This island was a Russian naval base in the cold war with hundreds of underground nuclear bunkers. Kushner apparently wants to build a billionaire resort with the protections required to insulate billionaires from their actions. Maybe UAE is too dangerous now. Here is another article. Try not to be put off by the Rothchild connections, they are mostly irrelevant and based on Kushner's own statements: https://tomselli…

If things ever get bad enough that the wealthy need underground nuclear bunkers, the underground nuclear bunkers aren't going to be enough to protect them. The ordinary people who did the electrical, plumbing, security, etc. know where you are, and no level of security will protect you from an angry mob with nothing to lose.

automated war machines are plenty to stop an angry mob imo.

Maybe in some dystopian future. But right now there are still plenty of humans in the loop for supporting those machines.

Are we sure they're not just negotiating over the price?

Yes. The whole bought media, party in-power, the opposition are against the protests and are trying to downplay them. Source: I live there. It's very easy to tell if you do.

I'll take your word for it! But I reflexively add "... at this price" to such statements.

It looks like Thiel is betting on Argentina.

That would explain why Milei got so much US money already. I wonder when the people in Argentina wake up and realise this is a problem.

Argentina has been a mess for decades.

The USA is currently run by oligarchs. They try to buy their way into other countries via corruption. How much kickback did the government of Albania get already? It is highly suspicious how supportive they are of Trump.

When Trump was running for the first time, the prime minister was extremely against Trump and even ridiculed him publicly on interviews "shame of our civilization" https://foreignpolicy.com/2016/04/13/albanian-prime-minister...

Which backfired after Trump won twice in US. But it's just business.
