Your last paragraph is absolutely spot-on. It's called "market manipulation." If Trump has a fit and bombs Iran, the stocks go down and crude oil goes up; if he says the Iranians want a "deal" and suspends bombing, the stocks go up and crude oil goes down. The "insiders" who learn his intentions a few days in advance can sell, short the S&P, buy puts, and go long on oil in the first scenario and vice-versa in the second. Obviously, they're making obscene profits, and Trump is cutting their taxes for good measure, so they'll support ReThuglican candidates generously come election-time. What a system!
The thing about the white man aka the collective west, is he dresses it all up as human rights and democracy.
The mask is now finally off the super rich white man's diabolical mug, and the poorer white man aka the serfs/working class/middle class individuals in the collective west have finally realised they are/always were the new black/brown/Asian/Russian shit crew.
It's quite fantastical how the false flag of Jew-ville Hamas pantomime of October 7 2023 set this shit-show into full meth-fuelled flight.
The only problem with the white man is he only really types on keyboards or smartphones using AI for self-expression.
Some non-typing, non reading and Trump style limited vocab USA white men do think they're real heroes carrying round their rifles, mouthing off low-grade racist mutterings and suppressing their collective homosexuality, much like the GI Joe US Marine character in the superb American Beauty feature film.
On the contrary, the simple desert rat Houthi men in Yemen, aka the Fremen of Dune fame, can take out all the fat, slow and well-fed pig Arabs of Saudi Arabia by simply wearing sandals in 50 degree celcius heat while casually holding anti-aircraft missiles with their right hands while eating pita bread and hummus with their left hands.
That's the difference between white men and real men; between democracy and regimes of the axis of resistance; between screwing men and camels.
We've heard premature declarations of victory from both sides before.
Right now the plan is to drag Pakistan, Kurds and/or Turkmenistan into the war. The Kurds held out previously, but that is probably just dickering over price.
The performance on Plato's cave wall (Our screens, in the "news") is turning into the theatre of the absurd, innit? They use live props in the scripted play We, the participatory audience, watch. We might want to escape the cave...
I get much of my news from Normal Island. Especially this kind.

Oh satirical news, how would we make it through this horrific era without you?

China predicted this from the very start. It's not a Lego video but it's equally effective. "White Eagle Alliance v. Persian Cats" https://youtu.be/5dGY0_pgkv8?si=sHFBhkCL5eNPxQ9g

Over and out.

This isn't over.
