Most trading these days is probably just AI and algorithms. They see a positive headline and starts making buys or selling stuff if it's negative. It's all a money printing machine for the rich and a casino for the poor.

Iran didn’t start this fire. It was always burning since the US started stealing lands westward of the Appalachians and sabotaging their homeland to spare themselves some taxes.

Iran didn’t start this fire. It was always burning because that’s America’s manifest destiny: to democratise and dollarise every oil well in lands unable to govern themselves

Iran started the Hormuz crisis. They didn't have to close it. They're ones responsible for this.

"Anon, but the US attacked them"

And? Yes, they can defend themselves, but they choose to close the strait and disrupt the oil supply.

They retaliated in kind to having their leader assasinated. What do you think the United States would have done if the previous ayatollah assasinated Trump? Or Israel would have done if they assisinated Netanyahu.

Your argument is farcical, misleading, and illogical. It’s petulant, naive, and uninformed.

I could write a whole Monty Python song with rhyming adjectives describing how stupid your argument is.

Is Hamas responsible for everything Israel has done during the current war then?

Surely 2000 people is more valuable than a leader, that was already dying and got replaced in not even 1 week.

Are the illegal immigrants who did bad things responsible for what ICE is doing?

You're responsible for what you do in self defense, if it hurts innocent people.
