@knowprose The opposite is true. Think of it as an internal war inside America, amongst different factions of American elites:

Group 1 = Bankers, $USDollar
Group 2 = Tech bros, AI

The #iranwar serves and helps the tech bros and AI, against the bankers and US dollar.

So, #trump who is funded mostly by Group 2, through the war in #iran is aiming at decapitating Group 1 at home inside America. This war likely will destroy the global economy and AI will prosper.

@Rastal Yeah, I don't know.

There are limiting factors we're getting to find out about now...

And a figure I saw yesterday is it's cost 3.74b during the first few days alone, Trump wants $200b from congress...

If I were a Trump supporter, I'd be blind to everything still because... he's getting away with this crap.

So yeah, as usual, follow the money... but how far of a deficit will his own base permit?

And Cuba too. And whoever else.

Wish people would just stop enabling this.
