Everyone thinks this war will be quick, clean, and somehow end with peace across the Middle East.
That’s fantasy.
We’ve heard this story before. Iraq. Afghanistan. Politicians promise “mission accomplished” and the real problems start right after.
Markets are still far too optimistic about how this plays out.
If this war drags out, and history says it will, energy prices go higher, inflation goes higher, and the economic fallout is just getting started.
