I have watched, analyzed, and reported on geopolitical shifts for decades, but what we are witnessing in March 2026 is not just another conflict. It is the final, convulsive act of a dying American empire. On February 28, President Donald Trump, in concert with Israel, launched Operation Epic Fury -- a massive air campaign aimed at regime change in Iran [1]. The administration frames this as a decisive, necessary stroke. But from my perspective, this war was lost before the first missile was fired. The outcome guarantees a seismic shift in global power, and it hands the ultimate leverage not to Washington, but to Tehran.

As the Iran war intensifies, the United States ruling class, headed by Donald Trump, refuses to rule out a military draft. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said that Trump "keeps his options on the table" when asked about the possibility of conscription.

Christian nationalism has been on full display, culminating with the murder of Charlie Kirk last year. Religious freedom groups are now receiving complaints that the Christian Nationalist ruling class has told soldiers that the war with Iran is "all part of God's divine plan."

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming one of the most capital-intensive industries in history. Consider: Semiconductor fabrication plants cost tens of billions of dollars. Massive data centers consume extraordinary amounts of electricity, sending power bills soaring. Specialized engineering talent commands premium wages. (Although the median salary for an AI professional is $160K annually, the top 1 percent of AI researchers receive compensation packages exceeding $1 million). Global supply chains must coordinate rare materials, precision manufacturing, and complex infrastructure.

Iran's military and political leadership has reportedly pledged allegiance to Mojtaba Khamenei, who, as we reported, was named Sunday to replace his slain father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country’s new supreme leader. The relatively young 56-year-old is not some Delcy Rodriguez character, as he's a military veteran of the eight-year Iran-Iraq war and saw his wife Zahra killed in an Israeli airstrike. He's said to be the favored IRGC choice and more hardline than his father, Ali Khamenei.

United States senator and infamous war hawk Lindsey Graham has said that the ruling class is going to "make a ton of money" off the war it just started with Iran.

United States President Donald Trump has downplayed the economic impact of $100 a barrel oil as a "very small price to pay" in order to keep up the war efforts. "ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

There is no way to get around it. We are facing a major global economic disruption, and the longer this war goes on, the worse it will get. As I have reminded my readers on numerous occasions, our entire way of life is predicated on cheap energy, and the Middle East is the most important energy-producing region in the entire world. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been paralyzed, and energy infrastructure has been under attack by both sides. In fact, this morning Tehran was “covered in thick black clouds of smoke” after a refinery and multiple oil depots were destroyed…
