Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.
Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.
To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.
The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.
And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.
We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.
Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.
They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.
One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.

BREAKING: Europe is under a massive cyber attack, with supermarket fridges and freezers in Belgium, Sweden, Luxembourg, Ireland, the Netherlands, Finland and Estonia all hacked today by raising temperatures to up to 50°C, destroying huge quantities of food, per Reuters.
"Everything is destroyed," a sales manager in Sweden said, adding that "there has been a cyberattack and all our freezers reached 50 degrees."
More than 40 supermarkets in Belgium and Luxembourg were affected. "I only have two words for them: wake up, please, because there's something going on," a store manager in Belgium said.
This follows a similar cyberattack last month that hit hundreds of supermarkets in France, raising freezers as high as 80°C and causing major food losses.
It also comes after freezers at 6 US military bases mysteriously malfunctioned, spoiling large quantities of food, which the Pentagon is investigating as a suspected cyberattack.

Ieri sera, profittando del viaggio presidenziale in Africa del presidente Nawrocki, il premier della sinistra europeista Tusk ha mandato la polizia a bloccare i lavori della corte costituzionale, impedendo al suo presidente, al vice e ad alcuni giudici di entrare nel palazzo. Il presidente della Repubblica ha fatto invertire la rotta al suo aereo, è tornato a Varsavia e si è diretto con la sua scorta al palazzo della Corte dove ha dovuto aprirsi fisicamente la strada a gomitate tra gli agenti di polizia mentre la folla lo acclamava. Una volta giunto ai cancelli ha ordinato la loro apertura, consentendo al vicepresidente della Corte di entrare nel palazzo.
Ora Tusk batte in ritirata raccontando di aver chiesto l'intervento della polizia per proteggere i giudici.
Il presidente della Repubblica ha convocato per oggi consultazioni urgenti con tutte le forze politiche.
Una breve spiegazione per coloro che non hanno conoscenze di politica polacca:
Un anno fa, il popolo polacco ha eletto un presidente della Repubblica conservatore, Karol Nawrocki.
La Polonia ha attualmente il governo Tusk di sinistra-liberal-woke-europeista che vuole frontiere aperte e altre stupidaggini europee ma che non controlla ancora la corte costituzionale.
Il governo Tusk sta tentando di prendere illegalmente il controllo dei giudici al fine di minare l'elezione del presidente Nawrocki.
Solo in questo modo l'europeista Tusk può assicurarsi il potere assoluto per sé. Tusk sa che perderà le elezioni del 2027, quindi sta tentando di minare l'ordine costituzionale dello stato e di rimuovere un presidente amato dal popolo polacco.
Preghiamo per la Polonia e il presidente Nawrocki.
PS. non credo che sentirete questa notizia. Facciamo girare.
PPS. immaginate se una cosa del genere la facesse la premier Meloni....

"You are not judges of the Constitutional Tribunal!"

It’s almost incomprehensible how wide the distance is between someone who’s working at the frontier with AI and basically everyone else right now.
The crazy thing is these lines are not converging, but only growing farther apart. If the curve of AI progress had leveled off, it would certainly have given most people and companies time to catch up or implement their workflows in a standardized way. The technology would have neutralized competitive advantage because everyone would be using it the same way.
But what’s happened is the opposite. The curve of AI progress is basically going vertical right now, which means if you had codified your processes 3-6 months ago you’re likely already behind again. Now imagine most companies that kicked into gear a year ago and thought that they were done. Even further behind now.
I’ve never seen a technology in my life and career that improves at this rate, which consequently means you need to upgrade your expectations at a similar rate. Our brains weren’t wired for this, and our organizational change management processes certainly weren’t either.
With any form of recursive self improvement, things just get wilder. It’s a time when you will need to be constantly reevaluating the things that didn’t work just a couple months ago to see if they now can be solved. AI native companies certainly have a strong advantage due to this right now, so now it comes down to can the bigger companies keep up. Wild times.

