Which by state law is based on state populations voting. IE an election.

Doesn't matter what candidate the American people elect, because the USA doesn't elect presidents.

Actually it does as per the name. United States of America. Plural.

Iran has allies, a lot of them.

Iran could shut down the Straights of Hormuz, and only allow oil to countries they consider allies. They could bomb pipelines to countries that they consider enemies. Iran, backed up by Russia, is in a position to trash the global economy for anyone who isn't on their side in the ongoing battle with the USA.

Good points.

Its not difficult for situations to occur in which goods will cost 10x what they do in the coming year. I wonder what the business opportunities are? What should I buy this month? What can I buy and then sell for 10X the cost?...without making people starve or anything like that.

I listened to one oil expert who estimated that if war broke out with Iran, with Iran possibly being able to stop the flow of ships temporarily going through the Straits of Hormuz, that gas prices could soar and go as high as possibly $17 per gallon. Even if it were only half that, this could cause us and much of the rest of the world some serious economic problems that could last for months, and maybe even years.

But just think about the profits made by American oil producers!
That'll be a win for Trump, who's doubtless investing in oil and gold as we speak. That would be the "smart" thing to do, now wouldn't it?

Ya, but it doesn't work that way, in the short-haul at least, even for this country, especially since oil supply and prices are determined internationally. Even if Iran were to shut down the Straits for only a week or two, the stock market would go berserk, billions would be lost, and internationally there would be a crisis since there are not large stockpiles of oil internationally.

Yes, here in the States we have our "Strategic Reserve", but the damage would be done more internationally, and in today's global economy the effects would create a ripple-effect that would very much affect us. And just imagine how our traditional allies are thinking of us creating this mess, and I don't hear much support of Trump's recklessness coming from them.

Obviously, there's a reason why the two previous presidents were advised not to do what the Donald just did, and now the "Law of Unforeseen Consequences" will kick in.

Stay tuned.

The war mongers who think that we can just take out Iran which is backed by Russia and China, remember Vietnam even if you were too young to experience it. The big fool in the White House thinks a war will be simple to win. Iran is stronger than North Vietnam.

Well, I'm not going to point any moral,
I'll leave that for yourself
Maybe you're still walking, you're still talking
You'd like to keep your health.
But every time I read the papers
That old feeling comes on;
We're, waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on.

Waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on.
Waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on.
Waist deep! Neck deep! Soon even a
Tall man'll be over his head, we're
Waist deep in the Big Muddy!
And the big fool says to push on!

Iran is rated 14 on the military index.

Your right though. They do have some advanced tech mainly involving air defense and underestimating an enemy is never advised.

The ball is in their court though. It's up to them if they escalate things.

To them, they're engaged in eye for an eye and not escalation. Trump is threatening a war crime in response. We'll see what happens next.

Look and compare the reports between the US and Iran. Equipment wise Iran has a fraction of the US. For example according to reports the Iranian Air Force amounts to two CVs of the US. Just CVs not the actual USAF. It's technology is only a fraction of that of the US. Iran only has an edge in infantry via pure numbers which is one of the worst criteria to judge a military. It's navy does not even come close to the fire power of 1 US battlegroup
