a shooting at a JROTC base at a university in Virginia where an ISIS recruiter killed one, wounded two others, and now a Lebanese man who plowed his car into a Detroit synagogue and started firing - whose daughters were killed in an air strike by Israel in Lebanon). The whole world is getting fed up with the Jews again for the first time since WW2. We are starting to see that Hitler was right, even the communists who many Nazis defected to after the war. What are leftypol's thoughts on the collapse of a country who hasn't seen an economic surplus since 9/11 bat for a country whose last economic surplus was 20 years after that?
