I can't see an ending to the Iran war that doesn't either result in permanently high fuel prices, or the end of the USD as world reserve, or a massive

irreversible refuge crisis into Europe. Theres no clean ending here

I can some clean endings, though Trump has to be willing to walk claiming victory, while everyone else is seeing the truth that it's a loss....

That, or LOTS of Troops have to go on the ground....

@Burnley123 Note: I'm saying it's physically possible... I'm not saying that Dumb@ss Donald is intelligent enough to take it...

The dollar will survive as the reserve currency, at least for now..But yeah

@Burnley123 I'm not too sure about that either. There's less and less reasons for countries to keep a USD reserve. Oil is a big one, and the other is the stability of the USA. Neither seem strong legs to me in 2026

@Elessar Also savings. A lot of countries (including China) have massive savings in USD. It will take ages to get off that.

I think the dollar as a reserve currency is doomed in the long term and the history books will absolutely show this war as a major accelerant of US decline.
