Like Zelenski and Europe Netanyahu doesn’t want peace. He wants to mow the lawn and use our military resources to do it. He might not wait to give them a chance on anything undermining Trump’s peace talks , that they can do it themselves without him especially when Netanyahu’s drooling at the mouth like a death cult that matches or supersedes theirs. I would not like to see this perpetual wars they can’t seem to stop absent of self control once they start be Israel’s end either.

Seems Trump has ’em all guessing…spoke to a v smart mate today,,, he has no idea ….I have no idea, which i think is exactly where Trump wants the Iranians to be…..plus after some time Trump can say I gave them every chance and they rejected me.
Plus as nice as a citizens uprising would be, I gather the IRGC run the joint on the East German system, where everyone is expected to spy on everyone else, under pain of a very nasty death…….they know they are dead, as soon as the regime falls.

What’s wrong with the media. How many more hints does Iran need before they know for sure.
The Empire
Seventy years after President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about the cost of a military-industrial complex, America is still stealing from its own people to fund a global empire.
In 2025 alone, the U.S. has launched airstrikes in Yemen (Operation Rough Rider), bombed Houthi-controlled ports and radar installations (killing scores of civilians), deployed greater numbers of troops and multiple aircraft carriers to the Middle East, and edged closer to direct war with Iran in support of Israel’s escalating conflict.
Each of these “new” fronts has been sold to the public as national defense. In truth, they are the latest outposts in a decades-long campaign of empire maintenance—one that lines the pockets of defense contractors while schools crumble, bridges collapse, and veterans sleep on the streets at home.
This isn’t about national defense. This is empire maintenance.

I hope not either but they have plenty of things that can fly in and who’s footing the bill as usual.

Yep just peachy. Ongoing with whole mid east where as we seen in Palestine, hospitals, schools and Mosques or places of worship even doctors and children are targets.
Peachy
Over the last 24 hours, at least 20 C-17A “Globemaster III” and C-5M “Galaxy” Strategic Heavy-Lift Transports with the U.S. Air Force have arrived at airbases in the Middle East from Europe, most originating from bases in the United States, carrying additional air-defense systems, munitions, support equipment, and personnel, as preparations are in full-swing for the U.S. to potentially join Israel in their ongoing war against Iran.

If the war mongering and Feds economy keeps going the way it’s going they’re going to have a hard time controlling the PMs longer term. And their safe spaces in the world are getting more crowded and or smaller. One in LA already went up in smoke. I wonder how many of them voted for Newscum not caring what a intellectual fraud lacking common sense he is without his puppet masters recorded gibberish run on’s and apparently his puppet masters aren’t so bright either even coming up with the gibberish let alone disaster planning and projects that went no where and incapable of trouble shooting or actions in emergencys. Just low level activist behind the scenes with little though of outcomes except the ones they make up that ends in nowhere, and or disaster, with more of other people’s money down the drain. It’s not just one place around the world their safe place and spaces are getting smaller.

Re Silver shares …gotta have lots of shorts …to panic cover………………….they sure love shorting those things,,,they use any excuse….utter madness.

Bitcoin getting smashed for $2K
Someone on ZH mentioned oil getting “clobbered” but I don’t see that.
The smash on the silver shares is just ridiculous.with silver almost $36. It’s like $33 silver. These shares never cease to amaze.
Is it my imagination
Or has pretty much nothing moved in the last couple hours?
Dollar is down a little more, but seems silver hasn’t budged.
Feels more like the regular obligatory post Fed hit than anything else. People conditioned to stay out for a couple days.
I guess we’ll see next week.

India
Before I retired we were looking at projects to support 6 new nuclear power plants in India. I know Westinghouse was involved in the early stages.
The war bump is over
Although we did get a whole day in gold, which has evaporated plus some. Silver was a little better, but now plus some to the downside also.
This, despite a weaker dollar. Hard to know if this is post Fed garbage like we usually get, or the start of something worse.
PM shares look weak at this early hour, so expect a slam.
Everything else in the markets are flat, only oil is up a little better than 1/2%.
Another one of those days. PM’s, especially gold, seem well-contained now.
