What Drugs are you on Troagen ?

Poland has 206,000 Finland 280,000 , that's 486,000.....How's that bigger than Russia's, when Russia has deployed over 1million on the SMO alone and that's only a portion of Russia's army not the the entire Russian army

Dietch.....You are Massively overestimating the strength of the Europeans so how they can stamp out this Russian fire is most unclear.

Let us, for example, take one of the most Powerful & Heavyweight European Countries.....Great Britain, 'Front Line Fighting Strength' ( not total army size) of 33,000 (3 Divisions & 1 Brigade) 80 Useable tanks & perhaps 120 useable fighter jets,

, that's the entire countries military might-barely enough to hold a few small villages in Ukraine ( for example Russia deployed 200,000 to attack Povorsk a short while back and has deployed over 1million to this SMO, thousands of tanks and masses of all other military equipment), so these Europeans that your talking about all have tiny miniscule insignificant armed forces much smaller than the tiny, insignificant British Armed Force and without the US they are 100% defenceless and have No Air Defence plus they are all but out of ammunition after giving most of their tiny stockpiles to Ukraine over the last 4 years so don't think Europe can stamp out the Russian Orcs, they can't.

It would take around 10 years for Europe to build up their forces before they could even think about serious military actione abroad against foes like Russia.

Europe is nothing and has no power anymore that's why they have no seat at the peace talks & are totally bypassed on all issues regarding Ukraine.

Yes, these talks are indeed completely pointless and a waste of everyone's time. Its just going to be the usual 'talks were constructive' 'progress made' etc, usual baloney that we've had at all the previous 9/10 peace talks meetings.

Both sides have Absolutely No Intention Whatsoever of making peace yet and are simply going through the motions to make it look like they are trying for peace when the reality is nothing could be further from the truth.

I'm surprised the US is still giving them both their time. Leave them both alone, No More Military Equipment should be sold to Ukraine through Nato/Starlink should be stopped & no more Military Intelligence for Ukraine.Ukraine will then seek peace in a day.

And the US should stop all communications with Russia, ramp up sanctions and retain the full sanctions for 15 years minimum after the war ends unless Putin agrees peace with 3 months.

Watch how Quick both Ukraine and Russia strike a peace deal then.The US needs to stop mollycoddling both Ukraine & Russia and toughen up on both.They are both playing Trump for a fool.

Also , Most Europeans, like myself, do not wish to pay for a lost war year after year after year after year.It makes no sense.

If Ukraine wants to continue fighting the losing battle to the last man, let them but I & most Europeans, do not wish to fund this pointless slaughter.

Dietch, many here fantasise about Russia packing up one day and withdrawing from those former Ukrainian regions but the reality is Ukraine has lost, granted its not a complete surrender but they have lost a large chunk of their country to the Orcs and they have no prospect whatsoever of getting it back, even worse, they are on the back foot across many parts of the battle front and have lost around 5600sqkm ( 2160 sq miles ) in the last year alone and over 20% of the country in total.

So unfortunately, the loser never gets to state the peace terms and the winner never accepts the terms the loser presents.

Thats just the way it is, sure, its not fair but its the reality whether we like it or not so that's why Russia will not accept peace terms from Ukraine.

Can't blame Ukraine for trying their hand though but its a complete waste of time as Russia will not even listen to the losers terms let alone accept them.

The Ukrainian statement comes with Zs usual Caveat,..That the Referendum & Election depends on Russia accepting the peace terms, which it 100% doesn't so we can forget Zs latest delaying tactic as its completely meaningless and just more waffle to outwardly show the are seeking peace whilst knowing full well Russia will never accept Ukrainian peace terms.

Whether its soon or not soon, my investment plan is to stay in until they drill,be it 3-6 months.

Of course, the delays are unfortunate and no fault of Tower's but on the flip side they have given me the opportunity to increase my holding on the frequent dips, thus, giving me more exposure to the upside once approvals are granted,and granted they will be, its just a case of waiting.

Perhaps Tony would be better selling up and putting his money into an interest bearing account as it's safer and more predictable as AIM doesn't seem a suitable place for novices like yourself to be putting their money.

If we have another 1 or 2 small raises whilst awaiting approvals, the impact, as seen by the last few raises, is negligible as investors know the prize is coming and its just a matter of waiting . That's not to say there will be more raises- just if there are, the impact on our investment will be minimal.

The smart money will know approval is coming, even if it takes another month or two and the reward on approval far outweighs the insignificant effect of another small raise or two.

This will multi-bag up to spud once approvals are given.Ignore the doomsayers and focus on the fact approval is coming and Thali will be drilled !

Yes, that's certainly possible Tony but the raises are small and have minimal impact on the shares and the reward on approval will far outweigh any small interim raises so on balance those patient enough to wait until approvals will be handsomely rewarded from the current share price.

Yes, that's certainly possible Tony but the raises

Yes, some posters thought I had made up those claims and was deramping , now they know I was telling the truth.

So the order of events is.....Cabinet Reshuffle(time unknown) , then Government Approvals ( time unknown) , then, once approvals are given, the search for a rig can begin and the signing of a rig contract (1/2month ? ) will give a date to spud.

. Spud should hopefully be a few months after rig contract signed.

Spud's still possible for Q2 if these catalysts move sharpish so a little more patience is required, nothing can be done by Tower until approvals are given and that's out of Tower's hands.

Everything still to play for here and the shares will rise sharply once approvals have been granted but first we must keep our eyes on the cabinet reshuffle as that's what gives the green light for approvals and that's Tower's next milestone along the road to production.

Good Luck All.

The Cameroon Elections /Polls to renew the 180 seats of the National Assembly could be in May or August 2026 .

The new cabinet will be after these polls /elections.

So anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's.

President Biya stated the new cabinet would be announced in a few days 42 days ago but he's clearly changed his mind so will he now pick March/May or August ?

Insiders say the Cabinet will be announced after the March Polls.

So the 501 not the 510 was supposed to drill the Thali well for Tower Q4 25. Well, that never happened and I haven't heard anything on what rig will drill Thali since, has anyone else as I haven't seen Tower RNS anything regarding new drill dates/rigs other than the Q1 26 target( no rig named)which has long gone now and the Q2 26 drill slot hasn't long left before its also too late as several months are required before spud at best- once approval is given.

Is this rig contract posters are referring to the one that was contracted to drill Thali in 'Q4 25', coz if it is, I don't want to state the obvious but Q4 25 has gone and so has Q1 26 as far as drilling Thali is concerned or is there another drill contract that I am unaware of ?

Talk of rigs is premature until government approval. We are now in the 13 month and still waiting on government approvals

I have no inside information .

Its just common sense that you can't sign a drilling contract with drilling dates without government approval.

Signed on principle of what ?

You can't sign a drill contract with a drilling date until you get government approval.

28000 Post Troll, the US military equipment is aiding Ukraine, if the US pulled the plug on this military equipment, or even just Starlink, Ukraine surrenders on the spot. Thus, the US has the tools to stop the war in a blink of the eye, if it so chooses. That's the point, not who's paying for it, even though the US is still paying 60% ( $120mln) of the $200 Billion worth of equipment Nato have given Ukraine !

Obviously if you can show me and the board the rns that shows the 'signed rig contract' then I will hold my hands up but I just cannot see how you can sign a rig contract 'before' government approval?

Offler ..That was a reference to the black holes in the Hundreds of Billions of the war funding Ukraine has received , around 20 senior officials have been sacked or resigned for corruption since the war and around $100 Billion of the war funds are unaccounted for ?

Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world for good reason.
