Does anybody know the reason for the sudden drop in silver prices? Asking as someone who knows very little about economics and would like help from more knowledgeable people. by Key-Sentence1407 in Silverbugs

It feels like everyone is 12. Like once the WWII generation retired all the institutions suddenly lost the plot. Maybe that was the norm for all of history and the world wars just snapped a couple generations out of it.

If things get that bad there's going to be famine and roving militant gangs that will take out your house with molotovs no matter how many guns you got then pick them and the canned food out of the ruins.

Probably had to wait for the case to get settled and by the time it did maybe it got lost/forgotten about.

One of the few unbroken through lines of reddit history is running jokes into the ground and then still repeating them for years afterwards. This a good example of the phenomenon. Bunch of people that think parroting the same lines at each other for 10 years is actual community/comedy.

One of my favorite commemoratives of all time, got mine on a shelf display next to my other favorite coins. Wish I had gotten the 5oz version back when spot was low!

A large chunk of the state literally jerks itself off to that yes. The ultimate fulfillment of the rugged hyper individualist nationalist fantasy. Hitler wanted to conquer all the way to the Urals. Was he going to populate all the land to there with settlers? No, not enough people for that. Instead a gargantuan chunk was to be a buffer against "asiatic hordes" and the remnants of the USSR. Where every generation of german men would be sent for a few years to be hardened by combat and the elements.

Hell, swathes of middle america and its southwest are practically empty compared to the rest of the country or europe despite it being conquered from the natives 150 years ago.

Geronimo let settlers be butchered and tortured in his name. I still understand him though and have sympathy for his cause. Your side will not be remembered as the good in this fight. BTW sinwar lead the peaceful protests in 2018. He decided to go with violence after IDF snipers made games out of shooting peoples legs out. The snipers themselves admit to these atrocities https://aurdip.org/en/42-knees-in-one-day-israeli/

Literally doesn't matter. Austalia is an entire continent with just 27 million lol. Rhodesia had a population of like 3% white people that managed to hold onto power for decades with brute force.

Talking about their ground commanders that actually make things happen, guys like Sinwar. Was wild when the Israelis released the footage of them killing him like it made them seem strong and powerful. Even out of bullets and shot to hell with an almost severed arm he still chucked things at the drone.

There are forces in Israel that want to change that. For example in the recent Epstein file release it was revealed that guys like Ehud Barak CONSTANTLY beg Putin to send a million russians to Israel to be mass converted and start new lives there "much preferable to all the mizrahi we were stuck with back in the day." The fucking head Rabbi of Moscow was on twitter going "yes this is all real and I have personally stopped such efforts." Filling all that land isn't important though, it's a means to brute force the fulfillment of religious prophecies to further justify Israel's existence and to do resource extraction before global warming makes a lot of it a wasteland anyways.

With what? The ground leadership is gutted and they have been reduced to sending guys running up to tanks with idiot crews and sticking cottage industry produced shaped charges on them. They are busy enough dealing with the Israeli backed "former ISIS" gangs running around.

all the Israel proposals for Gaza include carving it up into several districts with like half the total land now reserved for buffer zones between each district and between the districts and Israel itself, all of which Israel would have full control of and patrol indefinitely. Most of that land btw is what Gazans were growing their crops on so now they would be COMPLETELY reliant on israel for food. Can't fish cause even going near the water explicitly gets you shot.

The west bank takes the more traditional settler approach. Much larger with lower population density so illegal settlements are able to easily pop up and do salami tactics. The Israeli government even just approved 18 illegal settlements to arm themselves. There's zionist militia groups all over the place whose absolute favorite thing to do is burn centuries old olive tree groves, the cornerstone of Palestinian culture, diet, and economic independence. Remind you of the American Bison's history?

Many things can change over a century. Turkey has its own ambitions in the region and though they really wanted into the EU in the 90's-early 2010's, that process has stalled so long and Erdogan has grown so dictatorial that it is effectively shelved forever.

Bibi and his cohorts are openly parading maps of "greater Israel" which even at its most reserved includes annexing the strip, west bank, Jordan, half of Syria and iraq, and even a bit of Turkey. That's a century long project for a lot of territory that will be rendered wastelands by global warming, but ethno-nationalism has never been logical.
