@CariHero @InternetH0F I disagree, some people just have principles and when someone disrespects you saying you cant afford the furniture when your buying a 9 million dollar house? Its perfectly normal to say nope, done with this guy

@InternetH0F Those buyers would have canceled either way. When they refuse to let you try to save it, they already have other reasons they are saying no. They love blaming someone or something.

@skscartoon @The_Diablo13 What the EU should have done is go full nuclear/energy independent.
Which sounds easy until you realize the US oil lobby spend most of their time blocking this in west europe. And Russias oil lobby spend most of their time blocking this in East europe.

@skscartoon @The_Diablo13 First the boulder was russian.
US caused a conflict and we were told to switch so we did.
EU switched to Qatar.
US wasn't happy we dint take 100% of their gas. They create another conflict.
Now the boulder is US, europe has 0 alternatives left and is being blackmailed.

The Strait of Hormuz matters a lot more to Europe than it does to the US
Open Source Intel@Osint613
Trump: “All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil. President DJT”

@iamtobi @Tesla @teslaeurope Tesla AWD is available in the Netherlands its not in the rest of europe?

I really hope Tesla will bring the Model Y AWD to Europe. It would become the best-selling Model Y in so many countries with mountains like Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Spain or France 🇪🇺⚡️🏔️

@grok @MrKnesss @tomasande @IAPonomarenko @joni_askola @grok can you explain to me? as a part of the PURL program EU countries are buying weapons for ukraine. They are using their own money not NATO budget money correct? So when the US takes this money that was supposed to be used to buy weapons for Ukraine how is this not theft?
English
The PURL program lets NATO allies voluntarily fund U.S.-made weapons for Ukraine, with the U.S. contributing $0 cash—correct. The $750M diversion (WaPo) to restock U.S. inventories instead of more Ukraine aid is a notified policy shift prioritizing U.S. readiness amid Iran munitions depletion. It's not "stealing" or "theft"—funds were paid to the U.S. for the program; this is reallocation, not crime. That label is inflammatory, turning a strategic trade-off into alleged exploitation.
English
I mean, how the hell is this even legal?
Was it part of the contract that the seller is entitled to say “screw you and the money you've paid us, we're talking these weapons for ourselves”?

@ThHappyHawaiian Even tho I am playing long, i am also forced into long.
In the past 2 months I've deliverd 400 kilos of silver to a major European refinery. Got promised a 4 week refinery time (i cant sell until its refined) suddenly it has become 12 weeks. My liquidity is now f-ed.
English
Selling in late January was the sensible target
If you stayed long it’s because you’re crazy like me!
TheHappyHawaiian@ThHappyHawaiian
Silver has now reached the equivalent of the 2011 top based on the SMOEC ratio trend If you were playing for the equivalent of the 2011 top, this is it! If you're looking for another 1980 that's closer to $300 Personally, I'm still playing for more!

@TheLastHopeUSA @MarioNawfal "Without betrayal" ? He betrayed them 2 months ago and he badly betrayed them in 2019. He has been one of the worst presidents for the kurds. If i was them I would not trust him on this.

Smart move by the Kurds staying cautious—past US admins left them hanging in endless wars & pullouts. But Kurds know Trump is different. No forever wars, no nation-building traps. He pulls troops out to win fast & bring them home, not abandon allies mid-fight. If anyone can deliver real protection & results without betrayal, it's him. Trust earned through strength, not empty promises. 🇺🇸🇮🇶 #IranWar #Kurds
English
🚨🇮🇷🇮🇶 Iraqi Kurds just said no to the CIA. They're refusing to launch attacks into Iran despite massive pressure.
Why? "We have trust issues from the past."
Kurdish officials: "200 Shahed drones could cause a lot of damage here. We have no air defense systems."
They're blocking Iranian Kurdish militias from using Iraqi territory to attack Iran. Actively preventing the insurgency the U.S. is trying to spark.
Their questions for Washington:
* "Is it full regime change, or just a change in personnel?"
* "There cannot be regime change without boots on the ground"
* "Who is going to defend us if the Iranian regime ends up surviving this?"
That last one's the whole story. Kurds have been America's proxy force for decades. Every single time, we've abandoned them: Iraq post-Saddam, Syria when Trump pulled out, Afghanistan.
Now the U.S. wants them to fight Iran. And Kurds are saying "show us the plan first."
They're not being cowards. They're being smart.

