"where key decision makers in government have the tantalizing options to make hundreds of thousands of dollars by synchronizing military engagements with their gambling position"
To wit: where key decision makers in government can get paid to reveal war secretes to our enemies.
- AnimalMuppet 8mo agoHmm. That also means that key decision makers can pay money in order to lie to our enemies.
- warkdarrior 8mo agoWhy not both? There's money to be squeezed from both ends.
- kibwen 8mo agoThe Rosenbergs weren't spies, they were entrepreneurs providing an essential service to the nuclear proliferation industry!
- kqr 8mo agoSure, and pay our enemies to reveal their secrets to us. That's exactly the point of these things. Dangle money in front of people who know things we want to know.
- JumpCrisscross 8mo ago> pay our enemies to reveal their secrets to us Something tells me China has better opsec around such leaks than we do.
- whattheheckheck 8mo agoTaiwan is going to be invaded before 2030
- BowBun 8mo agoThen go bet on it! Why are you telling us?
- whattheheckheck 8mo agoTo fake out the markets

- JumpCrisscross 8mo ago> You don’t have any enemies. Nobody cares about you. Nobody is coming to hurt you or your family Do you think the U.S. and Israeli militaries have personal vendettas against each and every civilian we've killed in Iran? Of course we don't. We can barely count them. Just because you aren't personally on your community's adversary's radar doesn't mean they aren't a threat. (To be clear, I don't believe Iran was a threat. But there are threats to Americans, and it's absolutley not brainwashing to ascribe a threat to a group to oneself personally instead of waiting for it to be purely selfishly relevant before acting.)
- keybored 8mo agoThe number one most proximate enemy to a regular person is their local/national elite and their sycophants/enablers. How easy this is to comprehend when Iran is killing protesters.

- zarathustreal 8mo agoYou’re significantly worse off assuming your government is adversarial than cooperative, regardless of what reality may be, and the majority of us know that. It’s why the chaos psyops aren’t working. We’re not happy with our government but apes together strong

- wizardforhire 8mo agoJust workshopping some sv vc tech speak… Disrupt being a traitor… The uber of spying…
- toraway 8mo ago"Disrupt" feels like yesterday's Web 2.0 lingo, now we say "Democratizing".
- keeda 8mo agoOr heck, with the amount of $$$ on the line, cash-strapped nation states could even finance their warfare this way. Like that $14M bet on when an attack would land in Israel: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47401044 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47401044 -- that could buy a lot of drones! Aww, conspiracy theories are no fun when they're so plausible.
