Economic impact of possible attack on Iran

Quote from candletrader:

...................As for the economic impact of an attack on Iran... oil prices will take a short-term dive and gold, a safe geopolitical haven, will spike...

In the long-run, things will stablise... this is because the middle east will be effectively entirely under our control (we will have military bases in all key oil-producing countries) and oil supplies will be guaranteed for decades...

i just want to go on record as saying this is grossly inaccurate. with any attack on Iran, i believe oil will spike and will remain high during an extended conflict.

And GWs bodys will make a killing.
That was the whole point in the first place.

Russia was not fighting Japan. That is where you are mistaken in your argument. Russia was fighting one front war. Trust me. I am Russian and I know MY history.

Yes, america may have put things over the top. How nice to come in at the very end and run with the flag to Berlin and say usa won the war. You need to get to the top first to put something over the top. And america was there as a food supplier. I don't think you could beat nazis by throwing bacon at them.

Well, Russia joined the war against Japan in the summer of 1945.
