Jared and Ivanka Kushner want to buy Sazan Island in Albania because it is beautiful and they want to make it a resort. How nice!
But Sazan island is not a vacation spot. It’s a well-documented strategic military chokepoint with a long military history.
In 1958, Nikita Khrushchev stood at the nearby Soviet submarine base and said, "From there I could control the Mediterranean to Gibraltar." Sazan island controls the Strait of Otranto, and the Strait of Otranto controls access to the entire Adriatic.
Every empire that wanted to control the Adriatic, wanted Sazan. Romans. Ottomans. Italians. Germans. Soviets.
What Ivanka describes as "An unbelievable, beautiful 1,400-hectare private island in the middle of the Mediterranean," is approximately 3,600 nuclear bunkers and kilometers of tunnels and hardened underground facilities, including a submarine pen the Soviets built specifically to project power into the Mediterranean, and is still an Albanian military zone.
The deal was negotiated in secret. Albanian citizens and their own parliament didn't know about it until the press reported it. The Albanian government approved it immediately after Trump won reelection. Kushner’s newly formed investment company is using $4.6 billion from Saudi Arabia and Gulf sovereign wealth funds to fund the purchase. A Qatari company, Power International Holding, is a co-owner of the project and is currently under investigation by Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors.
Now that the deal is public, the Albanians are pissed. They're in the streets marching by the thousands in Tirana, Albania’s capital with banners reading "Albania is not for sale." Private security forces have attacked protesters. The Albanian government has suspended police officers, and revoked security company licenses.
Yep, just a couple private civilians looking to open a resort. No need to look further...
Now that you know the whole story, what do you think?
Here some more advantages for web3 in KS, of which I know due to incorporating @ZanaVentures in KS:
- max flat tax of 5- 10% (hard to hit, and easy to stay on the lower end)
- 0% taxes on dividends
- 10% flat for stocks + no wealth tax
- no VAT if you export digital services
- set up time is like 1 week
- cost for set up is low 4 figs
- country doesn’t really care where you are
- bank acc‘s don‘t bother with deposits/withdrawals (I deposited 550k€ cash without a single call)
Not everything is perfect but @k0k1eth know‘s what’s relevant.
When your ICT mentor told you to ignore the supply/ demand economics of Oil and just sell it because of a judas swing FVG orderblock to brick head retard set up
Worth recalling after Kosovo's defeat of Slovakia last night in the World Cup Qualifiers (a country which does not even recognize Kosovo's sovereignty!) that FIFA/UEFA have a more sensible position on Kosovo's statehood than the EU.
Almost 11% trade while risking little over 1%
NY open reversal, and all what matters is what moves between a supply and a demand zone.
Passed @FTMO_com Phase 1 challenge with just this one little trade.
In order to be a great trader you need to be a great money manager.
I was never good with money until my late 20s.
I would spend my paycheck as fast as I got it.
That was until I read The Richest Man in Babylon.. and it changed my view of money.
Money multiplies when you put it to work in the right way… and rather than entrusting others to multiply it for you, that’s a task you need to take on yourself.
No mentor in this space will do it for you, you’re still the one clicking the buttons and making the decisions at the end of the day.

If you're afraid of losing money, trade smaller.
If you're afraid of losing trades, think in probabilities and expectancy.
If you have the fear of missing out, realize there are always new opportunities.
Fear is internal and you must overcome it to be a successful trader.
