Four things we know. 1. Trump cannot stand to lose face. 2. The Iran debacle is the biggest humiliation of his presidencies. 3. He is entirely lacking in moral restraint. 4. Nuclear weapons offer a swift apparent "resolution" to the crisis he has created. It is not a happy chain of thought.

5. Soon half of oil extraction capacity in Middle East will have been destroyed, and it will take more than a decade to fix that. That will cause a severe oil shortage worldwide, US included.
6. If the US uses nukes now, it will make everybody to start developing their own intercontinental nukes.
7. Nobody is going to put radioactive oil in his car.
