I'm generally of the opinion that we believe people when they tell us, then act accordingly.

With the clear complicity of the other gulf states in the attack on their country, they will launch Operation Muahdib, the destruction of gulf energy facilities. If their infrastructure is destroyed, the complicit states facilities are fair game.

Maybe we are close to Armageddon but the billionaires die like the rest of us. So I don't think so.
