Maybe you but I am serious when I say we should start guillotining billionaires.

Here's the thing. The French and Russian governments were unprepared for massive civil unrest.

Here in America we have companies like Blackwater [or whatever they are calling themselves this week] Staffed by ex-CIA hotshots with access to a massive data base and lots and lots of money.

I'd bet anything that they are already planning to capitalize on this attack.

This whole story-arc gives first move advantage to the opposition, the oligarchs are being forced to react instead of execute plans as they wish

No.

This is a blip on the radar. Gamestop didn't destroy the stock markets and this isn't going to do anything but get people riled up.

9/11/2001 gave us the Patriot Act. You can bet that Trump will push through a law letting any CEOs body guards shoot at will.
