This war won't help the Donald, his Base are against this globalist intervention. Antony globalisation is one of the reasons they voted for him, it appears all he is doing is renogotiating the terms.
Given we know Iran & NK are members of the 'Axis of Evil', then of I'm those two, I'd be making a stand here.
Iran will never be stronger with battle hardened allies in position and strong influence in Iraq. Turkey will not let the Kurds alone which could bring them into conflict with us. Turkey also has its own empirical ambitions.
With the west distracted in the ME, there would not be a better time for the China backed NK to make a move.
Russia & China, disillusioned with the dollars status & seeing weakness would fund & support our enemies. Russia may enter the conflict.
So these regimes are not western style democracy 's but are they any worse than some of our allies? Do we really want to bankrupt ourselves and lose many lives to protect the US from themselves if the petrodollar collapses? Sure, our country is tied to the petrodollar system but ultimately, this war could expedite it's demise which would ensure self destruction for us.
That's some of the risk here even before you mention Nuclear.
