The war with Iran has been put on pause, but the bombardment of Lebanon has only escalated. Yesterday, 254 people were killed in massive strikes by the Israeli army in Lebanon. Over 100 airstrikes were carried out in just 10 minutes. The loss of life is staggering. (1/2)

Bottom line: Had mining prices followed fuel prices over 1970–2025, Sub-Saharan Africa would own the world.
