Q: Asking favorite AI a few questions and see a fatal / existential issue needing work out at cost of literal hundreds of billions, thus supporting gold pricing going forward ? (1) how long do electronics circuit boards remain reliable; how can they be non-destructively tested; and after such test, how can one know, for sure, that the boards are still good ? (2) how long do solid fuel matrix of rockets remain reliable; how can they be non-destructively tested; and after such test, how can one know, for sure, that the fuel are still / actually good under temperature / pressure of ignition ? (3) how did USA and the UK test their respective ICBMs, and knowing UK actually leased ICBMs from USA, what has been the recent test results ? are such testing dangerous to silos and submarines involved in the test ? (4) are the nuke arsenals of USA and UK actually good for use, or need to be completely replaced ? (5) given the USA capacity for tritium production, and the rate of North Korean nuclear buildup, when would N Korea have more ready-to-use ICBMs deployed than USA ? (6) how much does it cost to replace the entire USA nuclear force ? (7) what might explain the difference in testing results between UK which leases ICBMs from the USA, and the USA, which makes ICBMs for both ? Someone is lying ? (8) My banker / trader friend reacted to the podcast by Manus, and he does weekly calls with clients of ... ... ... . I quote ?? “Agree. Makes alot of sense. Thats also why there is so much pressure on Raytheon right now, and why L3 was given a 1 billion investment by the defense dept(to be spun out as a separate company) to expand solid rocket motor production and modernize all facilities. As well as 340 new. Companies awarded $151 billion thru 2035 (like Huntington) all focused on SHIELD ”
