Скачать или смотреть The U.S. Is Weaponizing Metal Refining — And Most People Missed It

The newly launched metal refining complex in Tennessee marks the first zinc smelter built in the United States in over half a century, with the Pentagon holding a direct stake. This signals a fundamental shift in how the U.S. views metals: no longer as simple commodities, but as strategic assets tied directly to national security.

In this video, we analyze why refining capacity — not mining — has become the true battlefield of modern supply chain warfare. We explore how control of the “middle layer” allows nations to regulate access, pricing, and speed across the entire metals ecosystem.

You’ll learn:
• Why metal refining is being weaponized
• How global metals markets are splitting into “clean” and “contested” tiers
• Why policy risk is replacing supply-demand as a core pricing factor
• How silver is emerging as a geopolitical stress indicator
• What this means for U.S.–China competition and future conflict scenarios

As global supply chains fracture, industrial capacity is once again becoming the foundation of power. This factory is not about profit — it’s about control.
