Corruption is surprisingly cheap. That doesn't mean we should ignore or allow it.

That's not what I said, I said that big decision makers aren't causing wars over Polymarket. They're profiting in other, much bigger ways.

I would also argue that for a bet on war involving the United States, Middle East, Russia or China oil products are a better bet - and it is the world's second most liquid market after forex markets.
