What do you mean by 'ie the owners'?
No i disagree, geopolitical chess and war have many facets and reasons, not just money and cynicism. It can be morals (or lack of morals), ideological beliefs, culture, religion, historical reasons & context, humanitarian reason, to stop ethnic cleansing or to commit ethnic cleansing, 'freedom' etc. (US evolvement around the world haven't all been a cynical cash grab to enrich the ruling class.)
The foremost reason for last weeks geopolitical turmoil and flipping things upside down I would say is Donalds narcissistic personality disorder and simple retaliation (that plus Putin's charming ways towards Trump, and perhaps some leverage). I doubt attacking all your friends while at the same time getting in bed with dictators will benefit the upper echelon. (Unless Trumps plan de facto is to flip completely and go evil empire all the way.) If Elon cuts Starlink I cant see se how a human with some form of moral could choose to buy a new Tesla.
Russia couldn't have asked for a better mole inside the White House. They truly couldn't. This fact should alert Americans from left to right. Even Trump supporters should react.
