Hopefully not for much longer
Absolutely! I'm personally hoping for regime change in some of the gulf states as dominos from this failed terrorism.
I think that's the only way for this to go in some cases. I'm fairly certain this war marks the end of US hegemony, as there's no way the US can address all this and its domestic issues simultaneously, and I suspect those domestic issues are rapidly ramping up due to the economic strain caused by the war.
It's certainly going to have an impact, I'm trying to temper my expectations but this could very well be catastrophic for the US Empire and a massive miscalculation.
A sure indication of a failing empire is it picking fights with weaker and weaker adversaries
