Silver the STRONG sister

Posted by Buygold @ 10:23 on June 3, 2025  

Haven’t said that in years. AG & HL are back to flat after the early hit.

Gold and gold shares lagging.

We’ll see what happens as the first hour ends. I’m sticking with “buy the dip” for now.

Ipso – the Graddy chart seems like it might be prophetic.

Buy the dip?

Posted by Buygold @ 8:01 on June 3, 2025  

I think it could be prudent. The dollar is strengthening but the metals are holding firm.

We may take a hit today but hopefully yesterday was a game changer. Certainly for the shares.

No follow through today

unless the Crimex musters some folks that want to cover.

The dollar is gaining and rates falling. SM the same. Oil flat. PM shares losing ground. We can probably watch the shares to see if the selling will intensify.

Nice pop yesterday and we’re not close to giving it all back. Let’s hope it stays that way.

Posted by Buygold @ 16:40 on June 2, 2025  

I’d hope so. I’m not sure this was just a war bump, volume was great across the board and never wavered. Nothing is overbought. Hard to see much in the way of news that is going to hurt us. HUI should run to the old highs above 600, nothing standing in its way now, the trend line on the HUI chart is almost vertical.

Silver should breach $35 in the overnights. We’ll see if the manipulators can mount an offense.

Exciting stuff, hope that the big money is finally joining the fray. Obviously, there’s still some tech buyers out there as somehow they rallied the SM.

$4K and $40 by the end of summer? It could happen.

Mr.Copper, thank you very much.

And thanks for your back up offer, but the answer given seems to be an unbiased view, which is what I was wanting to see if Chat GPT could give. Whether it could trawl the data and come up with a reasonably objective view rather than the Russia Russia Russia narrative that is mostly rammed down our throat by MSM.

Re Goldman and pensions and Gold……I wish that was anyone other than Goldman.

ferrett @ 4:04 I asked ChatGPT why Europe/NATO signed off on the Minsk agreements when they never had any intention of keeping them,

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 10:18 on June 2, 2025  

The Minsk agreements—Minsk I (2014) and Minsk II (2015)—were ceasefire and political settlement frameworks aimed at resolving the war in eastern Ukraine between the Ukrainian government and Russian-backed separatists. They were signed by representatives of Ukraine, Russia, the OSCE, and leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, with France and Germany acting as mediators in the Normandy Format.

The question of why Europe and NATO countries endorsed the Minsk agreements if they had no intention of enforcing or following through with them is complex and controversial. Here’s a breakdown of the key perspectives and realities:


1. Public Diplomacy vs. Strategic Intent

Many European leaders likely saw Minsk not as a true peace deal, but as a means to buy time and de-escalate an active conflict without direct confrontation with Russia. This was especially true for Germany and France. Statements by some leaders in hindsight support this view:

  • Angela Merkel (2022) said Minsk II was “an attempt to give Ukraine time” to strengthen its military and state institutions.

  • François Hollande made similar comments, implying the West never fully believed Minsk would lead to peace, but rather viewed it as a way to “freeze” the conflict.

So, while publicly supporting Minsk as a peace framework, the private understanding may have been that it was a holding action to avoid war in the short term while preparing for future scenarios.


2. NATO’s Role Was Indirect

NATO, as a military alliance, wasn’t a signatory or official party to the Minsk agreements. However, NATO countries supported Ukraine politically and militarily, even as they paid lip service to Minsk. This support increased significantly after 2015, with training missions, weapons transfers (especially from 2021), and intelligence sharing. Thus, their actions often contradicted the spirit of Minsk, which called for Ukrainian neutrality and negotiations with the Donbas regions.


3. Ukraine’s Position

Ukraine also did not want to implement certain Minsk provisions, especially those requiring special status for Donetsk and Luhansk and negotiations with separatist leaders, which Kyiv viewed as a path to legalizing Russia’s influence within Ukraine’s internal politics. The Ukrainian government signed Minsk under military pressure, especially after battlefield losses like Debaltseve.


4. Russia’s Use of Minsk

Russia also used Minsk tactically. It supported the separatists militarily while pushing Kyiv to negotiate with them, all the while denying direct involvement. It accused the West and Ukraine of sabotaging Minsk, which helped it build a case later (in 2022) for further escalation and eventual full invasion.


5. Was It All a Sham?

From the Russian perspective and among many critics, Minsk was a diplomatic charade—a tool used by Western powers to stall, regroup, and prepare Ukraine for a future confrontation with Russia.

However, from the European view, Minsk offered a diplomatic off-ramp from a dangerous war without openly conceding to Russian aggression. They may have hoped that some kind of “frozen conflict” status could be maintained.


Summary

Europe and NATO-aligned countries supported the Minsk agreements primarily:

  • To avoid immediate war and escalation in 2014–2015.

  • To buy time for Ukraine to build its military capacity.

  • Without serious belief that the political parts of the deal (like autonomy for Donbas) would be implemented.

This duplicity is increasingly acknowledged post-2022, and it’s part of the reason why Russia no longer trusts Western diplomatic overtures. In that sense, the Minsk process is now viewed by many as a failed or even cynical diplomatic exercise, with all sides using it for their own strategic purposes rather than peace.

Let me know if you’d like insights from Russian, Ukrainian, or German documents or officials specifically.
