    This is basically “what it’s all about”. Western neoliberal and overt colonial capitalism. Its extraction. All these rich elites are betting on the U.S. military maintaining “full spectrum dominance”, and if Iran fends us off, that’s the end of our projection of power, globally at least.

    When you see Bezos and Musk and Altman and all these other parasitic freaks retreating to New Zealand, those are the biggest, fattest rats fleeing a sinking ship.
