The Board of Peace launches it's first war. The peace President has been shown to be a pedophile and well as a duplicitous traitor working for another government. 250 years might not make it to the anniversary but we're close enough.
Good luck to everyone and may God forgive you for your sins. Supporting such worldly acts of evil is quite a sin indeed.

Russia is going to go absolutely apeshit if the Islamic Republic falls.

Going by the words of Russian geopolitical experts such as Aleksandr Dugin, Iran is just as if not even more strategically important (to Russia) than Ukraine.

Since the end of the Cold War, the Islamic Republic has been the only thing standing in the way of Russia being surrounded on all fronts by its traditional Western enemy.

Russia's eastern flank fell to the West in 1945 after Imperial Japan was defeated in WWII, and Russia's western flank fell to the West in 1990 after East Germany collapsed and was reunited with West Germany.

And while some current regimes like the CCP and Erdogan's Turkey tend to play both sides, the best they can do for Russia is buy it time.

Unless Russia has a friendly regime in charge of either Germany, Iran, or Japan, war with the West is basically inevitable.

Good analysis Dak except it depends on how you define "war". It seems we're already at war with Russia and that Iran is the next step for getting closer to them as well as stymieing the Chinese, or more like flushing the Chinese out into action. We're going to be cutting of too much of their energy supply as well as destroying their massive Iranian investments and their critical Belt and Road node. But yes, it's not just about Iran but rather a piece of a bigger puzzle.

The attacks on Iran needed to happen. The Iranian regime was never going to back down from its pursuit of nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles. We should have gone to war with them back in 1979 over the hostage thing, and, if not then, when they started a nuclear program. This has been inevitable (so long as we are not OK with these fanatical nut jobs having nuclear and thermonuclear weapons).

At this point, unfortunately, the regime is thoroughly entrenched. As I have written previously, there is not going to be some quick turnover of the Iranian leadership and form of government. The optimistic case is a civil war that drags out for years. Even then, democracy is not going to happen. None of the Muslim countries in the middle east, with the exception of Pakistan, have any kind of democratic tradition (and Pakistan's is pretty weak at best). Culture change in Iran would have to happen first, and I don't see it happening to the point that even religious tolerance becomes a reality.

What the war will do here in the US is further ramp up the political discord. Trump's MAGA base, which is rather isolationist, will view the Iran war as a betrayal. The Dems think that anything Trump does is awful, so this will give them plenty of ammo. We will even see the Iranians activate their sleeper cells here in the US, and they will carry out terrorist style attacks.

DaKardi is right about the Russians and their worry about their southern flank. China will also view this as a major threat, as most of their oil was coming from Iran. They may even enter the "countdown" phase to their own plans, just like Japan did when we cut off their oil imports in 1941.

It could also start an economic meltdown, as, presumably, shipping out of the Persian Gulf is now not happening, for understandable insurance reasons.

My basic outline for the future can be summed up as follows:

US entangled in foreign war
Political infighting in the US not seen since US Civil War
Violent anti-establishment demonstrations/actions
Economic downturn to Stock Market Crash
China/Russia and minor allies attack the West, starting WW3
A world war that lasts years, starting with major US and western reverses
A depleted and greatly weakened US comes out on top, only after China reaches the internal breaking point due to starvation
