When America Steps in without Strategy, the World Burns

By Trygve Olson

The United States bombed Iran Saturday.

This didn’t come out of nowhere — but that doesn’t make it any less dangerous.

Missile exchanges between Israel and Iran. The collapse of nuclear talks in Geneva. Iran threatening weapons-grade enrichment. American allies caught between silence and smoke. And now: a U.S. military strike.

We’re not watching a crisis unfold. We’re watching a vacuum explode.

Doesn't a vacuum implode? Still a violent reaction.

Some nasty arcing sounds and a noxious odor but it didn't explode. We thought it would.
