BlackRock's Larry Fink: If Iran remains a threat after the bombing stops, there could be years of above $100

** And the billionaires are pushing the regime to attack.. madness!

BlackRock's Larry Fink: If Iran remains a threat after the bombing stops, there could be "years of above $100, closer to $150 oil, which has profound implications in the economy" and an outcome of "a probably stark and steep recession." (1/2)

They shouldn’t have helped install a Nazi in the White House. I say send them and their families to finish the job.

He is arguing for regime change. He is arguing that regime change must happen and it's not negotiable and
whatever has to be done to do that must be done. At the urging of Netanyahu , Smotrich et al., our immoral president has committed us to something that none of us wanted. All I can say to liberal leaning Israelis (if any are reading) is you've got to do something about the extremists in your society and we have to do the same. They're going to kill us all - not directly by their own hands, but indirectly by poor governance and stupid moves that they wrongly see as bold. I would call them nihilists but that is too charitable. Personal gain without limits is their pole star. Remember that playing 'nice' and 'fair' are workable only if there is concordance by a sufficient % of the citizenry. If one third wants to subdue and disempower the rest, they must stopped by whatever means necessary. I wouldn't shed a tear if Fink just dropped dead.
