We probably delayed their ability to get a bomb by months or years. We may have increased their resolve to get one though. If Iran wants they could strike oil production in Iraq, Kuwait, or SA pretty easily. They could also attack tankers in the straight of Hormuz. We could retaliate by taking...

The sense I've had is that Iran doesn't really want nukes (at least under Khomeini) but rather want to use the threat they could get one to get stuff/scare adversaries away. It's now vome out that we dont k ow where Iran's enriched uranium is and have no way to eliminate all their centrifuges...

Trying to reinstall the Shah would be a terrible idea, so of course we'll do it.

The stock market's not the economy but it's not not the economy. The stock market, bonds, and the dollar have all fallen together which normally only happens in emerging markets. If Trump doesn't reverse himself you'll be hit with higher unemployment, higher interest rates, and higher prices...

Im assuming the assets the Europeans seized from the Russian sovereign wealth fund will be used for rebuilding. Poland/Romania also show what EU integration/private investment get you. They have pretty good potential for high levels of growth.

Once they have peace, the EU is likely to pour in aid and integrate them into the European market. I think a lot of people will come back.

If that weren't the case the Ukranians would be out of the war. Public estimates from numerous sources have Russians having more casualties overall and the Ukranians doing a better job keeping their wounded alive.

Except they're losing more men and equipment than the Ukranians. Victory for the Russians isn't coming in the near future.

The Ukranian front line has reportedly been crumbling for 6 months now. The Russians lack the mechanized forces to exploit any breakthroughs. Instead they just feed more men into the meat grinder.
