All that does is make it ‘legal’ for them to strip them from you when they need them.
It’s just more communism.

Looking at their website I’d guess that “Open Doors” wouldn’t be supplying any machine guns to the Christians 🙂 … and would the Christians use them if they had them? If your village was being slaughtered by the Jihadi’s of course you would fight back to protect you and yours!
The Nigerian gov would be a wild card. We’d probably have to bribe them or they may see it as an intrusion on their sovereignty and say No for that reason. Could be a can o worms!
ipso, Buygold, what does “USA assist the Christians…” mean?
Open Doors (and other NGOs) are already helping. USA implies The Government which to me implies the army. Would Nigerian Christians use small arms to kill people? Not sure about that. Would the (Islamic) Nigerian Government allow the USA to arm a Christian militia? Absolutely sure about that! Boots on the ground?
That’s why I voted no. I couldn’t see how Government intervention could de-escalate the violence – quite the opposite. Better off leaving it to the NGO staff on the ground, in the thick of it, who can assess and react to the situations far quicker than a bureaucracy.
There we go.
ZH even call it whack-a-mole! They must read the tent.
But never mind, because after the Big Z capitulates, a combination of ‘Socrates’, AI and Russia’s relaxed mine and rear end processing permitting will have a brand new rare earth facility up and running in six months providing everything the ROW outside of China needs.

TY … Among those who think we should aid the Christians there’s likely some who would say small arms only, all the way through others who would say whatever it takes … boots on the ground etc.
Everyone has rare earths. They aren’t rare.
But mineable deposits are rare. America has many deposits which are low grade, or difficult mineralogy, or both. If Russia was any different Putin would have been scooping them out twenty years ago when prices were ten times today’s.

Russia has rare earths but as a geologist told me it’s something scattered about and has mining experience. The problem revolve around refining and their good friend China wants to keep that all for themselves. Russia’s up for joint ventures. Trump will handle the rest if he chooses to take that option. He’s already got plans.
Ipso – good poll
The results are interesting. 🤔
Goldie 8:18, how does that affect rare earths, chips, fentanyl?
Ukraine has no rare earths. If Russia had any substantial economic deposits they would already be exploiting them. Russia isn’t a force in chip manufacture, nor is it killing Americans with drugs, directly or via Canada or Mexico. If Trump, or Armstrong, think peace with Russia means China problem solved, it adds a new dimension to the meaning of TDS.
Military Metals – MILIF
Little penny stock someone mentioned here a while back.
It’s trading down at $.30 again. Every time it’s gotten down there it’s bounced back up to $.40-.45. Usually pretty quickly. You can see it on the 1 year chart. I picked up a little today and have traded that move a couple of times.
I guess it could break down, but it hasn’t in the last year.
Just saying.

The U.S. Department of the Interior has added copper, silver, and metallurgical coal to its list of “critical minerals,” increasing the likelihood that these materials could be included in future tariff policies.
The three materials are among 10 elements added today to the list, which is updated every three years by the U.S. Geological Survey. The list determines which minerals are included in the upcoming Section 232 tariff review of levies applied for national security purposes. It also plays a role in determining which domestic projects may receive federal support.
The Trump administration has made it a top priority to secure the supply chains of critical minerals used in the U.S., and greatly expanded the definition of what constitutes a “critical” mineral.
Several of the additions are materials that the U.S. already produces in large quantities and exports, such as metallurgical coal and boron. The USGS said that boron was added after input from industry producers in California. …

Chat GPT must be new to the pm market. Don’t they know that fundamentals are meaningless in this sector? 🤣😂😇

Funny, they usually tie the shares to the SM more than the metals and the shares outperform to the downside. Today is odd to me.
They are working hard to keep the metals in check today, despite the dollar weakness.
aufever – true
A 1000 year flood it is then. Maybe even more rare from the looks of it.
now
the metals are tied to the hip of the sinking stock market…….more to come??
I did say
As rare as a 100 year flood.
They never surprise.
@Buygold I asked ChatGPT Why are some precious metals stocks higher with the metals prices lower. keep it brief
Because stock prices reflect expectations, not just current metal prices. Investors may be anticipating:
-
Future price rebounds in the metals.
-
Improved company performance (cost cuts, higher production, better margins).
-
Broader market factors (lower interest rates, weaker dollar, or inflows into mining equities).
So even if metals dip short term, sentiment and outlook can push mining stocks higher.
Buygold
More like a 1000-year flood?
(100-year floods haven’t been that rare the past few years.)
😉😁
Anyone else curious why
the shares aren’t getting murdered with the SM? and the metals down?
Not complaining, but that’s about as rare as a 100-year flood.
France’s Plans To Deploy Troops To Ukraine Risk Sparking A Major Crisis
I was told this when in France last week….I didn’t think Micron was crazy enough, but was assured he is both crazy enough and very desperate, as his Globalist dreams are collapsing all around him…I was also told it would be the Foreign Legion, not regular troops, just like this article says.
This is just the mission creep that sets off major Wars……
