🚨 METALLICA just dropped a history bomb in Athens 🔥 Kirk Hammett on stage last night in front of ~80k fans : “Every time I pick up my guitar I’m playing scales named by your ancestors… Music theory was created right here in Athens by Pythagoras. Every time I play, I’m playing GREEK CULTURE with my scales. I salute you for inventing the music we’re playing right now!”❤️ Ancient Greece didn’t just give us philosophy and democracy — they gave us the DNA of metal itself. Tell me again how modern Greeks have “nothing to do” with the ancients? 😂 Metallica spells the truth. #MetallicaInAthens #GreekMetal #AncientGreeceLives #PythagorasWouldBeProud #Metallica They had another surprise for the Greek fans when they played Zorba the Greek 🎶 🎸 ⬇️

This is why I am so bullish on commodities. For decades, countries held US Treasuries and trusted the US Navy to keep global trade moving. That model is breaking. Drone warfare means trade routes can no longer be guaranteed everywhere. And if ships cannot move, financial reserves are not enough. You cannot grow wheat with Treasuries. You cannot fuel cars with Treasuries. Every country now needs real inventories again: oil, refined products, fertilizer and critical commodities.
