The media and government hide the fact that the US is going to lose this battle. They can't take over the whole world. Russia is very near to Iran, just look at a map of the Caspian and you'll see the distance from Rostov, to Tehran - only 2,000KM. Much closer than the US!
The yanks need to be very careful. There's a little known secret called multi-polar world, but the NZ media and government is hiding all this, insisting that US supremacy is the only option. Good luck with that... Trump is opening a pandora's box with his actions and it won't be without consequence.
