14. He's freaking out. Nothing is working.

Seems Donnie is stuck in an escalation trap. An escalation doesn't achieve the desired outcome. It just causes one's opponent to escalate further. Which brings even more escalation, tit for tat, on and on and on. Similar to to the old adage of throwing good money after bad. Iranians will target Gulf State desal and further attacks on fossil fuel infrastructure. And it won't open the strait. Both of which will cause massive short and long term economic calamity for everyone on the globe.

If we survive, we'll look back at this as the time Donnie fucked it up for everyone. Literally everyone.
