Great Post Dad. I have decided to postpone my missive to U.S. agencies for the time being. Letting the stock price rise to something much closer to double digits. I then plan to pepper Wilber Ross, Tillerson and Maddox about the need for Ivanhoe's metals. So they pay many more billions for Ivanhoe and not 10 billion, no big deal. Our projects will be further advanced.
We are spending a trillion dollars, which is a thousand billion dollars, on the F35 plane which is the world's greatest boondoggle ever, where each plane costs way over a hundred million dollars, and they don't even work very well, true, I cannot make this stuff up, and the Russians can take an F35 plane out with a S400 SAM where the missile costs like ten grand to produce, less. Also True. This is what happened recently in Syria. Obama wanted to invade, to prop up ISIS, since the CIA could not get the job done with their partner, so Obama and Hillary and Kerry started making noise in their tranny dresses, saying they were gonna declare a no fly zone over most of Syria.....and Putin brought in like one battery of S400s, and did in fact establish a no fly zone. We talked, he did.
America has a trillion dollar Aegis ship program under development which much of it will be outdated as soon as the ships hit the water..........and every single ship can be taken out by the S400's and their other missles Imagine knocking out a 300 million dollar ship by a single missile that costs ten grand, maybe less, but goes 15,000 mph, a speed at which nothing america has can touch it remotely. Ships are yesteryear. But DC loves them.
So if america wants to build this stuff, we are gonna need lots of copper, and I figure we are getting ripped off like world laughing stocks by the military corporations. What is paying like 15 billion for Ivanhoe? a drop in the bucket....There is NO MONEY in fighting terrorists on the ground with small weapons. Our military industrial complex wants the big stuff, for massive wars. The heavy hardware. Americans are lobotomized about who pays for anything, anyway, a country of children.
This is why America is estimated to be a generation behind the brainy russians in missile technology and all import, critically important radar technology. There is no real money in these two items. Our corrupt military contractors want the contracts for the tanks and the cost overrun jets and the ships........the russians on the other hand, made the brainy decision to develop the stuff that matters. Now they can take much of us out at will, with stuff that literally costs a penny to our dollars. Does not matter to NATO and U.S., we are still putting a gigantic ring of our own missiles and tanks and hardware right now on russia's borders, hoping to start a major war..................cannot make this stuff up. Americans cannot even read a basic college 101 textbook, so they are a little behind these days on foreign policy.
Russia has been invaded 3 times in the past 150 years, and lost perhaps 45 million citizens to the invaders. We are messing with the wrong people, as Putin has vowed never again will they be invaded. If the U.S. invades them, as the Democrats and socialists and Liberals and old McCain/Graham neocons desire, here is what will happen: you will see a thousand Americans enlist to help the American invasion, perhaps even two or three thousand, all of whom are career unemployed; Russia will have 35 million tough hombres the next day in line, begging to enlist. And these ain't transgender people over there. Russians are fearsome and not afraid to die for their country.......
American military multinationals OWN much of DC with the freak show Congress down their, especially the contractors we "subcontract out to. We have a million or perhaps more servicemen, but 3x as many overpaid, unaccounted for mercenaries, I mean "contractors"....running around, without citizen controlled oversight, a farce......So let them pay through the nose for Ivanhoe, that is what I say... I am all for them paying 20 Billion for our company. Because I am such a patriotic guy! 20 billion, a drop in the DC bucket. (I sure hope Russia doesn't buy Ivanhoe, but finders keepers, losers weepers.)
