This thread is going to lay out some interesting details.
The Tripoli was ordered to be built in 2012.
It was commissioned in 2020.
However there were specific upgrades ordered during Trump’s first term

Eliminating all military targets on Kharg Island is what you’d do before
5,000 Marines take the Island.
A disgusting story happening far too often across the Western world (in this case the USA)………..
In the rugged interior of Newfoundland, an hour’s drive west from the Canadian Forces Base in Gander, sits a dormant mine with profound implications for the nation’s security and prosperity. Beaver Brook could be the largest North American producer of antimony — a critical mineral threaded through the entire spectrum of modern military hardware, from small arms and artillery shells to advanced missile seekers and night-vision goggles.
But China owns the mine and shut it down in early 2023 — one year before Beijing imposed export controls blocking antimony sales to U.S. military end users, driving prices from about US$5,900 per tonne to more than US$50,000.

Interesting that focus of article is on China when it appears that the property was sold to a Cdn mining company back in 2018…..not confirmed but it looks that way.
The FDA this month issued a formal warning letter to Novo Nordisk, reprimanding the pharmaceutical giant for “serious violations” in failing to report serious side effects linked to Ozempic, Wegovy and Saxenda. The March 5 letter followed FDA inspections, conducted in January and February, of Novo Nordisk’s U.S. operations in Plainsboro, New Jersey.
Investigators concluded the company failed to comply with federal regulations governing the reporting of post-marketing adverse drug experiences (PADE) — a critical safety system used to detect safety signals after the drugs are already on the market.
This changed the law, effective January of this year, to make it easier for the government to mobilize young men for war through a military draft.
“If they can draft you, they own you,” (Ron) Paul says, adding that “Tyrants need slaves.”

The cardboard cutout spoke —- The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed. All US bases in the region must be shut down immediately. Iran demands reparations, or property belonging to the aggressors will be seized or destroyed. Studies have been conducted on opening additional fronts “where the enemy has minimal experience and would be highly vulnerable”. And vengeance for Minab will not be forgiven.

Why is nobody reporting on this?
The makers of the Ukrainian Sting interceptor drone told The War Zone that despite growing interest in the Middle East for their product, they are not yet allowed to sell them outside the country. Other Ukrainian drone manufacturers, like SkyFall, are also reportedly interested in providing interceptors to the region.
$10 million bounty is also on Larajani.

“historically, that tends to happen before the most explosive phases of mining cycles.”
It varies but some are still up +20% even after today.
This conflict is causing a rebalancing. Throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Nothing has changed with Gold and Silver. Central Banks still printing more currency. Inflation about to rise.
Times like these teach us to keep a certain amount in cash. Either for day to day expenses or to buy good solid companies. I like a four month supply personally. Eliminates panic selling.
I do not know the true value of Silver but the miners are still receiving over the Average Q4 price. The mkt is mis-pricing out of fear. If we didn’t have 20-20 vision in hindsight and sell at the top, it may not be time to sell out of fear. It may take some time to reprice higher but we should be used to the volatility in the metals.

WHO ARE YOU WITH , CHUCK SHUMER AND AOC ?
SHEESH !!
Look at their q3 FS 31 million in Revs…..so 120 million annualized. So adding 50 to 70 over next 2 years is 25 to 35 million extra per year. That represents and extra 20 to 25% in revenues over the next 2 years just for the increase in price for the antimony they produce. That doesn’t even consider the increasing price of silver. Yeah, buying more today for sure.
And as you all know, US fast tracking any US company wanting to produce critical minerals, of which silver and antimony are both. Bought more yesterday, may buy more today. Approaching 50 day sma (it beautifully skips along the 50 like a skipping stone on the water), and price decreasing on decreasing volume. Do what you like, but do something.
the are one of the only green sectors today. It makes sense, why subjugate yourself to these massive sigma 6 moves in oil if you don’t have to, especially if you are an energy provider. Uranium, the most efficient elements pound for pound for energy extraction. Some near or at their 52 week lows. Long term play 3 – 10 years.
BREAKING: Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats have UNLEASHED MADNESS on airports by shutting down TSA — the line at Austin Airport is surging DOWN THE STREET

This is insane. Nuke the filibuster and END THIS! Dems are traitors!
It’s staring us all in the face. When was the last time in history Stagflation was of great concern? What did well during that time period for assets? History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes. Invest accordingly for the next wave.
