    Just had a crazy thought. What if that’s their plan for retaliation? What are they going to do, go toe to toe with the US military? Fucking suicide. Attack the assets of the real power in America. Cost the billionaires money and they’ll go crying to trump to end the war.

      That’s something I haven’t thought. These billionaires would not like to lose any shareholder value and might be easily swayed when their operation and profits are threatened.

      But I also think it’s wishful thinking. They would probably demand an escalation and protection then a data center deal in Tehran when this is all over.

        That assumes the US wants Iran to be stable. They do not. In fact, US intervention since WW2 has systematically degraded the stability of wherever they intervened.
