Currency War Declared

 

... We needed a currency war as there were too few other wars out there!

He looks like a relative of mine.

May the Devil take them all

 The rebels took Aleppo. They are ISIS Sunni fanatics *versus* the Assad Alawite regime, backed by Iranian Shiite fanatics. Their leader is al-Julani meaning someone from the Golan. He is in fact a Palestinian refugee. He fought in al-Qaeda in Iraq against American occupation. Before the eruption of the Iraqi civil war in 2006, Joulani was arrested by American forces and imprisoned for over five years in various prisons and detention centers. These prisons included Abu Ghraib, Camp Bucca, Camp Cropper, and al-Tajji.

There are Russian bases nearby. 

Let the devil take the hindmost. Even better, take them all.

ICL: To buy more or to sell all?

ICL is the worst stock in the savings portfolio. For months, if not years, I have wondered whether to continue holding it. Now, I'll try to make a decision. I woke up feeling bad, but after eating breakfast, I was my regular self.

ICL's website does not even mention fertilizers. Potash prices are constantly falling, so the company is trying to rebrand itself as a specialty chemicals producer.That is worrying. It describes the company as:

At ICL, we believe in DIB - Diversity, Inclusion and a sense of Belonging. We are proud to have many talented key female executives, and our employees include multicultural and multigenerational individuals, LGBTQ, and people with disabilities.

Kowtowing to the Great King

 The Greeks of the Antiquity refused to follow the Great King's Court ceremony of slavish kowtowing. But the tradition has not disappeared, see the high officials of the Persian Air Force being received by the Great Ayatollah. 

Sacrifice to Baal

 Following historical tradition, the Lebanese sacrifice to their god (the Baal). Thanksgiving for the "victory".

Back in Beaufort

 

ZAHAL forded the Litani River in Lebanon and is moving forward to conquer the Beaufort again. Young people will pass their milium swimming in the Qaroun reservoir. 

...but they signed a ceasefire. Just this night at 0400 AM. So it will be the next time.
