Indeed, this war was a miscalculation of epic proportions. I fully expect that the US will end up being pushed out of West Asia when this is over. And on top of it, everybody is waking up to the dangers of being dependent on foreign energy. I predict we'll see a big rush to renewables and mass buying of stuff like solar panels from China. And if enough countries get serious about transitioning away from oil, then the US geopolitical position will collapse entirely.
