  • Sometimes history shows oligarchs breaking stuff to make more money for themselves: trade patterns, movement of people, social safety nets, previous methods of doing business.

    I think we all got so used to the modern times that it’s hard to image this still happening, but on a bigger scale.

    Or, it could be mostly empty threats now, designed to manipulate the markets. We saw Trump scares during his last term in office, particularly near the end, that would deliberately scare enough people to make bank in stocks and bonds. Scaring a nation is very profitable.

    Probably both types of things.

    He is right about the Palestinian humanitarian orgs, been doing that for a year. I don’t know about the military, unless he means Biden is probably not doing all he can to prevent them from being misused domestically. Don’t know anything there

    Biden is not sharpening the knife: he simply placed a knife sharpener on the counter and is a good sport about letting others use it .

    It always was a caretaker presidency, that’s what I thought when he first got into office.

    I expect thoughtful words from his speeches as he gently leaves office
