And I can only agree, many do.
... stupid prizes. West's economies are paraded for what they are--low industry, high speculation ... well, Ponzi schemes.
The legendary derivatives trading team at Vitol Group, the world’s largest oil trader, has reportedly lost hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars on oil bets that went very wrong as the war in the Middle East roiled global markets and trapped physical supply at the Strait of Hormuz. Vitol’s star trader Yaoyao Liu found himself on the wrong side of bets on crude and fuel prices at the start of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, as prices soared in the worst disruption of global oil supply in history, the Wall Street Journal reports, quoting sources with knowledge of the matter. Liu’s trades are reportedly a closely-guarded secret not only on the market but also within Vitol itself.
Derivatives, a euphemism for speculation, which modern West's capital is and real economy are as removed from each-other as Milky Way is removed from Andromeda. As American Way of War is removed from actual war. Now they are doing betting, instead of studying markets and real conditions and outputs. The result is predictable. E.g.

MOSCOW, April 13 — RIA Novosti. Deputy Secretary of the Security Council Alexander Maslennikov did not rule out attempts to undermine Russia's food security due to the conflict in the Middle East. According to him, Moscow is in a strong enough position to increase the supply of products to this region, as well as to the Asia, Africa and Latin America. "At the same time, against the backdrop of the further development of the conflict on the Middle East attempts to artificially undermine Russia's internal food security by destructive external forces cannot be ruled out," the press service of the Security Council quoted Maslennikov as saying.
It has to be understood that the whole narrative about Russia collapsed in the West. Russia now lives better, eats better, feels better and is developing better than the combined West. Meanwhile, Europe is getting poorer, colder or hotter, depending on the season, and there are all kinds of other issues. It is not just Africa and Asia which will be affected, Europe is not going to avoid a food shock which is coming. It is all a domino effect and one things leads to another.
Now to people who still delude themselves with the last straw of hope that this clusterfuck was somehow Trump's "plan". There IS NO plan, what passed for it was a harebrained scheme developed by BiBi and Mossad and executed by their slap-bitch and asset, who is blackmailed into sheer madness and a destruction of his own country for the benefit of a corpse of the Israeli state, whose time is up and will dissolve. It is already being abandoned.
