America surrenders...hehehe.....Looks like Trump basically agreed to all 10 points (Truth and Social post).

Navel Defense? Missile Shields? Good luck with that....

They would be better off building bunkers that can house millions of people for the population to retreat into (at least in Cities). Is the US Military that inept that they don't see what war has become? It's basically streaming live from Ukraine.

If there is one thing I have noticed is that big military powers can be stopped and exhausted by much smaller countries using off the shelf tech. America still needs to learn that lesson and Iran might be the place where it happens....

I find it interesting the Trump thinks he can walk away from this. He shit the bed and now wants everyone to sleep in it. I don't know what kind of pressure the Gulf States can exert on him, but I believe they are in a position to economically harm the USA. I believe there will be a ground war and the poor bastards that have to carry it out should be watching every Ukrainian drone video they can. Like Zaluzhnyi said, War is not what the West thinks it is, the machines will eat them alive.

The EU is already preparing if Orban is re-elected. They are working on 5 different options with the last one being Hungary ejected from the EU. Highly unlikely but they still have it as an option. What is incredible is they have a state that is doing everything it can to give Russia control over all of Europe and they seem almost indifferent.

I have never been to a country where the wind blows at plus 60kph for months at a time (Wexford). I don't think I have ever been there in the last 20 years where the wind has not been howling, the potential for Wind Power there is insane.....

New comment by sleepyguy in "Russia is aiding Iran's war effort by providing Intel on US Military targets"

Some speculation....I think the long term plan here is Iran launching Shadeeds from the back of a pickups into the gulf states every few days until it wears out both Gulf and American missile defense. 100's of Drones every week targeting Refineries, LNG Gas terminals, Data Centers, Hotels, etc, just like the Russians do to Kyiv every night. The only thing that can stop it will be a ground invasion.

Russia and China have the USA right where they want them unless there is a regime collapse (highly unlikely) or a ground invasion (more likely). The Gulf States will be exhausted and the USA will be ground down defending them.

There is also a supply route through the Caspian for China and Russia to bolster Iranian defense. Is the USA willing to invade Russia to stop it?

This is much bigger than most Americans can comprehend at the moment, no one has ever won a war with just an air assault. Iran is twice as big as Iraq, and Israel and the USA have thrown everything they can at it short of a Nuclear bomb and it is still standing.

Just saying...

sleepyguy — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 18:50:57 +0000

I wonder if people started to lose their jobs, would that bother them?

I suppose there are also security concerns. Could he put a lot of pressure on NATO and Spain's membership which would certainly cause a lot of pain. I know Spain is far from Russia and all but he could refuse to sell them any parts and weapon systems.

Just saying, why poke a pile of shit and then get it all over you. Trump is temporary and best to just quietly wait it out, unless you want to smell like shit.

sleepyguy — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:29:25 +0000

It really is insane that the West/World watches while Russia fires ballistic missiles and send hundreds of drones targeting civilians. Could you imagine this happening to Berlin, Paris, London and so on? No one says anything, rather they try to ignore it like it isn't happening. If Ukraine didn't shoot down the majority of these Missiles and Drones the death toll of civilians would be in the 100's of 1000's. There are videos now online where Romanians watch Russian drones fly through their territory to bomb Ukrainian cities and they don't even try to shoot them down.

Europe has turned out to be incredibly cowardly and inept while America is totally indifferent. I guess Ukrainian lives are cheap and worthless to them. It would be deserved if this war came to the Europeans in the most awful way.

sleepyguy — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 19:28:24 +0000

I’ve heard that Amazon’s capital expenditures have exceeded its annual cash flow, leading it to borrow and cut jobs to fund AI investments. Unlike Microsoft and Google, which appear able to fund capex internally, Amazon seems to be in a costly growth race with deeper-pocketed competitors. My view, this could mean continued heavy borrowing and limited to no profitability in the near term.

I can't get any devices to understand my mother. She speaks to SIRI or Google Nest, incredibly difficult or impossible. She has to either repeat herself a half dozen times in between asking Google Nest to stop. It is a shit show just having it play a radio station. Her fingers are so dry that she can't use a tablet. My mother inlaw has had huge success with META Glasses but unfortunately my mother won't wear them. Really hoping AI can fix things and provide older folks with a way to communicate easily.

If Plantir is helping Ukraine to wipe out Russia, God Bless them. Hopefully Kim gets a nice prison cell where he can rot the rest of his life.

New comment by sleepyguy in "Surely the crash of the US economy has to be soon"

There is so much wrong with this blog post that it is difficult to know where to start. Does he even know that China has placed silver on the rare earths list? Considering they export 60 % of the worlds refined silver and now exports are limited and controlled. Silver markets have sold 200 contracts to every bar of refined silver. Now they are scrambling to fulfill delivery if someones requests it and are forced to buy on the spot market, which incidentally has driven spot pricing higher than contracts.

People are moving out of Bitcoin and into Gold currently. I see this trend continuing (Bitcoin falling).

The markets today are indestructible at the moment as you have witnessed over the last 3-4 years. This year will be similar to 2025 according to many different and smart people. I tend to agree with them and we are still in a bull market.

-not an expert, not investment advice, your mileage may vary.

60 minutes covered it and CNN reported on it. Weapon was purchased during the Biden Administration from a Russia Agent in Florida. Really interesting story and the device is small enough to fit in a back pack.