This is f*cking insane. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, the man who left OpenAI to build Claude:
"80% of all entry-level lawyers, consultants and finance professionals will be completely wiped out within the next 1-5 years
The ones who survive won't be the smartest people in the room. They'll be the ones who know how to put AI agents to work"
In this 47-minute talk, Dario explains exactly who survives and how
Chatbots → Agents → AI Employees → Entire Departments Run By AI
Surviving AI doesn't mean asking a chatbot to rewrite your emails
It means being the person who can plug agents into a company's work and make them run
95% of people will watch AI take their industry, the 5% who build with it will be the ones companies fight over

There is nothing special about this pullback.
Much of the panic surrounding neoclouds, AI capital expenditures, and the sustainability of the infrastructure buildout is simply the market searching for explanations for falling stock prices.
When AI stocks were rising, record capex was evidence of extraordinary demand. When those same stocks started falling, suddenly the same spending became evidence of an impending financial disaster.
One fact with two interpretations that depend entirely on the price action of the market.
Go back to August 1998.
The technology bull market had been running for about three years.Amid fallout from the Asian financial crisis and Russian ruble crisis, earnings expectations were deteriorating, valuations were elevated, and investors were becoming increasingly concerned about unprofitable Internet companies.
On August 6, the New York Times published an article titled "Market Gyrations May Point to Shift in Investor Strategy." One fund manager declared, "Boring is going to outperform sexy."
Investors were supposedly abandoning momentum and speculative technology shares in favor of profitable businesses, balance sheets, dividends, and traditional valuations.
Russia defaulted on its debt. The Asian financial crisis was spreading internationally. The yen carry trade had imploded as the USD plunged 8% against the yen in a single day. US embassies were being bombed.
President Clinton ordered missile strikes against Afghanistan and Sudan while simultaneously facing a scandal that would result in his impeachment. Major financial institutions suffered enormous losses, and the spectacular collapse of Long-Term Capital Management threatened the stability of the global financial system.
Corporate earnings forecasts were falling. Investors feared a U.S. recession. Many of the same technology companies that had driven the bull market were now leading the decline. Many of them had fallen 40-60% from their 1998 highs.
Even the Federal Reserve's first interest-rate cut on September 29 initially disappointed investors. The Dow fell that day and plunged another 238 points the following session.
The news seemed almost uniformly terrible.
But the market didn't care forever.
After a violent reversal in early October, improving confidence in corporate earnings, Japanese banking reforms, and a surprise emergency Fed cut on October 15 helped restore risk appetite.
By November, the Dow was making new all-time highs. Internet stocks were exploding higher again.
What had looked like the end of the internet trade was, within about a month, actually a correction preceding one of the most extraordinary speculative advances in stock-market history.
In today’s market, Microsoft just reported 48% Azure growth. Google Cloud revenue more than doubled. Meta expects $135–145 billion in capex this year and has announced plans for a potentially record-sized $97.5 billion equity capital raise.
If the market really was that concerned over capex spending, instead of using it as an excuse to explain the pullback, the market would have sold off on the META news.
Anthropic has now filed its IPO registration statement. We have midterm elections approaching, another consequential round of earnings, and a Fed that just held rates steady even as another hike is widely anticipated in December.
There are plenty of potential catalysts over the coming two months.
More importantly, this does not resemble the sentiment backdrop of a speculative bubble climax. Generational bull markets don't die midway through a basing period, but typically after euphoric saturation and a parabolic rally in leading names.
Consensus on AI is deeply divided. Being loudly anti-AI has practically become fashionable. Some AI critics have even built enormous audiences around the idea that the economics of the industry are unsustainable. Plenty of investors seem almost eager to watch the entire trade collapse.
That isn't the sentiment or narrative around which tops are typically made.
The Internet trade didn't end in the panic of 1998. It ended after the extraordinary acceleration of 1999 and early 2000 when being bearish was the market equivalent of wearing a dunce cap.
History never repeats perfectly, and today's rate environment is very different. But I think the resemblance in investor psychology is striking.
I’d be genuinely surprised if we don't have at least one more months-long rally into new highs during this cycle.
Whether it begins into the midterms, after the elections, around Anthropic's anticipated listing, or following further earnings confirmation, I suspect this correction will eventually look more like an interruption in a generational bull market than the bursting of a "bubble."
The $NDX took four months to bottom in 1998. With the exception of a handful of leaders, most stocks that are holding up have been basing out since the May-July period. We could certainly go lower, but most of the signs point to another new high before this cycle rolls over.
However, I’d place the odds of any additional powerful rallies afterward as increasingly unlikely given the fact we are already about to enter the fifth year of this bull market. I'd be careful about buying the dips next year, at least with meaningful size.

