    It’s “bold” to issue an executive order against citizens of a friendly foreign country that’s a partner in arms development… anything more, could risk being “unfriendly”, or even “hostile”.

      “Man, I sure don’t want my genocidal buddies to think I’m being unfriendly!”

        Some decades ago, a stock broker said about carbon emissions: “if I could buy and sell carbon emissions, I would”. Since then, carbon emissions have entered the markets, and carbon offsets, and derivatives. It’s full of scams, but corporations that want to greenwash their image, do pay for them.

        Now… have you seen the market vale of “genocide”? It’s $0, meaning “free for all”… that’s all corporations understand, then politicians have to follow, or get no funding for the next elections.

          Genocide requires weapons and materials, and weapons are VERY lucrative.

          Our economic system will find a way to turn anything into an opportunity for profit, death included.
