"There’s a Reason We Don’t Poke Bears, And why gold may be your strongest defence“

I’ve never thrown a rock at a hornets’ nest

I’ve never swum with sharks

And I’ve never poked a bear

All for the same reason: you don’t provoke what you can’t control

So it’s hard to make sense of Ukraine’s latest strategy, bombing airfields deep inside Russia, targeting planes that never crossed their border. Bold? Definitely. Strategic? Maybe. But one thing’s for sure: it raises the stakes

Because the real question is what do they expect Russia to do in return?

The danger of desperation

Ukraine isn’t just short on ammunition or soldiers. It’s running low on something even more critical, attention.

The world’s tired. Headlines have shifted. People have moved on

But escalation grabs attention. A bombed runway. A brutal counterstrike. A civilian tragedy. These events pull NATO closer, stir public outrage, and most importantly, open up fresh funding

It’s not a conspiracy. It’s just politics. When you’re fighting for survival and for budget, provocation becomes a tool

What happens next?

Every escalation risks miscalculation. And in a conflict like this, one wrong move, a missile landing too far west, a NATO country hit by mistake, could trigger something much bigger

Markets won’t wait for confirmation. They react to tension. 

When things heat up:

Stock markets fall

Currencies shake

Oil and commodity prices climb

And gold surges

Because gold doesn’t rely on governments, banks or treaties. It just exists. Outside the system. Immune to collapse, inflation or sanctions

Gold is the asset of last resort

In every major war, gold has done one thing, held its ground. Not because it grows, but because everything else shrinks, trust, money, stability

When the world feels like it’s unravelling, gold doesn’t panic. It protects

If we’re edging closer to a broader conflict, and this week’s headlines suggest we are, then gold isn’t just a smart move. It’s insurance

We don’t poke bears for a reason

But if someone else does, it’s worth having something that can’t be mauled

Consider gold…
