Trump: how many times has he 'won' a war?
If we count the times Donald Trump has 'won' a war, the number changes depending on who keeps the scoreboard. But if we measure it by those buying and selling on the stock market, the result is clearer. The debate, fueled by comparisons with Pilingui's supposed victories in Ukraine, reveals a pattern: wars are won more in the markets than on the battlefield.
Trump's 'victories': between Iran and the meme
In the official narrative, Trump threatens to 'win' the Iran war as many times as necessary. But the irony is that the repertoire of 'triumphs' runs out quickly, while Pilingui, according to his supporters, racks up daily 'victories' in Ukraine. The rhetorical question "how many times has Trump won the war?" hides a criticism of the media narrative that turns any intervention into a success.
The war business: when the stock market calls the shots
A recurring analysis points out that military moves are synchronized with financial interests: they bomb and the market falls, their friends buy; they announce a deal and it rises, their friends sell. Thus, 'winning' a war stops being a military concept and becomes a speculation operation. The detailed calculation of these cycles reveals a pattern that defenders of the official narrative prefer to ignore.
With this data, the next time a won war is announced, it's worth checking your portfolio. Perhaps it's the investor who is really losing.
