Inciteful explanation on what happened at the summit

https://x.com/TheRicanMemes/status/1956191505934069769

Sean12345, Trump has got a 7 3 offsuit you lemon, marginally better than Zelensky's 7 2 offsuit. Putin is holding suited A J.

Sean, Christians are getting targeted and murdered in Syria, Orthodox churches raised to the ground in Ukraine, but no uproar, never makes the news.

Off message. The SMO is 3 1/2 years in. You've had more than enough time to educate yourself in that time. What I find laughable is so many people spouting the collective West position on this war recognise Biden, Johnson, Starmer, Macron, Zelensky are as shady as it gets, yet on Russia/ Ukraine war are so brainwashed with Putin being the bad guy they're willing to believe every word that comes out of that group of corrupt co-collaborators and the rest of the as corrupt self serving unelected bureaucrats that stick their noses in to issues that are none of their business.

I think a ceasefire is unlikely. Trump stated he'd have an idea after a couple of minutes whether there was common ground. Its more likely they look to reach a Memorandum of Understanding ( MOU) whereby Trump will pass this information on to the other idiots involved. The return meeting in Russia will then be used to move on from this if there is buy in from all parties. The process won't be quick, and it's in Putins interests to delay at least until the weather changes and effectively slows down the Russian rate of advancement due to the terrain getting boggy and muddy. The Ukrainian military is on the brink of collapse, the front has multiple gaps that can be exploited and cutting through a few of these could see Russia almost at the point of having the job done. No way should Putin want negotiations to conclude on Friday.

I'm not hanging my hat on these talks leading to a ceasefire. Trump doesn't want to be holding the baton if/when Ukraine collapses and give Russia a full victory. The Russian constitution sees the occupied territories as Russian. The Ukrainian constitution won't allow them to cede those territories. Trump will say I did what I could, I'm walking away and has already stated today that if Zelensky and the EU want to continue with the conflict he's ok with selling them weapons to do so. America wants the optics of being out of this whilst it focuses on China, but it's hands will still be all over this conflict. US policy is the destruction of Russia, and targeting its borders and allies so that it is fighting on all fronts is part of the plan, hence the war with Iran using Israel as a proxy, the 99 year Zangezur corridor lease, regime change in Syria, threats to Kalilingrad. The list goes on. Its hard to know whether Trump is fully aware of how deep this all goes. Hopefully he's oblivious, genuinely wants to broker peace and is open to being educated by Putin so that between them they manage to put an end the world war the secret services, the ngo's and deep state are trying so hard to start.

Everyone lauding Trump should realise he is in self preservation mode. He has had the option of listening to his advisors Witcoff and vice president or Graham, Robin, Kellogg and the neo- cons. He chose the neo- cons and in doing so could no longer claim the war wasn't his and blame it all on Biden. It appears he has been made aware that Ukraine will collapse within 3-6 months, and Russia will be able advance to the Dinipro River, move on to Kiev and possibly target Odessa. Such a situation will be a humiliating loss for Trump, and he can't let that happen. Putin, in agreeing to discuss terms with Trump is giving Trump an opportunity to have a face saving ' peacemaker ' scenario, where he recommends to the green dwarf to accept a deal based on the current state of the war, with Russia taking all territories with existing Russian boots on the ground. The dwarf has already rejected ceding any territory giving Trump the opportunity to walk having 'done everything he can'. With Trump walking away, and Ukraine supported by EU countries, the final collapse will lay at the EU's door with Trump distanced. Dont be surprised by a false flag prior to, during the meeting by the desperate EU backers/ Ukraine desperate to keep the conflict going.

Aldebaran, you are entitled to your opinion. What makes you think anyone invested here is interested in it? As they say, opinions are like ars******, everyone's got one. You come on here, spouting total conjecture as fact, insinuating that your analysis is superior to that of investors that have obsessively researched EUA and regularly discover information not in the public domain. Yet you likely give a cursory glance over a few comments by the lowest common denominator, obviously don't have an idea of the tier 1 assets and the AISC in mining what's in the ground and arrogantly assert it to be a money sacking dog. I'm not a psychologist, but I'm sensing classic narcissist behaviour.

'If this story is true, it is essential that Trump Starmer Macron and the German leader are in the room as well.'

Probably the stupidest comment I've ever read on here, and it was already a really low bar.

Putin knows this is going nowhere and he’s been warned if this carries on the gloves are off !

Russia will not back down until their objectives are met. Trump is as deep into this war as Biden, it will soon be his war if it isn't already. He could have backed out early, his involvement during his first term in office papered over when the baton was handed to Sleepy Joe, but he's had the baton back and is running the final leg. Trump is throwing his toys out of the pram and threatening nuclear ffs. What business is it of the USA's? Threatening all out nuclear war because his deal making skills have been shown up on the world stage. The guy is an idiot and I had hopes he might be the real deal, though I did also have my concerns as well. His arguments don't stack up. Israel can genocide Gaza, but Russia can't target military targets? Russia have rejected the Kellogg ceasefire deal time and time again, yet that's the only offer Trump's team put on the table. A ceasefire for 30 days that would enable Ukraine to regroup, bunker up, get weapons where they need them most and be re-armed by NATO and the collective west. They're trying to play Putin for a fool and behaving like spoilt children because they're not clever enough to kid him again. Remember, Putin has been played by the West since 2014, and naively he thought he could resolve the issues by diplomacy, but the West took the opportunity to arm and train Ukraine so they were strong militarily when this proxy war commenced. I'd be astounded if this war ended when Trumps ultimatum kicks in. Russia need this concluded to their objectives now because they know when Germany have rebuilt their army, and the UK talking about conscription to take on Russia and the USA being behind this in the first place, the next time the collective West take them on, they'll be stronger for it.

6.30-7.40 mins especially, but continues up to 10 minute mark. Why India is unlikely to bow to Trumps pressure on buying Russian oil.

Could it be that shares are being syphoned out of AIM to the AIX, but not attributed to buyers yet in order to keep the SP low whilst large orders are being filled? It just doesn't make sense that not a single trade has been made thus far.

Or is this nothing to do with giving the opportunity for sanctioned parties to buy back in, but entirely a move to allow for the assets to be sold without any condition, restrictions and difficulties that may have previously been in force.

For me the current SP decline following AIX listing is good news for now. Have funds from a property sale hopefully landing in 2 weeks and planning to top up my holding to 2m shares (or more) depending on SP. For anyone holding for the prize, don't sweat the short term, though I get it, we should have been enjoying the fruits of our investment a long, long time ago.

Roger,

'10 % is the higher end, its generally closer to 5%.'

Any ideas what the %age is for open pit mining? I'd imagine the lower the AISC (some of the assets we have are very low) , the % might exceed 10%, though this is entirely conjecture on my part - I'm sitting in the car park of Bicester village with the air con on cooling the dog down whilst my wife and daughter have one last look, so I've not researched it

Will AIX listed trades show and be distinguishable from AIM trades? Would be interesting to see if there's a buying frenzy whether it's from sanctioned parties buying in or from non sanctioned people seeing it as an even more compelling proposition.

Military Summary

The war won't end unless the root causes Putin has outlined are met, and Ukraine is demilitarised, and the Banderists restricted from positions of political power. There will be no unconditional ceasefire either, which is what Ukraine want, but Putin won't allow as it will enable Ukraine to regroup and build up it's supply of weapons via EU/ Nato countries. Russia have absorbed these sanctions previously and all the analysts I follow suggest they'll be able to continue absorbing further sanctions. Russia's long term existence depends entirely on successfully ensuring the objectives of the SMO are realised - no NATO, de-nazification, demilitarisation.
