A few weeks ago, I took part in the Delphi Economic Forum and I was asked to predict the outcome of the tense geopolitical situation that has emerged in the Gulf and wider Middle East since the eruption of Operation Epic Fury in February. I responded that even the Oracle who once inhabited this charming Greek town would have thrown in the towel when it comes to analyzing this particular war, which took the world by surprise, or when it comes to foreseeing the next move of the players involved, particularly unpredictable characters such as US President Donald Trump.
