The Media Don’t Want You to Know About This

The wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip have been going on so long that it’s sometimes easy for those of us half a world away to forget that they’re still being fought. The wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip have been going on so long that it’s sometimes easy for those of us half a world away to forget that they’re still being fought.                                                                                                      The Media Don’t Want You to Know About This [Wealth Daily] Jason Simpkins / Jun 25, 2024 The Media Don’t Want You to Know About This The wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip have been going on so long that it’s sometimes easy for those of us half a world away to forget that they’re still being fought. That’s partly by design, of course. The corporate media exist to lend cover to the status quo — to ensure the public that all is well even when it’s not, to downplay serious conflicts, to keep Americans focused on divisive, petty grievances so they don’t wade too far into the gruesome details of empire management. Global politics aren’t meant for the little people; they’re meant to be decided by the elite in the marbled halls of legislative bodies, the windowless offices of intelligence services, and the situation rooms of government leaders. So the media aren't going to bother you with too many details about foreign conflicts. But anyone paying attention knows that [defense stocks are profiting handsomely from the chaos](. And they’re poised to do even better because things are about to get worse — much worse. I can even point to a few specific developments in just the past few days that signal dark times ahead. First, Ukraine launched an attack on Crimea that injured 150 people, killing four. Many of the casualties were beach-goers who were showered with debris from five missiles Russia claims to have intercepted. This type of thing is a big deal for the Kremlin. [Putin’s regime relies on tyrannical oppression and overwhelming amounts of propaganda to keep the population pacified](. It’s paramount that Vladimir Putin appear strong, that his war effort appear successful, and that the actual cost to Russian society (in terms of money, quality of life, and lives lost) be suppressed. Attacks on “Russian” territory the regime professes to be safe undermine that sprawling effort. Indeed, even if those five missiles were intercepted before they hit their intended military targets, they succeeded in exposing Russia and Vladimir Putin as vulnerable. Sam Altman Drops AI Bombshell Sam Altman is raising the alarm about AI’s future... highlighting an urgent energy crisis. He says, "Powerful new AI models require more energy consumption than previously imagined" and that "there’s no way to achieve [the AI future we envision] without a breakthrough". To combat this, Altman is investing $375 Million into a brand-new technology that’s CRITICAL to meeting the escalating power needs of our AI-driven future. I call it the AI "Master Key"... And there’s one little-known company the US Government is working with to develop this technology essential for America’s future energy security. [Find out more about this AI "Master Key" firm here.]( That’s why the Kremlin had such a visceral reaction and went so far as to threaten the United States directly. Russian spokesperson Dmitry Peskov called the strike "barbaric," accused the U.S. of "killing Russian children," and said the attack would "not go unpunished." "We see very well who is behind this," Peskov said, referring to the U.S. “If someone thinks it is possible to supply such weapons to a war zone to attack our territory and create problems for us, why don't we have the right to supply weapons of the same class to regions of the world where there will be strikes on sensitive facilities of those countries?" This threat doesn’t come in a vacuum, either. It comes just after Vladimir Putin met Kim Jong Un in North Korea to sign a new bilateral defense agreement. In addition to swapping arms and military technology, it’s also likely Russia will go even further in assisting North Korea with its nuclear weapons program. That will put U.S. forces in the Pacific and even continental United States at increased risk of a nuclear attack. Russia also dispatched warships carrying hypersonic missiles to Cuba where they carried out war games in the Atlantic. And it conducted another round of nuclear drills at the Russian border neighboring NATO members Norway, Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. So it appears [the entire atmosphere surrounding Ukraine has flipped once again](. Just a few short months ago Russia was making advances as a vital U.S. aid package stalled in Congress. However, that package ultimately passed along with the Biden administration’s blessing for Ukrainian forces to attack assets in Russian territory. Things haven’t looked so rosy for Russia since, and that could well prompt Vladimir Putin to take more drastic action of his own.

Tens of thousands of Israelis have also been evacuated from their homes in northern Israel as a result of the conflict. So now that the Gaza Strip is in near total ruin, Israel is looking to carry its momentum up to its northern border to confront Hezbollah even more directly. "We can fight on several fronts and we are prepared to do that,” said Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu. Of course, rolling Hezbollah won’t be as easy as leveling the Gaza Strip. It’s a larger, better-armed force. And a direct attack by Israel would almost certainly draw Iran directly into the fray. Simply put, it’d be a nightmare for everyone involved. But that’s where we’re going. And that’s why I’m urging investors to [take precautions now](. I’ve talked at length about companies like RTX (NYSE: RTX), General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), and Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC), which remain strong picks in my opinion. I’ve talked about numerous [defense-related income plays like these](.
