insurance for car repairs in U.S:

these scams run on very cheap Chinese replacement parts with a life expectancy about 4 months give or take.

if the Chinese can build very cheap replacement parts for everything I am sure mining equipment is high on the list and excellent replacement parts I am sure are available.

Re <<Should it happen I'm sure their compatriots the Chinese will be more than happy to give Russia a hand>>

... there likely be at least one Chinese Ukraine-supporter, and she be her hereunder, a girl in Tokyo as featured by the suspect WaPo washingtonpost.com, and by the looks of her eyes, perhaps a girl from Eastern China, Western Japan, or Southern China or HK.

The boyz generally are sympathetic to / empathetic with Russia, or at least agnostic w/r to the Ukraine-Russia 'situation'. Overall, generally speaking, mathematically viewed, and logically interpreted, could be that Chinese folks believe that China / Russia make for good pairing, each with something to bring to the table, and together can be isolated from the 'world' and would not care except for colouring-in the maps

Who would have thought, that logically sensible to tack Russian capabilities / capacities / resources to China's same makes some sort of self-reinforcing sense as opposed to alleged 'marriage-of-convenience' - go figure

As regard to ...

<<Russia will run out of missiles....check
Russia will run out of men....check
Russia will run out of ammo....check
Russia economy will falter....check


Russia mining will falter......>>

... you left out, perhaps due to laughing too hard, Russia will run out of tenacity to win a continental war right outside its gate, excusable if you were laughing too hard, else a common enough error.


w/r to below, a minor detailing, that should one treat Canada / USA / Mexico as a single nation, China is such a nation's #1 trading partner. And the second Saudi Arabia cotton to China weaponry, the mapping changes big time - only a question of time as all eyes on the Ukraine situation by weapon shoppers.
At this time some weapons are less impressive relative to costing than other weapons, and all observers also re-learning strategies of big-arrow wars, and taking seminars in small-unit tactics

Re <<check>>

arguably we are closer to WWIII now than we were 12 months ago, and without argument, 24 months ago

bullish for the consolation prize

The Gold & the Future?

THURSDAY, JULY 20, 2023 BY: MARTIN ARMSTRONG



I tend to look to gold for two primary reasons. First, gold will decline with a rising dollar since it is an international commodity. That is when it rises in terms of other currencies. Secondly, gold will respond to the threat of World War III - not in this nonsense of inflation. Inflation and the money supply rose for 19 years, while gold declined from 1980 to 1999.



This is part of the problem with the gold bugs. They view the entire world only from a dollar perspective. You will not buy assets in Mexico if the peso continues to decline. Everyone will respond to a market based on their currency. That is why I say that a real bull market in gold requires it to RISE in all currencies. Gold has made three rallies to the same general area in terms of dollars, but gold has been rising in other currencies.



Forget the whole inflation nonsense. The big issues are the domestic politics in the USA, and the criminal prosecution of Trump is all political to prevent him from running in 2024. This is obvious to everyone outside the United States, and this will have a serious impact on the collapse in the overall confidence of governments globally. In addition, Ukraine began using cluster bombs today to try just to slaughter Russians, including civilians, in the Donbas. This is a MAJOR war crime, but the West only talks about war crimes from Russia - never the West. The pressure is being escalated in hopes that Russia will resort to nuclear weapons so they can justify using nukes on Moscow.

Our computer models are unyielding when it comes to World War III. This will be just a fact of life. Looking at this chart of gold clearly shows that it will breakout on the fourth pass to the upside. Even our most modest projections put gold at the 2700 level by 2031. The more middle-of-the-road projection takes us up to 3300.

Anyway, we look at gold alongside everything else, not only does the same old story from the gold bugs becomes just laughable with the whole hyperinflation nonsense, but their desperate attempt to goose gold up and destroy the dollar is not a world where you want to live. Gold would not be of any use amid total anarchy.

So, for now, we have our markers. Beware of next week into the first week of August.
