He also likely doesn't grasp the effects of an energy crisis because he has no basis of reality for how the average family lies. His handlers are also likely telling him everything is going awesome and everyone is coming up to them with tears in their eyes telling them how much they support him.

Perhaps the only good thing about this is the GCC getting absolutely owned for trusting the United States. MBS looks as dumb as dogshit and don't get me started on Qatar. Total marks across the board.
I think it's a wise strategy by Iran. You can't defeat the U.S. militarily but you can strategically. Showing the GCC that the United States doesn't give a shit about them and only shows fealty to Israel will likely cause massive changes going forward. And they also know that $200 oil is not feasible for any politicians in America.
While I think a ground invasion would be a disaster and costly, I also don't think it will sway public sentiment in the United States as much as the increase in oil and other materials. The media is largely captured and will not report negative news from a ground invasion.
