What if the only reason countries, like the U.S., agree to arm other countries when they are in conflict, is because international billionaires have placed bets on which country will win? (lemmy.world)

I mean, if the super wealthy are sitting back, in their mansions, when each of these conflicts erupts, and they start placing bets on which side wins, it might play a role in which side our government leaders choose to arm/support.

If that was the case, I would think they should stick to calling prostitutes and betting on whether or not they agree to the weirdest shit they can come up with, like that scene in Rat Race.
