OSINT Confirmed (Nov 8): The clandestine MV Ocean Trader (Special Operations Mothership) is back in the southern Caribbean, spotted ~80 km west of Grenada.
Rapid Turnaround: She was last seen in 🇵🇷Ponce (Nov 3) for resupply. This quick return proves the high priority and enduring commitment of the US Special Operations mission in the region.
New Escort: The Mothership is now paired with an Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyer. Given the presence of two Ticonderoga-Class Cruisers in the general area, does the shift to a dedicated DDG escort suggest a change in the mission parameters.
The Ocean Trader is back on the operational doorstep.
Does she resume surveillance operations near her previous area (East of T&T), or will there be a new AoR?

OSINT Confirmed (Nov 7): The USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD-28) has returned to the Caribbean Sea, spotted off the south coast of Puerto Rico near Salinas. She has since come into port in Ponce, according to local reports.
Operational Commitment: The Fort Lauderdale (a key San Antonio-Class transport for the 22nd MEU) had briefly returned to Mayport, Florida, for an unknown reason. Her rapid redeployment confirms the US Navy's commitment to maintaining a robust, sustained amphibious presence near the high-tension Southern Caribbean.
The Logistical Necessity: Her return—likely waiting for a Ponce berth (Stout and Patuxent were in Ponce on 7 Nov)—proves that even high-end, long-endurance ships must eventually cycle through friendly ports for deep resupply or crew rest after prolonged periods of operation.
This LPD's quick turnaround signals that the Iwo Jima ARG is settling into a long-term operational rhythm to sustain its pressure on the Venezuelan doorstep.

Russian oil is cheaper than all other alternatives and it is keeping the Hungarian economy afloat by keeping prices of gasoline, diesel and most goods and services affordable and relatively cheaper than in Hungary’s neighbours.
Ukraine however is dead set on crashing the economy of Hungary, a NATO state, and considering past statements from European and NATO officials that they consider cyberattacks, bussing migrants into Europe and drones going astray over European airports as hybrid attacks over which they may invoke the collective defense article.
Zelensky is doing his best to unseat Orbán and replace him with Péter Magyar a pro-EU and pro-Ukraine politician and Magyar’s campaign rests on the living standards of Hungarians dropping low enough that they vote out Orbán and Fidesz. Forcing Hungary to import Russian oil that is resold by Turkey or India is a great way to increase the prices of almost everything and damage Orbán’s support base.
Viktor Orbán is blocking Ukraine’s EU membership because Kiev is drafting ethnic Hungarians, it is closing down Hungarian schools forcing Hungarian children to go to all Ukrainian schools and in general, erasing the Hungarian language and culture from Transcarpathia.

Ми все одно знайдемо вихід, щоб російської нафти у Європі не було. Дуже добре, що в цьому зацікавлені Сполучені Штати Америки. Але ми, як країна, яка під агресією Росії, точно в цьому зацікавлені. І Орбан, який постійно проговорює питання з різними важливими…

The three aircraft seen at the site in Comalapa — which is one of two such joint military sites operated by U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) to support counter-drug operations in Central America and the Caribbean — include a U.S. Navy P-8A “Poseidon” Maritime Patrol and Surveillance Aircraft, an C-40 “Clipper” Transport Aircraft, as well as a AC-130J “Ghostrider” Ground-Attack Gunship operated by U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM).

We expect 85%+ of US adults to receive this, resulting in $400+ BILLION handed out.
All as US debt nears $40 trillion.
What's next? Let us explain.
This morning, President Trump made the below announcement:
A dividend of at least $2,000 per person will be paid, EXCLUDING "high income people."
The economic implications of such a massive "stimulus"-like payment are huge.
Especially with markets at record highs.
First, who will be receiving this payment?
Let's take a look at the most recent stimulus payment, the March 2021 $1,400 stimulus check.
Full payments were only made to:
Single filers making up to $75,000, households making up to $112,500, and married earners up to $150,000.
Now, let's apply this same criteria to 2025:
Currently, there are ~220 million US adults who fit these income criteria.
The top ~15% of earners would be excluded as "high income."
220 million x $2,000 = ~$440 BILLION handed out.
And, the check could be larger than $2,000.
These payments come at a time where the wealth gap is at record highs.
In Q2 2025, consumers in the top 10% of the income distribution accounted for 49.2% of total US spending.
This marks the highest level in data going back to 1989.
But, there's a big problem here.
As seen in 2021, stimulus checks massively boost spending.
However, the one-time "boost" is followed by a long period of high inflation.
Following the last round of stimulus, US inflation neared 10%.
Now, inflation is back on the rise, at 3%, and more stimulus is coming.
Trump also states that after this payment, tariff revenue will go toward paying US debt.
Over the last 5 years alone, total US debt has surged +$10 TRILLION.
Since the government shutdown began on October 1st, US debt is up +$600 billion.
Can we really afford more stimulus?

According to the company, the same thermal power plants that had been restored after attacks in 2024 were struck again, with multiple Russian drones targeting them ‘each minute’ overnight on Nov. 8.”
Russia has proven it is capable and will demolish Ukraine’s energy generation capacity, the infrastructure supplying it to civilian and industrial consumers and then its weapons manufacturing facilities.
Despite the risk of having their facilities destroyed or at the very least, impossible to operate due to a lack of power, Ukraine’s western partners are undeterred and are prepared to fund the construction of military factories.

"Calls are mounting for Norway to use its €1.8 trillion sovereign wealth fund to help move forward the EU’s stalled €140 billion loan for Ukraine, after a Danish newspaper revived a once far-fetched idea during last month’s EU leaders’ meeting.
Five Norwegian political parties, including three backing Labour Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre’s next government, have now urged Oslo to step in to overcome Belgium’s concerns about using immobilised Russian sovereign assets to fund a €140 billion reparation loan to Kyiv.
EU leaders discussed the issue on 23 October at a summit in Brussels, without reaching an agreement, as Belgium insists that other EU countries must share the legal and financial risks associated with the plan before it agrees to proceed. The assets are held by Euroclear, a Brussels-based clearing house.
Last week, Støre ordered a “full review” of Norway’s possible involvement.
Oil-rich Norway is sitting on the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, worth €1.8 trillion, including an estimated €109 billion earned from soaring gas prices in 2022 and 2023 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine."

"Gold’s scarcity is one reason it remains a sought-after safe haven. In 2025, the metal has seen its strongest rally in years, climbing over 50% as global investors react to uncertainty in the world economy.
If all the gold ever mined were melted together—about 216,000 tonnes—it would form a cube only 22 meters tall, roughly the height of a four-story building.
Meanwhile, the world’s proven, economically recoverable gold reserves total around 64,000 tonnes, forming a smaller 15-meter cube.
In this infographic, Visual Capitalist's Bruno Venditti uses data from the World Gold Council and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), with additional historical context from Encyclopaedia Britannica, to put the total quantity of gold into perspective."
