“A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.” – Ronald Reagan
Every war is bound by the Law of Unintended Consequences. If you study history, you know this. Most of our “leaders” don’t study history, or if they do, they don’t have the IQ to understand it. Let’s take a look how this applies to the war with Iran:
Law of Unintended Consequences Example 1:
Countries see what is happening in Iran and Venezuela, and other recent debacles like Libya and Iraq, and are asking, “How can we avoid being attacked or invaded?”
Simple: Get some nuclear weapons.
This has been the position of North Korea, now more solidified in recent weeks as the war with Iran unfolded.
We’ve been technically at war with North Korea since 1950. Their leaders have been evil, dangerous, oppressive, and killed millions. On the scale of evil and threat, they rank much higher than Iran.
One thing the leaders of North Korea are not: stupid.
So because of a new war allegedly over nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles (the threat of missiles and nukes was quickly refuted), we will likely have more proliferation of a horrific weapon that should never had been invented — a weapon that was an unintended consequence of World War II.
Law of Unintended Consequences Example #2:
It is clear some things in this war aren’t going as planned or hoped (and hope is bad way to conduct a war).
Fuel and other shortages are already occuring around the world. Military planners have long warned this would happen in a war with Iran. To alleviate the fuel shortages, sanctions were lifted on Russia.
The country we are at war with via Ukraine.
Since we effectively handed over funding to Russia, Ukraine attacked their refineries, putting the world at risk.
Russia is providing weapons and intelligence to Iran. North Korean troops are in Ukraine. Weapons and troops that deter China are being pulled from the Far East allies Japan and South Korea.
We are one mistep from global meltdown.
Or maybe the World War has already begun.
If cooler heads don’t end the war now, the chances of this spiraling out of control increase exponentially by the day.
And many consequences, known and unknown, will impact many, many generations.
