True that Trump does not want forever wars but does not mind a weekend jolly. He basically ended Gaza conflict by flattening it over a weekend, that no one else wanted to do, wiped out entire Iranian govt over weekend and population are likely to rise up in a week once he has done the job nobody else was willing to do. 81% of Iranian population supported recent uprising so government troops will switch sides quickly. Trump sorted Venezuala in a day and he now has Venezuala changing their tack and cooperating to some extent. Cuba is close to falling and all he did was cut off oil supplies. In Mexico he removed drug lords and stopped a lot of drug activity into US. People might not like him but he is doing the job everyone probably secretly wanted to him to do but did not want the political fallout themselves, forever kicking can down the road making suffering of people worse. Anyway Metals is sadly well behind market and a screaming bargain with a PE of 1 next year. Bonkers valuation and cheapest gold miner in the FTSE by a long way. Sure we have some execution risk but Ortega is smart. He has minimal drug issues and Curried up to Trump with political prison release. Trump knows Ortega without Venezuala/Cuba will continue to change tack and he is an easy target. And our cash balance will balloon as gold rises over $5380!
