      This is why it will never happen. Because losers like you go to sleep instead of fighting alongside them.

    It would’ve been nice if this happened BEFORE the rise of oligarchy globally. Ugh…

    If this happens, those billionaires will have fire some of the Congressmen and Senators on their payroll.

    It’s for the best. I don’t think a probate court has ever adjudicated who inherits the Congressman when a billionaire dies.

    It is nice to read about these things but even sadder knowing there is very little chance of it happening.

      If Iran becomes a failed state it will be good for no one in the end.

        I think you may have commented on the wrong thread by accident.

        I don’t disagree that Iran falling would be bad.
