More REACTIONARY leader, sorry:

Radical == Left

Reactionary == Right.

& I read somewhere in the fediverse, before this idiocy began, that the CIA already identified that the replacement would be worse.

They knew, but they had no self-control.

Sunzi, formerly Sun Tzu ( Master Sun ) has been cringing & gyroscoping in his grave since the decision was made by Trump to go-along-with Netanyahu's pet-project.

PS: it may NOT be the worst war ever:

230,000 vs 10,000, & lost.

Keltic anarchism vs Roman discipline.

23:1 odds, & routed anyways.

I don't see how this doesn't lead to best case scenario a massive global recession and worst case end of US global hegemony and the petro dollar.

From the view point of the US, worst case is giving in allowing oil to be traded in yuan and having no effective presence in the region. Debt would become unserviceable, massive currency devalution, etc, end of an empire. But best case scenario is the US somehow does a regime change or is able to secure the strait by taking control of the area. Either of those scenarios would takes months and months and all the while oil goes up another $20 a barrel every week. By May, gas would become unaffordable for low wage workers and the economy comes apart.
