100% yes - US is in a current - very destabilizing - war with Yemen right now btw and for some reason 0 news on it. Have been since atleast 2022 (active bombing) but pretty sure we’ve had soldiers there since at least 08. Whose soil the big one will be on is the big question.

And lo, there was a young man in the land of commerce who did see the fortunes of others multiply as seeds in fertile soil, and his heart burned with envy. He gathered unto himself all his silver and gold, yea, even that which was set aside for the days of want, and cast it upon the trading floors, saying, “I shall become wealthy in a single harvest.” But the markets turned as the winds of the desert, and still he would not withdraw, for he whispered unto himself, “Surely tomorrow my riches shall double.” Thus did his abundance become as dust, and he was left with nothing but the garments upon his back. For it is written: the hand that grasps for all shall close upon the wind. — Proverbs of the Marketplace 14:7-11​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
