MM3 – yes it was Dec. 1st and maybe Russia is playing the dis info game, but to buy gold and then just turn around and sell it doesn’t make sense. Selling UST’s does. You’re right, we’ll see.
Ipso – Iran attacking Israel would be suicide. Israel has between 200 and 800 nukes at their disposal. We don’t know exactly how many because they don’t have to disclose anything like every other nation in the region. Far more likely Israel attacks Iran IMHO.
