There’s a new sheriff in town, ladies and gents, one who doesn’t take well to international bullies — and one of those bullies has already changed his tune. Or at least, Russian strongman Vladimir Putin wants the world (and President Donald Trump) to think he has.
Speaking of peace with Ukraine, Putin said in the hours immediately following Trump’s swearing-in: “The goal should not be a temporary ceasefire, a short-term pause for regrouping forces and rearming to continue the conflict later, but a lasting peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all people and nations living in the region.”
Those words don’t exactly jibe with Putin’s Biden-era dismissals of Ukraine’s sovereignty and right to exist as an independent nation.
Famously — or perhaps infamously, depending on who you ask — Trump claims to have kept the peace during his first administration by warning Putin, “We’re gonna hit Moscow” if he invaded Ukraine. Trump later told his golfing buddy, John Daly, that Putin “sort of believed me, like 5%, 10%,” but “that’s all you need.”
Once the bullets start flying, not to mention the drones, making peace is a helluva lot more difficult than merely maintaining it. Trump began that process within a week of his reelection last fall. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
