Time for the billionaires to be pissed about the war

F****** with their money, their slave city resort Dubai, and vaporizing hundreds of children that the rich want to f*** and eat. A real triple threat to the interests of the Epstein class.

In that sense Trump is a true freedom fighter

Its the end result of hereditary power and wealth transfer. Its not really a coincidence that this shitshow has a lot of nepo baby morons at the helm like Trump and Elon. Plus a lot of other grifters who rise to power on talents that are not exactly merit based or helpful to society. Like the inbred aristocrats of old Europe this puts self destructive morons and freaks in charge of the system which eventually causes it to come crashing down around them. Neglecting merit for inheritance or grift is a society ending habit. And ruler class suicide in the end.

No yacht parties with underage slaves, no pro sports, what an oligarch to do?

On the other side, Iran has been a thorn in the side for *everyone* in MENA for decades now. They have no allies playing at par with them, all Iran has and had on their side are terrorist groups. Sure, business is ruined for maybe a year or so, but as long as the US and Israel finish the job and the Mullahs are gone, they will be happy with any outcome - from democracy to civil war, anything goes as long as Iran doesn't stir shit in other countries any more. That's the game the MENA countries are playing, they just don't want to openly admit it.

Although there are scenarios getting rid of the Ayatollah and IRGC work could be worth the conflict, TRUMP AND NETANYAHU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO RUN SUCH A WAR. Trump is a complete moron who doesn't understand his enemies won't do as he says just because he threatens them and is unable to commit to any policies or actual plans, doesn't understand anything that is going on, and doesn't even care about any outcome - he just wants photo ops/headlines. Netanyahu on the other hand wants one of two things from this war - in the "best case" he may genuinely want to get rid of the Iranian government as they are not just the biggest backer of the militant groups but also as an act to get a lot of political capital from the other countries in the region so he can continue to do what he wants to Palestinians. Worst case, he wants to "kick the hornets nest" to instigate more chaos to further gain power and make it even harder to get him out of office and into prison for his corruption. Either way he has massive conflicts of interests/alterior motives that makes it impossible to trust he wants a "good ending" or cares about balancing the consequences to the benefits. There is a reason why even JOHN BOLTON doesn't have any confidence for this war.

>Although there are scenarios getting rid of the Ayatollah and IRGC work could be worth the conflict, TRUMP AND NETANYAHU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO RUN SUCH A WAR. Fully agree with you, especially when it comes to Trump. >Worst case, he wants to "kick the hornets nest" to instigate more chaos to further gain power and make it even harder to get him out of office and into prison for his corruption That's indeed one side that is really dangerous, but on the other side, Israel cannot sustain a multi year war for much longer. The last two years following Oct 7th have stretched IDF absolutely thin, the economy is already suffering from all the reservists fighting in the wars instead of working their day jobs. >There is a reason why even JOHN BOLTON doesn't have any confidence for this war. No surprise there. The biggest problem is the nakedly incompetent US administration - last year half the military leadership was purged for yes-men, and if that wasn't enough, a bunch of the middle level leadership is outright calling this shitshow a "[holy war](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/03/us-israel-iran-war-christian-rhetoric)" to intentionally lead into Armageddon as well. Normally, a war of this volume would have been prepared at least silently for well over a year - order missile defense, drone defense, shuttle it across the region, shuttle other important assets such as minesweeper ships into the region, and only when everything is in place, give the order to attack. But eh, the US got Hegseth running the show.

If the war continues to drag they will also have to cancel Qatar and Abu Dhabi GPs.

Is it due to the war or because Merc already has it in the bag?

Like that orange obscenity even stood a chance of getting the F1 Peace Prize anyway. I'm wondering if ice will up their presence in Miami, Austin, and Las Vegas because donzo wants to be spiteful
