Netanyahu loved October 7th because it gave him the opportunity to launch a never-ending war and thus stay in power indefinitely.
Trump loved Kirk being killed because it gave him an opportunity to justify all his worst authoritarian impulses.
To fascists, tragedy is opportunity.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Welcome to the trade war. Unambiguously started by the United States. This is why you can’t bank on the Fed coming to the rescue. It has no idea when the tariff wars end and when and how they will impact prices.
