that’s where the RNLI dumped another couple of hundred invaders under police protection recently, isn’t it?
So you don’t reckon that the UK could mount another Falklands style response anymore? Like when the fleet left at three days’ notice to fight half way around the world? Of course, that was during the tenure of the last Prime Minister, all the government leaders after Thatcher being distinctly fourth, or at best, third rate.
However, I think that the days of carriers are over, and that the Iran war confirms that. After the laundry fire the US kept them well away from the conflict. The Russians don’t have a single aircraft carrier now. They, and other naval craft, have been made obsolete by hypersonic missiles for which there is currently no defence. The art of war has changed significantly, which is the reason why the UK can interfere so much from afar. Think about it – the fate of Ukraine is in the hands of one man. One man could stop the war tomorrow. The area that almost everyone agrees has been critical to Ukraine’s survival, and a hindrance to Russia’s success (although they were stealing it for a while) is Starlink. Without Musk the Ukrainian front line would evaporate. Drone warfare and missiles (supported by the US, UK, France etc. etc.) have taken over as the main form of attack, not big guns and aircraft (remember Saddam’s three stage gun capable of hitting Israel?). Defenses are now other missiles with lasers becoming a possibility, or for drones paradoxically moving back to the 12 bore, which is just a glorified easier-to-reload blunderbuss.
Don’t poke the bear.

only not as strong. SLV pretty much the same. Shares not trading with anything, there’s zero interest in them.
We look to be dead money unless the dollar and rates ease up, even then, the SM will have to be up as well.
Can’t watch this for more than a few minutes at a time. Too disgusting.

Re War talk
I really wish someone could explain what it is all about…..The UK has never been weaker….it is a sad joke…..I recently docked in Portsmouth our major Naval port and as we did, we passed both out Carriers tied up in port, with rust all over them…we only have enough planes for one of them and neither looked remotely ready for sea, let alone war.
Plus we have no where near enough ships ie Destroyers/Frigates etc to defend them…..they would be sunk within minutes in any battle.
The Army has less than 60,000 troops, most nowhere near battle ready and the RAF has 111 Typhoons and shares 47 F35’s with the Navy
Russia meanwhile has 1.5 million Troops, 1500 fighter jets and 115 bombers…….and we are facing up to that…..
Anyone in the UK advocating war with Russia today, needs being put in a rubber room.
Then I see this

I’d say that article from zerohedge is just a heads up, this is coming. Couple that with Goldie’s video of smaller tactical nukes and I think this is how it ends – or starts WWIII.
Hope not, but boys will be boys.
Rates all the way up to 5.15%.
I took a shot at some EQX for the day, but that’s all it will end up being. Hopefully we can find some footing here. The dollar is relentless.

Cant get good help these days, especially when you outsource. Where does China get off confiscating it. Were like their UFOs, Everytime they get some parts or a plane dropped in their territory they rush to confiscate it a copy it. Why don’t we accidentally send them those exploding paint boxes.

Al Hadath: Israeli source said an additional round of strikes against Iran seems to be a matter of time. Source added that Iran is intensifying the transfer and fortification of the Natanz nuclear project. Israel does not see a real chance of reaching an agreement between the US and Iran, and that the US wants to end the Iran war with a political agreement or a decisive attack that topples the regime. On further strikes, the Israeli source said they will strike Iranian nuclear facilities again if Iran crosses the red lines, with or without US involvement.

#DXY – Almost every time price has pushed above the upper Bollinger Band, we’ve seen a local top in the dollar shortly after.
Now we’re seeing the same setup again, while RSI is also pushing into its ceiling.
Will this time be any different?

80% drop, gee, I wonder why? We’ve used the dollar as a weapon, been involved in forever wars for the last 25 years, and have a corrupt political system that steals from the treasury for personal gain. Not to mention NGO’s that seek to destabilize governments around the world with our leftist LGBTQIA ideology, among other things. Throw in tariffs and you have a winner.
Bessent’s $6 billion doesn’t make a dent.
Maddog – attacking our economy before the midterms would not have been possible if we didn’t start a war with Iran. Our economy would have been booming, oil prices down, and inflation eliminated. Doesn’t matter how much we hate Iran or feared the nuclear boogeyman that has been around since the 90’s,, this was bad timing and a self-inflicted wound by this administration.
All that being said it has all been planned since the beginning of time.

The Hormuz Letter
@HormuzLetter
BREAKING: China has taken possession of sensitive US F-35 stealth parts mistakenly diverted to Hong Kong while being shipped from Australia to the US, including a cockpit canopy and a weapons-bay door both coated in radar-absorbing material, and has not returned them, per Bloomberg.
A US-contracted UPS aircraft was carrying the parts from Australia to the US for inspection. The aircraft stopped in South Korea and was routed from there to Hong Kong, with no explanation for either leg.
It comes as Xi arrives in the US today for a state visit with Trump.

We don’t have info they can get but the attack on Iran seemed to be revenge based for the Oct attack on Israel and on e they start in on something they don’t seem to know when to stop. They are still in the first testament a eye for a eye. Although we had Obama and other dumping Somalis one of the most corrupt countries and a Muslim mafia upon us here in the US. Between the two Id pick the Jewish. Muhammad is nothing but a counterfeit attempted copy of the real prophets and just the opposite of spiritual or the prophets and Jesus. Chasing around desires of the flesh, even children, there is no flesh on the other side but he comes up with 72 girls. You can see the kind of crowd he attracted. No town is safe with them in it. It’s all about control and bullying of women and their rules to suit them while they run around do what they want and nothing said about without accountability. Because it’s coming from below not above. M was a criminal and con artist that could only attract the worst kind of people and then normalized it when nothing normal about it.

TORONTO, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC) (“Kinross” or the “Company”) today provided an operational, guidance and return of capital update. The Company now expects full-year 2026 and 2027 attributable production to be 2% to 3% below the low end of the previously disclosed guidance, with approximately 1.84 to 1.86 million gold equivalent ounces (“Au eq. oz.”) expected per year. The change to the Company’s 2026 guidance is concentrated at two smaller assets, La Coipa and Round Mountain, and is the result of extreme weather and operational challenges. The balance of the portfolio continues to perform well, led by Paracatu and Tasiast, the Company’s two largest, lowest-cost operations. Kinross expects third-quarter 2026 attributable production of approximately 425,000 Au eq. oz1.
Adjusting the Company’s 2026 cost guidance as a result of the updated production estimates, attributable production cost of sales1, 2 is expected to be approximately $1,420 to $1,460 per Au eq. oz. sold and attributable all-in sustaining cost1, 2 is expected to be approximately $1,850 to $1,900 per Au eq. oz. sold. Total operating and capital costs for the year remain on track despite higher oil prices.
Reflecting its strong cash flow outlook and balance sheet strength, Kinross is increasing its return of capital target from 40% to 50% of free cash flow to shareholders for 2026.

Wow.
Foreign demand for U.S. debt collapsed 80%!
– T-bill purchases fell from $250.5B to just $49.4B in a year.
– Long-term U.S. debt purchases also fell 46%, from $456B to $246.6B.
That’s a $410B reversal in foreign demand in just one year.
And the U.S. still has to finance record amounts of new debt.
Short-term repositioning? Or a longer term shift?

Ps Keep a eye on gas and heating oil stocks to help offset costs this winter where you are. Hopefully El Nino will help make it milder. Maybe Chat can zero in on your state and city to get a general idea.
