Much has been (and will be) made about the US airstrikes in Syria. But did you know, many estimates put the amount of silver in each Tomahawk cruise missile at around 15 kg (480 ounces) each. A lot of people find this hard to believe and the truth is nobody in the public really knows because the blueprints for a Tomahawk aren't exactly in Google (I just checked)...but this is a government contract we are talking about, not an iPhone.
Cost isn't as much of an issue as 100% up-time and 100% effective performance...why use copper components when silver increases electrical reliability and performance with only a ~2% price increase on the missile's already laughable $1 Million dollar price tag. The US used over half a billion ounces of silver back in the 1940's in Calutrons to separate out isotopes of Uranium for the Manhattan Project. So 500 oz for a missile is child's play.
Where do you think all of the silver came from in the 1980's and 1990's to suppress the price down to $4 for all those years?
I am not a fan of our recent foreign affair interventions, but that is hell of a lot of silver per missile! For the record, here is Trumps 2013 Tweet regarding Barry Obomber's Syrian airraid...what a hypocrite.
Trump basically launched 103 monster boxes of ASE's at a foreign sovereign nation on weak at best evidence of a local gas attack (which may or may not have happened, and may or may not have been perpetrated by the regime in charge). I'm not sure about war crimes, but I can sure make a case for Precious Metals abuse.
But the wheels of the Military Industrial Complex just keep turning...whether there is a Republican or Democrat in charge of the US Armed Forces, our National Offense just keeps breaking countries down and killing people with missiles and drone strikes from 1,000's of miles away with little oversight or consequences (The US Constitution has rules against this we've ignored for the last 70 years)...and we wonder why people hate us so much...well, I don't.
