My optimism is at best minimized because very few countries that were "liberated" are thriving vs most that remain in chaos or deadlocked into stagnation.
The only upside perhaps is that China loses 70% of its oil sources and that it may be hard to invade Taiwan as a result of these energy shocks and reliance on Russia one that coupled with economic downturn will inevitably lead to similar chaos taking place in Iran.
When people have no bread (or rice), they will fear nothing.
That didn't stop Japan in 1941. Rather the opposite... they went after the country that was threatening their supply.
Which countries that are thriving do you think were not “liberated”? The US has done well, and King George III did not depart willingly.
And I don't think the regime can keep that for long if there is still expected to be something resembling a working country.
Iran relies heavily on digital transactions because of the hyperinflation, there is not enough physical cash anymore. Soon people are going to the street simply because they can't buy food anymore.
