How will the Iran war playout?

I have many times in the last 12 months been tempted to make a political post to this blog, but have restrained myself. But, President Trumps actions are having an affect here in Perth, Western Australia; unleaded petroleum has jumped 35%, with likelihood of much pain ahead.

So, still restrained, but want to post something. There are those who say Trump is a narcissist and a pathological liar and a complete idiot, others who say he is actually very clever in his international dealings.

Whatever, I won't reveal what I think about Trump, but the latest situation is having an effect that I cannot ignore. Trump has started a war that is having far reaching consequences. It seems that only Israel is happy about this war.

If global fuel supplies start flowing again in a few weeks, good, but what if this war drags on for months? It will be a disaster for the economies of many countries. Interesting, I am reading comments that it will be good for Russia, and many countries will start buying Russian oil. Australia is heavily dependent on imported oil.

I watched this video, an interview with Larry Johnson:

"IRAN WAR WILL TRIGGER GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE + US MILITARY LYING ABOUT CASUALTIES"

Didn't know anything about him, looked him up on Wikipedia:

...hmmm, he is on the side of Russia in the Ukraine war, if I have read that correctly.

I am planning early next month to drive from Perth, Western Australia, to South Australia, a distance each way of about 2,500km, but now wondering if it will be possible. Will there be petrol rationing, will prices be through the roof?
