13. IMO, the bombing was, among other things, part of a deal with senate "republicans"

My opinion: Donnie dumpster bombs Iran and this week the senate republicans who were holding out on the big bad bill will now vote yes. And, voila, another win for the global elite. This is being orchestrated by the morbidly wealthy. Everything Donnie does is about money. It would be interesting to track financial maneuvers made by GOP members on Friday.

AI Overview

+6
Financial benefits from the US involvement in the recent bombings of Iran's nuclear sites are primarily seen in two areas: defense contractors and energy markets.
1. Defense Contractors:
Increased Demand for Military Hardware: The escalating tensions and military actions have triggered a surge in demand for advanced military hardware and cybersecurity solutions.
Boost to Defense Stocks: Companies involved in the production of missiles, drones, electronic warfare systems, and cybersecurity services stand to benefit financially.
Examples: Companies like Lockheed Martin (LMT) and Raytheon Technologies (RTX) are identified as key beneficiaries due to increased defense spending and potential procurement deals.
2. Energy Markets:
Potential Oil Price Spike: The US attack on Iranian nuclear sites is expected to cause a rise in oil prices due to concerns about supply disruptions, especially through the Strait of Hormuz.
Benefit to Energy Contractors: Higher oil prices could be financially advantageous for energy contractors.
