These cancer platforms need to be shutdown…
If you’re betting on Polymarket and you’re not an insider, you’ll lose in the long run.
Good then trump can’t use it to bet on himself to press the button.
The betting market on war is just an auction for bombing things.
And it sounds be treated as such.
Doesn’t game theory suggest you should always bet that we’re not going to all die?
It just adds another complexity to the bet that there has to be enough apathy of that happening to an Arab country.

There’s a reason that betting on the death of people is illegal - it provides a way to finance a hitjob on someone indirectly. In fact, betting against their death provides the funds that would entice someone to take it into their own hands.
This is the same thing but on a much bigger scale.
Trump is dying to use a nuke, and the only thing he cares about is money. Tie using a nuke to the potential for financial gain in the Trump family and the potential increases drastically. Trump has his dementia, narcissism, and sociopathic behavior on full display, and has zero concern for any long-term effects of his actions. If nuking a country makes his bank account numbers go up, it’s definitely being considered.
If the Epstein stuff continues to grow and get worse for him, a nuke is almost guaranteed.
