THE END OF SUMMER DIPLOMACY: ASSESSING U.S. MILITARY OPTIONS ON IRAN by Sam Gardiner, Colonel, USAF (Ret.): COMPLETE PDF or HTML URL (MORE)

If the oil volume supplied starts to decrease due to a global recession, so will the petro dollar windfalls the U.S enjoys, so any further wars in the M.E will only damage America's standing, not secure it.

I huffed and puffed when I saw it was 26 pages (actually only 20), however, it was a thoroughly well researched analysis of the situation.

"As an obvious consequence of the instability resulting from a U.S. strike, the price of oil almost certainly will spike. The impact will depend on how high and how long. The longer the conflict goes, the higher the price. A former Kuwaiti oil minister privately suggested a plateau of $125 per barrel. Confidential analysis by a major European bank suggests it would level off at $130, and a very conservative estimate would be over $200.

With prices surging to this level, third order consequences become apparent. The most obvious would be a global, synchronized recession, intensified by the existing U.S. trade and fiscal imbalances. Another political consequence would be that oil exporting countries outside the region would enjoy significant surges in revenue from higher prices. As a result, countries such as Venezuela and Russia would enjoy expanded influence while the West would be reeling from recession."

"The American people will be kept in the dark about their own history, like the subjects of some hereditary dynasty. Without the facts, they also face the possibility of being more easily manipulated by emotional appeals devoid of informed debate.

That moment has come sooner than many expected..."
