The West sold its silver birthright—draining stockpiles, faking abundance with paper ETFs, and letting BRICS hoard the metal that powers modern war. Now, NATO faces a critical shortage. Only one solution remains: revalue silver or watch Western defenses go dark.
If you want to understand why the U.S. could win the first week and lose the first war, follow the missiles… and then follow the Silver supply.
Silver is the showstopper. With stockpiles long sold, the U.S. faces war unprepared: China hoards the ore, supply chains fray, and every weapon, grid, and satellite depends on silver. Without urgent action—laws, reserves, and reclamation—the next war is already lost.
Silver powers the silent engines of war—torpedoes, submarines, missiles, satellites. From Virginia-class subs to NATO arsenals, militaries consume hidden tonnes of silver, masked in “electronics,” a demand uncounted but decisive.
The jig is up: silver’s scarcity is undeniable. The West’s vaults drain, the East stockpiles, and deficits mount. Both money and metal, silver is the last refuge of power. Those without it will be ruled by those who hoard it.
Leonardo’s Proteus, the Royal Navy’s large uncrewed rotorcraft, nears flight with modular autonomy for ASW, ISR, and logistics. Silver’s role across EMI shielding, power contacts, thermal materials, plated fasteners, antennas, and reliable batteries.
