Mark Cuban has a four-word blunt response to memes
Mark Cuban has a four-word blunt response to memes originally appeared on TheStreet. Billionaire investor Mark Cuban has issued a sharp take on the state of today's markets, it's no longer just meme stocks — everything is a meme. In a conversation with Axios, Cuban contrasted the current market frenzy with the dotcom bubble he famously navigated in the late 1990s. While that era was wild, Cuban argues this one might be riskier, largely due to the power of retail investors and crypto-fueled culture. 'Back then day traders had minimal online resources,' Cuban told Axios. 'Now younger traders are far more risk tolerant… They see the volatility of crypto, particularly meme coins, and see stocks as just one more version of meme coins.'He added, '..back then it was anyone with a .com could go public… Now anyone can issue a meme coin.' 'From the kids I talk to, they see (Nvidia) and the big 7 the same way. Everything is a meme to individual traders these days.' Explained: What are meme coins? Cuban's take on memecoins Cuban isn't shy about his take on meme‑coins — and it's crystal clear. While he supports crypto with substance, he draws a firm line when it comes to speculative tokens. Despite investing in Dogecoin and accepting it for Dallas Mavericks tickets, Cuban has repeatedly slammed most meme‑coins as nothing more than a 'hustle.' He told: 'I'm not a fan of meme coins. Obviously, it's a hustle. There's no there there. And so it's just like a game of musical chairs with money. Some people make money and some people won't.' He reacted critically after the dramatic rise and collapse of HAWK coin, pointing out that while the hype can build fast, fundamentals often disappear just as quickly. Cuban expressed sympathy for the young creator behind it but made no excuses for the risk: 'It wasn't something she fully understood… I'm not mad at Haliey at all. I feel bad for her… what's done is done.'

US approves $322 million in arms sales to Ukraine
The United States on Wednesday announced the approval of $322 million in arms sales to bolster Ukraine's air defenses and its armored combat vehicles. The announcement of the sales comes after Washington temporarily halted some weapons shipments to Ukraine earlier this month even as Kyiv faced heavy Russian missile and drone attacks. The sale of HAWK air defense equipment and sustainment will cost up to $172 million, while Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle equipment and services will total up to $150 million, the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said. The proposed HAWK equipment sale "will improve Ukraine's capability to meet current and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-defense and regional security missions with a more robust air defense capability," DSCA said. And the Bradley equipment and services will help meet Ukraine's "urgent need to strengthen local sustainment capabilities to maintain high operational rates for United States provided vehicles and weapon systems," it said. The State Department approved the possible sales and the DSCA provided the required notification to the US Congress, which still needs to sign off on the transactions. The latest proposed military sale to Ukraine follows another announced in early May valued at $310.5 million for F-16 training and sustainment. Russia's President Vladimir Putin launched the full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine in 2022 and has shown little willingness to end the conflict despite pressure from the United States. Under former president Joe Biden, Washington committed to providing more than $65 billion in military assistance to Ukraine. But President Donald Trump -- long skeptical of assistance for Ukraine -- has not followed suit, announcing no new military aid packages for Kyiv since he returned to office in January.

US Approves $322 Mln Arms Sale to Ukraine
Israa Farhan The United States has approved a major $322 million arms deal with Ukraine aimed at strengthening the country's air defense systems and armored vehicle fleet, amid ongoing Russian missile and drone attacks. The announcement was made on Wednesday by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency, following a temporary pause in weapons deliveries to Kyiv earlier in July. The move signals renewed American commitment to Ukraine's military support as the war with Russia intensifies. The two-part package includes $172 million worth of equipment and maintenance for the HAWK air defense systems, as well as a $150 million deal for Bradley armored fighting vehicles and their maintenance. According to the agency, the HAWK-related deal will enhance Ukraine's capacity to defend against both current and future aerial threats by boosting its self-defense and regional security capabilities through stronger air defenses. In addition, the Bradley vehicle deal will address Ukraine's urgent need to maintain high operational readiness of US-supplied combat vehicles and weapon systems. It also aims to improve local maintenance capabilities to ensure consistent battlefield performance. The US State Department has formally approved the deal, and the Defense Security Cooperation Agency has submitted the required documentation to Congress for final authorization. This latest military package follows a similar agreement in early May worth approximately $311 million, which focused on providing training and spare parts for Ukraine's fleet of F-16 fighter jets. The Biden administration continues to balance domestic and international pressures while navigating legislative hurdles to maintain a steady flow of military aid to Ukraine. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
