The US spends 2-3 times more on defence than Europe and the UK combined. It's time for the UK and Europe to level-up on defence. Time to stop the gaslighting. The imbalance cannot continue.

The US urgently needs to shift Europe-Africa resources to Asia, and prepare for China. Not many people know, but Australia today is currently surrounded by Chinese warships in her waters. The danger, now, is not Russia. It's China.

Time for UK and Europe to step up, and start rebuilding their defences. That's why BAE shares have leapt +15% this morning.

The media this morning is reporting that Zelensky will sign the US minerals deal 👍

The absurd European panic and hysteria is over.

The EU or UK didn't magic up an serious extra cash over the weekend.

Trump is the only game in town. And has, once again, won the argument.

Time to close this thread.

..."The theory that NATO has deliberately been moving borders closer to Russia as an 'attack' on Russia is also questionable"...

NATO's frontline was 1,000km from Russia's border in 1955. Today, in 2025, NATO is 0km away (zero). It's a mathematical fact that NATO is moving borders closer to Russia.

And, be careful what you wish for. When China is building hypersonic space nuclear bases in the Chagos and Russian Arctic and Libya in 2050, and saying it's "just for defence, honest", let's see how happy the UK feels about it 👍

..."but lets be clear the US are here to take Ukraine for everything they can"...

Actually, it is a matter of official record that Zelensky offered the minerals deal to the US first, in Sep-Oct 2024. Ukraine offered up its minerals. Not America.

And, to be fair, when you've given a country a quarter of a trillion dollars of cash, weapons, tanks, Javelins, satellites, satellite imagery, Internet, drone tech, planes, plane tech, intelligence, surveillance, intercepts, transport, social security, diplomacy and indirect aid, to a stretch of land 8000km away, the biggest third-party donation to any country on Earth this century, then it's probably not unfair to ask a little something in return.

..."If you think for a minute that Putin can be trusted then you are seriuosly deluded"...

Kazakhstan, Belarus and many other countries live quite peacefully alongside and next door to Russia. Putin and Russia said it would stay militarily out of Georgia since 2009, and he has.

It's time to stop a lot of the preposterous propaganda out there.

Trump did not start the Russia-Crimea-Ukraine war. Trump did not ask for war. Trump did not encourage war. Trump did not start the minerals deal. But Trump is taking a step-by-step process to end the war, and bring peace. That deserves credit.

Have to say, the hysteria here is absolutely ridiculous.

Biden and Boris pushed Ukraine to fight on, 1 million men / women / children are now dead or disabled, and they're somehow hailed as good people.

Trump brings Putin to the table (where all others failed), peace is in sight, deaths will soon fall to zero, but he says a hurty word, and the planet goes ballistic!

Way too many people here swallow the mainline-media clickbait hysteria.

Yes, egg is the most popular functional protein in the entire world. The opportunity is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Avian flu has changed the egg game. A great presentaion (2023) of Onego Bio and its cultivated eggs here.

It's 8.10 to 8.30. Best to use the official London Stock Exchange (LSE), who host the official ANIC listing.

ANIC today (Fri) closed up +7%, at 8.30p on the ask, and 8.10p on the bid. Don't rely on Google for pricing 👍

when your friend gives you $150,000,000,000.00 of free cash, and then you go round your friend's house for tea, and you proceed to **** your friend off in public on camera, it's probably not going to end well 😉

Another very strong finish today, again at the intraday high. Trading volumes once again 3 times higher than normal. Yet more bullish signs 👍

Up +10% now. A frenzy for the shares going on. Staggering volumes today.

Houston... we have lift-off 🚀

Starmer did look small and weak, next to the (much taller) Trump.

A very strong finish today, at the intraday high. Trading volumes once again 3 times higher than normal. Bullish signs 👍

Good news. They got €10m, and could be due another €66m. Using it to build a factory.

Up +15% now. Looks ready for a push into the 8s. Strong momentum, a frenzy of volume. NAV at 16p.

Up +10% now. Big volumes. Huge rerate underway.

Looks ready to reach into the 7s.

ANIC is bouncing back on a NAV rerate (16p), and the groundbreaking Meatly UK launch, the world's first cultured petfood on sale at retail.

Other foodtech in the cultured space is starting to snowball. For example, Ever After Foods (EAF) last week launched its edible packed-bed (EPB), which can reduce cultivated production costs by up to -90%, enhance nutrition, and improve taste.

More products, better products, cheaper production. You can see the emerging, growing industry trends 👍

And keep an eye on Elon Musk. He's going to need unlimited food and protein to feed his Mars colony from the 2030s. Cultured food (and drink) is almost certainly going to be the best solution for that 🚀

US banks and European stocks are back in fashion. It's a perfect storm for LLOY at the moment. If the car loan scandal stays on the backburner, holders could start to dream again about the £1 level by 2026.
