OPEC+ POURS ON THE OIL AS PRICES DIP
Saudi Arabia, Russia, and 6 other oil giants are opening the taps and adding 411,000 more barrels of oil every day in July.
This is not a tiny boost either. It is more than triple what they usually do each month.
For a long time OPEC+ had been holding back oil to keep prices up.
But now they are flooding the market just as prices are already at their lowest in four years.
Brent crude is about 62 dollars a barrel and West Texas oil is around 60.
Some think this is about more than just oil.
Trump has been calling for cheaper gas in the United States and it looks like Saudi Arabia is playing along.
The move comes after a big meeting where OPEC ministers agreed to ramp up production.
They say it is about keeping the market healthy.
But others think it is a slap on the wrist for countries like Kazakhstan that have been ignoring the rules and making way too much oil.
Experts say this surprise will not cause prices to crash when trading opens Monday because traders were ready for it.
So for now this oil flood might just leave the market with a wet floor and some raised eyebrows.

š·šŗTHE USSR TRIED TO MOVE SIBERIAN RIVERS... WITH NUKES
In 1971, the Soviet Union detonated 3 nuclear bombs underground to blast a canal through Siberia.
The goal? Reroute northern rivers south to dry regions like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
Each blast was 15 kilotonsāHiroshima-sized.
The result: a radioactive crater now called Nuclear Lake.
This wasnāt a one-off.
The USSR planned to reverse the flow of the Ob, Irtysh, and even Volga Rivers using hundreds of nuclear explosions, 1,500 km of canals, and 68,000 workers.
They claimed it would save the Aral Sea, irrigate farmland, and show off Soviet engineering.
It would have flooded towns, ruined ecosystems, and possibly altered global climate patterns.
By the 1980s, scientists, poets, and even party members revolted.
The project was scrapped after Chernobyl.
But in 2025, some Russian scientists argued it should come back...with China as the new customer.
Radiation at Nuclear Lake is still elevated.
One recent visitor brought a dosimeterāand didnāt go for a swim.

š°šæ KAZAKHSTAN UNCOVERS 20 MILLION TON RARE EARTH DEPOSITāGLOBAL SUPPLY SHAKEUP AHEAD?
Kazakh geologists have found a massive rare earth metal deposit at the Zhana Kazakhstan site, with estimated reserves of over 20 million metric tons, potentially placing the country third globally behind China and Brazil.
Located 420 km from the capital, the deposit boasts neodymium, cerium, lanthanum, and yttriumākey elements for tech and green energyāat an average of 700 grams per ton, buried up to 300 meters deep.
Kazakhstan, previously off the rare earth radar, could now challenge Chinaās dominance, which controls 60% of global production, but questions linger about who will develop the site and how soon.
With global demand for rare earths soaring, this find could shift the balanceāyet Kazakhstanās lack of extraction tech and the Westās push to diversify supply chains might complicate its rise.

šØMISSILES NOW TOP CAUSE OF PLANE PASSENGER DEATHS AFTER AZERBAIJAN PLANE CRASH
Missile strikes have surpassed all other causes of airline passenger deaths, with over 500 fatalities in the last decade.
The recent Azerbaijan Airlines crash in Kazakhstan, allegedly caused by a Russian missile, claimed 38 lives on Christmas Day.
This marks the third major missile-related airline incident since 2014, following the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 and a Ukrainian jet struck by Iran.
If confirmed, this would be Russiaās second such attack, raising global concerns over aviation safety in conflict zones.