There's a silver lining to bad Market Breadth.
One of the ways we can measure a breadth divergence is by comparing the Russell 2000 to the S&P 500 ($IWM / $SPY ratio). This is a highly mean reverting series, as small and large caps take turns in leadership across time periods.
While the recent divergence is unprecedented (by some metrics), the IWM / SPY ratio has hit levels previously associated with reversals. That is: reversals in market breadth.
In other words, it's precisely due to the currently lagging components that the whole market has room to rally. The periods following these signals produce much higher returns than average (see post below).

Seit 3 Jahren bin ich aus Deutschland ausgewandert. Das sind die Dinge, die ich am meisten vermisse:
→ Die Natur. Wirklich die Natur. Auf Zypern haben wir 320 Sonnentage. Klingt geil, ist aber auch der Grund, warum Gras hier nicht überlebt. Keine grünen Wiesen, kein Alpenblick, kein Allgäu, keine Wälder, wie wir sie kennen.
→ Die Qualität der Lebensmittel. Ja wirklich. Die Bio-Standards in Deutschland sind extrem hoch. Dennree, Alnatura, Demeter - die sauberen Ideen kommen oft aus Deutschland.
→ Die Infrastruktur. Alles funktioniert. Behörden, Internet, Straßen.
→ Die Kultur. Kaffee und Kuchen. Wochenmärkte. Weihnachtszeit mit Zimtsternen. Spaziergänge im Herbst durchs Laub.
→ Die Ernsthaftigkeit, mit der die Leute Dinge machen. Wenn ein Deutscher ein Produkt baut, dann baut er es ordentlich.
→ Die Bodensee-Sommer. Die Allgäu-Winter. Richtige Jahreszeiten.
Ich bereue nichts. Zypern ist für meine Familie und mich der richtige Ort.
Aber je länger ich weg bin, desto mehr merke ich, was Deutschland eigentlich hat.
Wenn du gerade über Auswandern nachdenkst: Mach's. Es ist eine extreme Lehre.
Aber geh nicht mit der Haltung, dass alles besser wird. Du nimmst dich selbst mit und du nimmst auch mit, was du an Deutschland hast, auch wenn du es erst dann merkst.

Ich erinnere mich an einen lautstarken Streit, den ich mit 19 während meiner Ausbildung mit meinem Chef hatte... Ich erinnere mich an einen ganz expliziten Satz von ihm: "Du hast doch keine Ahnung was ich für ein Risiko gehen musste. Du kannst jede Nacht durchschlafen um dich danach über mich zu ärgern!"
Ich dachte mir, der alte Sack hat sie nicht alle. Das einzige was ich gesehen habe war, wie der jeden Tag mit seinem damals neuen BMW X5 um 9 auf den Parkplatz fuhr. Gut gekleidet. Wirkte immer gestresst, bewegte sich schnell, war nie verfügbar für Nettigkeiten. Wir mochten ihn alle nicht besonders.
Was ich mit 19 nicht gesehen habe, dass er jede Nacht im Nacken hat dass 21 Autos getankt sein müssen. Dass 21 Autos bezahlt werden müssen. Dass die Gehälter von 19 undankbaren Arschlöchern pünktlich raus müssen, die sich über ihn das Maul zerreißen.
Dass die 3 Betriebsprüfer die seit 3 Wochen durch unsere Korridore wandeln, ihm nicht die Hölle auf Erden bringen.
Dass alle 3 Monate völlig irre Summen an Vorauszahlung für Papa-Staat raus müssen.
Dass die 6 Kunden von vor 4 Monaten endlich ihre schheiß Rechnung bezahlen, weil man alles gezwungen auf Vorleistung macht, in der Hoffnung schnell bezahlt zu werden.
Dass die dreckige IHK endlich mal die Luft anhält und nicht jeden neuen Monat irgendwas von dir will.
und dass wenn das alles erledigt ist, der Kreis von neu beginnt. Weil das als Unternehmer NIE aufhört. Es gibt keinen Frieden. Es gibt keine Zeit. Es gibt keine Ruhe.
Unternehmer sein ist psychischer Krieg auf Vollzeit.

Last week it was €70 billion. Before that, €50 billion. The number climbs every time he opens his mouth.
And through the whole pitch, he keeps sniffing. Wiping his nose. Again and again. Not once. Not twice. The whole time he’s on camera.
