Kristof: The regime most weakened by this war may be Trump’s. I think the economic consequences of the war increase the likelihood that Democrats win the Senate as well as the House in the fall and also perhaps increase the chance of a Democratic president succeeding Trump. I think of King Croesus of Lydia consulting the Oracle at Delphi about whether he should attack the Persian Empire. The Oracle said that if he did, a great empire would be destroyed. So Croesus, pleased, went ahead. And the Oracle was right: Croesus attacked Persia and destroyed a great empire — his own.
