I've heard unsubstantiated rumours from right-wing bloggers and yootooberz that Trump was supposed to have joined Israel's attack on Iran in a substantial way last June, but that Charlie Kirk went to the White House and talked him out of it. Ah! Here it is: "Charlie Kirk urged Trump in Oval Office to avoid war with Iran, Carlson says"
Iran and Iraq make some sort of awesome deal with the Kurds of Iraq to help expel the US-Americans from Iraq and they will be given assistance to fight President Al Qaeda in Syria and thereby save their people in that country. [This is far-fetched, I realize, but let's just go with it.] Maybe the Kurds get some more concessions that are real and that do not frighten the Iranians or the Iraqis.
Iraq and Iran conquer Kuwait outright. Iraq accepts Iranian leadership and assists Iran financially for its sacrifices. [Ian Welsh, or someone at his blog, talked about Iraq getting financial guarantees from China, based on the colonialist holding of Iraqi oil revenues in US-American banks, to be doled out to Iraq at the USA's discretion. Iraqi oil is priced in Yuan, or China gets preferred status or something, and Iraq prospers and has money to pay Iran.
This is the end of the petro-dollar.
