It's already too late. Even if everything goes 'back to normal' tomorrow we'll be feeling all of the delayed economic effects of this which haven't even come into full effect yet. That's just in the short/medium term. In the long term there's definitely going to be a very big impact on the way the world interacts with the US and therefore the global economy. I think that those of us who are fortunate enough to survive it are going to live through one of civilisation's big 're-shapings', of which this war with Iran will be an important episode of an important chapter.
Look at the long-term effects of the dot-com crash.
The most fucked up part imo is that if we have history books in the future, these events will be recorded in months and not years.
