Get this: China has provided Iran with advanced anti-stealth radar systems that can track America's stealth bombers and fighters out to a range of 500 km. China's surface-to-air missile systems (HQ-9 and variants) -- also provided to Iran -- can then bring down B-2 stealth bombers, F-35 fighters and other planes, regardless of electronic jamming.

The U.S., however, can't replace any of these aircraft because their manufacture depends on terbium, gallium, dysprosium, antimony and a dozen other rare earth minerals that the U.S.A. doesn't produce itself in any real quantities.

Where do those elements come from? CHINA, which controls anywhere from 48% - 99% of the global supply of these elements, and which has already slapped down export restrictions on most of them. The U.S. doesn't mine them and can't refine them, except in tiny quantities.

Thus, whatever stealth aircraft are shot down from here forward are essentially irreplaceable. And China just gave Iran the technology to shoot them down.

Now you know why Trump can't afford to attack Iran. Because doing so would almost certainly see U.S. stealth aircraft shot down and destroyed, with no replacements in sight.

I cover all this in tomorrow's broadcast and feature article.

It's true, everything is crashing:
- Stocks are crashing
- Metals are crashing
- Bitcoin is crashing
- Currencies are crashing

... but at the end of the day, no matter how far everything crashes, I will be sitting on a stack of silver that has intrinsic, physical, chemical and material properties that have extremely high utility for nearly every technology industry on the planet.

That's called a real "store of value."

All that paper stuff? Just paper. No real value at all.
