Tomahawk missile

And then three weeks later, while he's on a plane, Putin calls Trump.

And all of a sudden, the deal that they had discussed about selling Tomahawks was off.

And what he's allowed since that time is that he's throttled Starshield, he's not given the early ballistic missile radar advance notice, and people have died.

Children have died.

that the ability for the west to continue to suppress the price in dollars is coming to a rapid end and it's almost like all of these countries are rushing to accumulate using the distortion in the price beat them at our own game i guess is what they're thinking let's beat them at their own game and so it is it's those

leverage options that are giving that false uh uh I mean, you particularly, I mean, people know about the terrible massacre in Manab in Iran, the double tap, triple tap, perhaps Tomahawk missile strike.

The Tomahawks need silver zinc batteries.

You believe there may be something even more sinister as regards silver and black rock.

Well, the military

The military industrial complex.

if I had to guess, would be the ones that have held down silver forever.

There's massive amounts of silver in high-tech weaponry, like the Tomahawk cruise missile, like F-35s, like stealth bombers.

I love the line where he's like, these are going to sell like hotcakes.

He's talking about the Tomahawk missiles.

That's really funny.

I also think this has got some of those elements that you get from...

There's more interesting stuff.

There was a guy down the road with a Tomahawk missile which seemed a little bit more impressive.

Was he called Jaden by any chance? Oh, I don't think so.

LAUGHTER So the

Yes.

So I think we already have some idea of who is saying the I'm and who is the stupid.

The Tomahawk missile really deserves a follow-up.

First off, how? Secondly, is that enough to, like, can you just rock up with a missile and go, there you go, that's my project? It took me all year to buy that on the dark web.

The war with Iran, of course, is really directly consumed, a significant amount of U.S. long-range strike weapons and air defense interceptors that would also be needed in a conflict with China.

And CSIS did some work that looked at how the time that it would take to replenish like our Tomahawks, our THAAD, Patriot Systems, some of those weapons that were depleted in the Iran war and concluded it would take at least three years to return to pre-war inventory levels.

And then the question, of course, is how likely is China to use force in the next three years? Is China likely to be opportunistic and see that now would be a good time to invade or take action of some kind against Taiwan because the United States is less capable of responding? I personally don't think that Xi Jinping is really opportunistic.

So I think he would have to conclude, as we talked about earlier, that time is no longer on China's side, that the strategy of instilling the psychological despair wasn't working.

It can change course.

So imagine the impact or the explosive power of a hypersonic ballistic long-range missile with the maneuverability of a Tomahawk.

And A Tomahawk missile, what makes those great is a cruise missile.

Of course, they can't go as far.

They don't have as big of a boom as some of these that we're talking about, but they're completely maneuverable.

You can do all kinds of things with it.

That's what makes it so hard to hit is because it's very, very maneuverable.

You could even take the Tomahawk, put it behind terrain, and just have it loiter and hide.
