If Israel and Turkey get into a shooting war then I guess we’ll be obliged to come to Turkey’s aid seeing that they are a NATO member. 🙂
Turkey has a very large military establishment. I think they would be too big a bite for Israel and they know it. At least I hope so!

We give them the money to turn back around and buy our military aircraft so they can start a war using our military. Such a deal.
They’ll get their war with Turkey, that’s guaranteed, but we won’t be around – or at least in any condition to fight it with them.
I wonder if people realize they have the same population as Papa New Guinea?
2033 sounds about right.

but no refining capacity for the type we produce. We haven’t built a refinery in 50 years. Brilliant. So, when we say we’re energy independent, not exactly true. If we were, we shouldn’t see rising gasoline prices.
I’m still wondering how they think they are going to power the 3K data centers they say they’re going to build.
Perhaps, when they do the alien disclosure, they’re going to say “BTW, the aliens have offered us new energy technology that’s going to power the world.”
Don’t laugh, disclosure is coming very soon.

I’m concerned because I’m so long. The good guys say 300 to 500 dollar silver by end of summer and the bad guys say we’re headed to zero or something very much lower. Place your bets Maybe they run it sideways and they rip off everyone in options

80% enrichment does not equate to 80% efficiency. My impression was that when people say the Hiroshima bomb was 80% uranium 235, they’re usually talking about the uranium enrichment, not the efficiency. The fuel purity. Enrichment is like the octane rating in gasoline. Most likely, these arab chumps will deliver the bomb in a truck, and it won’t be something coming from a missile or an airplane. So they may not even care about making it to 80%. Just send it. If we think about it the little boy was delivered and exploded in the air, it didn’t hit the ground. The Arab plan is to inflict maximum casualties and fallout.

Historian Bill Federer:
“They say that by 2030, there will be a majority Muslim population in Europe, and they’ll just flat out vote in Sharia law. It won’t just be no go zones where they take over entire neighborhoods in Paris or around Belgium and London. No, they’ll take over entire cities.
And people forget, Egypt was completely Christian for six centuries. It’s not anymore.
All of North Africa was completely Christian for six centuries. It’s not anymore. All of Turkey, all seven churches as mentioned in the book of Revelation, were all in Turkey. And they were all taken over by the Muslim Turks.
Constantinople was the largest Christian city in the world, and the largest Christian church in the world for hundreds of years was the Hagia Sophia. And it got turned into a mosque.
And so they want to do the same thing with the Vatican. And recently they allowed Muslim prayers in the Vatican. So we see that it’s headed in that direction.“

You’d think it has to help us at some point! 🙂
Today might not be so bad. My PF just went positive by a few bucks.

Amazing “free cash flow” chart. I wonder if it will ever change the mindset of the institutional money managers??
And will it ever trickle down to the junior producers and explorers?
Not holding my breath….

BREAKING: According to Israeli Military Sources, the procurement of 25 addtional F-15IA and 50 more F-35I Adir fighter jets for the Israeli Air Force is a part of major plan for preparing the IDF for war against Turkey in mid-2030s. The Israelis government views Turkey and then Saudi Arabia, backed by Pakistan, as future major regional enemies of Israel in Middle East.

We already have the plague here in wildlife. For that reason kids have to be careful hunting rabbits etc. more so northern Calif. Occasionally but rarely a person can get it. Because of antibiotics the only way it could be a concern is if infected rats got it in the inner city in southern Calif like typhus did and spread rapidly due to the population coming from all over and particularly due to all the homeless and trash and now abandoned buildings in some parts of towns. I don’t know what happened here but the homeless camps disappeared. I know one reason was they’d give them a time to get out so they keep having to move around. It’s tough on many because their not chosing to be homeless they just got priced out and only way they can save money or afford to eat. More and more people are teaming up or kids not leaving home helping parents because rents ridiculous then gas and with it food prices, med insurance, car insurance all higher than other places thanks to our demoncratic government. When I went to southern Calif a few yrs ago I saw a big white rat crawling around at night outside a big hotel next to Disneyland in Orange country near LA then disappear I think in the street water drainage system.

But it won’t be as efficient as higher rates. Little Boy was 80%.
The puzzle is that Manhattan only needed four years to make a bomb starting completely from scratch. Iran’s program started in 1957, so even with all the on/offs of the program, revolution, sanctions, inspections etc. they should be way ahead of what is claimed. Enrichment isn’t rocket science, just long, tedious running of centrifuges.

that’s much higher than needed in power plants.
Iran’s Enriched Uranium Stockpile
Current Status
Iran possesses a significant stockpile of enriched uranium, specifically:
Total Amount: 972 pounds (440.9 kilograms) of uranium enriched to 60% purity.
Potential for Weaponization: This level of enrichment is a short technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90%.
Implications
The enriched uranium stockpile could enable Iran to potentially construct up to 10 nuclear bombs if it decides to pursue weaponization. This situation raises concerns among international observers regarding nuclear proliferation and regional security.

Forgot to mention though they might be focused on a conventional air strike when it could be entirely something else. They “military” probably do know I hope but the media or what they tell us doesn’t.

That’s a interesting point but since I don’t need to know too much because it’s not in my field of job description I don’t focus on the details. So I kinda looked it up. The mountains are strategic protecting the facilities from bombing. So with tunnels scientists could travel underground and don’t even know where they go or building somewhere else while Isreal and US focused on what they do know it’s possible. I don’t know how far those satellites can go.
- laboratory-level work could be conducted clandestinely. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
Detection and Countermeasures
- Intelligence Monitoring: U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies utilize high-resolution satellite imagery to track new tunnel entrances, ventilation shafts, and the movement of specialized personnel.
- Bunker-Buster Limits: Most conventional bunker-busters, like the GBU-57, can only penetrate a few dozen meters of hard rock. Facilities buried hundreds of meters deep under granite, such as the Yazd fortress, are largely immune to current conventional air strikes. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Thousands of centrifuges, running for years, involving tens of thousands of people. You can’t keep it secret. So IF they have a programme, Israel and the US (and anyone else interested) would know about it. It’s not a Breaking Bad operation.
If they didn’t have it, there wouldn’t have been any point to the war. Ah, unless the point of the war is totally unrelated to military objectives; such as economic objectives that can be obtained by restricting the supply of oil, natural gas (especially), helium, aluminium, water etc. to China, foreign chip manufacturers, India, Europe, while at the same time boosting Russia’s economy with higher prices of all of the above. And weakening European and Asian economies en masse. MAGA upsized.

I think Iran is very mountainous but I’m not sure what you’re relating that to?

Plus don’t they have a lot of mountains in Iran and neighboring countries?
