The Diary of a CEO Podcast posted this interview with Robert Pape, Iran specialist, on March 12. It’s the best analysis Pipeline Online has seen yet of the current Iran War. And his warnings are ominous.
Pape talks about how the US and Israel are losing control, and on a clear path to escalation that will likely result in American boots on the ground, looking for enriched uranium. To that end, he brings up the portents of Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, noting how the Lyndon B. Johnson administration kept escalating its involvment in Vietnam with no way out.
In other words, there’s a very real possibility the Iran War is going to become another forever war. How did Iraq and Afghanistan work out? They talk about that, too.
While watching this, consider if the Iran War does become a forever war, what will it’s impact be on oil production, delivery through the Strait of Hormuz or lack thereof, the world economy, Canadian and Saskatchewan oil production could be profound and last years? Could this lead to a global recession, but good times for our oilpatch? Remember the $147 WTI barrel of July, 2008, led to the global financial crisis that September. Some of us are still bearing the scars of that.
