The news over the last week has been dominated by the conflict between Iran and Israel. However, as serious from a US/EU point of view, is the fact that it is now clear that Ukraine is not only losing the war but is careering towards collapse.

Meanwhile the political/economic situation remains very fraught. Someone with very deep pockets is buying huge quantities of gold. Is that because they know something about the political, military or economic situation that we don't?

Let's talk about all of this tonight.

The use of the Oreshnik is always a major escalation not fully appreciated by those who casually encourage its employment. It is only the second time in history that an intermediate range nuclear-capable strategic missile has been used in combat (the first was the initial use of Oreshnik back on November 21, 2024.)

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
