Good YouTuber: Kazakhstan Just BETRAYED Russia - Takes gunpowder out of Putin’s Hands

The ongoing moves by the Kazakh Gov towards the West is good for EST, especially in such a slow-moving industry like copper exploration. Makes the loss I am sitting on a little more palatable.

I have found Perplexity to be a useful tool, but it has an Achilles' heel: it transcribes all YouTube videos and accepts the content as if it were from a reliable source. With so much clickbait on there, it is returning some nonsense, especially with new or breaking news-type content.

Trump also swore he would be faithful to his wives...

A major five-part series from Sky News and Tortoise which imagines how a Russian attack on the UK could play out – and invites real-life former ministers, military chiefs and other experts to figure out how to defend the country.

Written and presented by Sky News' security and defence editor, Deborah Haynes.

I have not started listening yet but could be compelling listening; the link is to Episode 1

I missed this... "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), which was played by a marching band at a parade held for his birthday in the town of Palm Beach, Florida. The song became an anthem of sorts during the Vietnam War era, and its lyrics criticize the hypocrisy of people who avoid military service, especially through privilege or political connections.

hahahahahaha.... etc

So much for Trump being Mr No More Wars...

Israel Is Running Low on Defensive Interceptors, Official Says

https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/israel-is-running-low-on-defensive-interceptors-official-says-fd64163d

IF this is true, then expect a ramp-up by Israel... got to bomb the missile launchers to bits before it is too late. And Trump will get drawn in as the US does not have unlimited supplies.

MAFL have 100k units of Sprott Physical Silver... their portfolio is ticking along nicely. 23p on the Bid after I sold some at 20.6p before the end of the last tax year to clear a loss and max out the CGT allowance. Still got quite a few of them [most in an ISA]... they could have some good news this year about their approx 20% interest in Golden Sun Resources [which is Costa Rico's largest mining company].

'Yesterday at the meeting of the leaders of the Group of Seven (G7), a forum of democracies with advanced economies, President Donald Trump told reporters: “The UK is very well protected. You know why? Because I like them, that's why. That's the ultimate protection.”

Commenters often note that Trump talks like a mob boss, but rarely has his organized-crime style of governance been clearer than in yesterday’s statement.'

This might interest some...

'Comet is a new browser for agentic search built by the Perplexity team. We'll be rolling out access to new users every week.'

This could be search on steroids... useful for interpreting a mining RNS or similar. Who knows how long the wait list will be so it might be worth signing onto the list if trying better free tools interests you.

And you can sell for 50% higher than the placing less than 2 weeks ago... Are punters stupid for overpaying; were management stupid for underpricing the placing or were management happy to get the placing away at mates rates and care little for retail shareholders?

Brave... Have a look at Perplexity's answer to 'how exposed in wizz airlines to conflict in the middle east'

Perplexity is useful for queries like this, as it provides clickable links to the underlying sources. I expect Trump to start bombing Iran's underground nuke facilities in the near future which will raise tensions even more.

As Air Force One is about to depart Calgary, President Trump criticizes French President Macron and says he isn’t leaving early because of a ceasefire on Israel-Iran. Instead, Trump says it is “much bigger than that.”

This Is the Real Reason the United States Is Entering the War

Sounds to me as though Trump has been persuaded that the time has come for Bunker Busting Bombs... The markets love uncertainty!

The grift that keep giving... Idiots drunk on MAGA juice popping red pills will be honoured to by a Trump phone... same phone with original branding is $169 0n Amazon. Made in China as well

Maybe the phone will be better than the 'rump' watch?
