On Wednesday, Russia accused the United States of prolonging its war against Ukraine by increasing the delivery of weaponry to Kyiv in advance of Donald Trump reentering the White House in January. A US official announced on Tuesday that the Biden administration would soon send antipersonnel land mines to Ukraine to fortify its defenses against Russian forces, according to AFP News. Additionally, the United States recently permitted Ukraine to launch US-supplied long-range ATACMS missiles for strikes on Russian territory.
“If you look at the trends of the outgoing US administration, they are fully committed to continuing the war in Ukraine and are doing everything they can to do so,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday.
Trump, who will be inaugurated on January 20, repeatedly criticized US support for Ukraine during his campaign and asserted that he could achieve a ceasefire within hours. Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, told Fox News on Tuesday that Ukraine would lose the war if Washington withdrew its funding.
In order to mitigate the threat to civilians, the United States has requested that Ukraine restrict the use of mines to its own territory and to areas that are devoid of population. This is the latest weapons shipment announced by the US since the Nov. 5 election.
The Kremlin also denied on Wednesday that it was involved in the cutting of telecommunications cables that ran beneath the Baltic Sea. European officials conveyed their suspicion on Tuesday that the invasion of Ukraine by Russia is associated with the “hybrid warfare” and “sabotage” that occurred as a result of the cutting of two telecommunications cables in the Baltic Sea within 48 hours. Peskov told reporters: “It’s quite absurd to keep blaming Russia for everything without any grounds. It is laughable in the context of the lack of any reaction to Ukraine’s sabotage activities in the Baltic Sea.” […]

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.
