Yes, it's the alternative that is concerning. I think Iran feels emboldened, because behind the scenes, there is likely coordination between Iran, Russia, China and North Korea.
They are probably trying to pull the US into as many conflicts as possible to overwhelm our conventional capabilities and deplete our resources.
Approximately 200 drones were used against Israel. Each drone costs about $1k. The advanced weaponry we used to shoot those drones down, cost $1 million to take down each drone. Same thing is happening in Ukraine.
Then when our hands are full, our conventional weapons and defense systems depleted, each bad actor makes a move. That would be very bad for the US and the markets.
Hopefully, it doesn't go that way. I like the scenario you painted much better.
Another possibility is they the markets take a dive now and the administration uses that as a pretext to cut interest rates, which they clearly want to do.
