"At the Sound of the Guns, Buy": Gen. Spider Marks & Peter Tchir on Iran, China & Critical Metals

Is the US running out of bombs? General Spider Marks of Academy Securities tells 250 Digital Asset Management CEO Chris Perkins yes, cites the Department of War's $200 billion readiness request, and argues this is the "sound of the guns" moment to buy defense and critical metals. Peter Tchir, also of Academy Securities, warns markets are too complacent about Iran as oil, diesel, LNG, and fertilizer pressures build, while Spider flips the consensus and argues China, far from winning this war, is actually its biggest strategic loser. They also cover rare earths, Intel, Europe's "whatever it takes" moment, the future of NATO, the expansion of the Abraham Accords, and why Israel is now the regional hegemon. Peter closes with his "ProSec" thesis, production for national security, and the case for shipbuilding, water, electricity, and the investment themes defining the next phase of deglobalization.