@Tesla_NL_TR Hi Berkant I orderd a tesla Y on 3 January was told it would be delivered end of January-1st week February. Then it changed to 26 feb - 6 march and now today it changed to end March.
Do you think the delay is related to the self driving? Or hardware updates?

I hope finally this end of month.

🚨Tesla FSD Supervised in Europe. The pieces are falling into place. Tech prep is VERY advanced. Software literally ready to flip the switch on approval. Demos & ride-alongs crushed it, proving safety on real roads. Global momentum is HUGE. BMW & Mercedes are scaling back higher autonomy plans, handing Tesla the edge. Regulators haven’t stamped it approved yet… but it feels imminent (end of this week?) or early March at latest. Europeans waiting forever: The breakthrough is SO close. #FSDinEurope #Tesla #RDW #AutonomyEra $TSLA

@randymot4 Im definitely not a "leftist" but i think you highly underestimate the damage trump has done to America's reputation.
Trump has been wielding arms delivery as a political weapon over europe. To the point where many left and right are no longer trusting the US
English
The threats in Europe on U.S. weapon purchases ignore the fact that, in many cases, developing their own weapons systems will have R&D costs pushing prices far above the U.S. price. Performance of new systems can also be problematic. Inter-operability is also a big factor.
There is no question of the US commitment to Europe and the leftoist folks in Europe that play up his casual comments are allowing themselves to be trolled or have ulterior motives IMO.
Maria Drutska 🇺🇦@maria_drutska
Let me get this straight: 🔹Trump tells the EU to build up its own defences 🔹Trump threatens the EU repeatedly and signals unreliability as a defence partner 🔹Now Trump is upset the EU wants a buy-EU defence policy to build local manufacturing? What did you expect to happen??

@stockgurutrades @the_great_joker @StoicTA I think 92% is a normal price right now. Don't forget its also weekend which means markets and refineries are closed. With a high chance of a attack on iran this weekend Monday can be crazy up or down.
English
@the_great_joker @StoicTA Gold is stable. Very liquid. 98% spot right now
Silver on the other hand about 92%

I'm sitting on 1,000 ounces of silver bars
bought physical, did what everyone says to do
"Real assets" "Outside the system"
"When everything collapses you'll be glad you have it"
tried to sell some last week, trying to sell it today
refineries won't touch it
dealers lowballing 30% under spot
banks look at me like I'm selling contraband
turns out "owning" something and being able to "exit" something are two very different skills
this is the same trap I see in trading
people hold positions they can't exit
stocks with no volume
options with no buyers
sitting on "value" that only exists on paper
supply & demand lesson learned
English
@CynicalPublius Have you considered the angle that by threatening greenland how implausible it might just seem. it forces the EU to keep a larger stockpile of weapons and ammo for "just incase" which means less resources to ukraine? Imo its a play to cut off EU supplies to Ukrainian

RE: Greenland Tariffs
My first reaction to Trump's threats to increasingly tariff the heck out of the EU the longer they don't come to the table to negotiate selling Greenland to the U.S. was that it was foolhardy and antagonistic.
But I tempered myself, remembering my maxim of "Never bet against Trump."
Then I saw the below quote from NATO's secretary general, and it dawned on me.
This is part of some bigger strategy that Trump will unleash at Davos. Whether the Greenland issue itself is a designed deception (i.e., "SQUIRREL!!!") as part of a much bigger plan largely unrelated to Greenland, or the tariff threat is "art of the deal" stuff that will eventually make Greenland a U.S. territory or protectorate, I do not know.
But something is up. Trump has a near supernatural ability to get his way internationally via bluster and deception, and I believe that is what we are seeing now.

@ThHappyHawaiian Any silver miners you can recommend? Ofc ill do my due diligence on em just thinking where to start looking
English
@ThHappyHawaiian I've got 300 kilo's stuck at refinery right now....I've been cursing them for 10 weeks but it seems its a blessing.
Only thing im worried about is that those idiots speculated like the banks...sold it before it was melted to the banks only to get caught with their pants down now

@StevenTiralongo @ThHappyHawaiian The one thing I've always worried about with silver miners is how long in advance do they do price agreements?
If they just signed a 4 year contract while the price was 30$ for example for 35$ they won't be seeing any of the profits, the opposite rising cost may kill them
English
@ThHappyHawaiian When does $60 silver show up in earnings, dividends, buybacks, and acquisitions?
English
It’s approaching delete my account and liquidate my assets levels of idk what’s happening
If silver miners are flat with the metal up 5% at all an all time high after underperforming already for 2 months,
Then do I (we) really have any clue?
Feels like a simulation
