The Global Supply Chain Crisis And The Return To Resource Sovereignty: Col. Douglas Macgregor

A "terrible storm" is approaching the US bond market as the global financial architecture begins a fundamental shift toward hard assets, according to Colonel Douglas Macgregor. With gold inching above $4,600 and silver rebounding into the mid $70s, the guest argues that the economic fallout from the conflict in the Middle East is reaching a critical tipping point. According to Macgregor, the real reason the Strait of Hormuz closed was due to insurance giants like Lloyd’s of London—not direct military force - effectively halting commercial traffic.In this exclusive interview, Macgregor provides a blunt assessment of what he claims is an urgent US interceptor missile shortage and explains why he believes legacy military infrastructure is obsolete in the face of modern drone warfare. According to the Colonel, a "hidden" supply chain crisis is emerging, including the threat of a global fertilizer shortage and an urgent necessity for "resource sovereignty" in rare earth refining.Recorded March 31 2026Follow Jeremy Szafron on X: @JeremySzafron (https://x.com/JeremySzafron) Follow Kitco News on X: @KitcoNewsNOW (https://x.com/KitcoNewsNOW) Follow Col Macgregor on X: @DougAMacgregor (https://x.com/DougAMacgregor) 00:00 Introduction00:51 Breaking Peace Signals01:21 Who Really Closed Hormuz02:31 China Peace Framework03:13 Famine and Water Risks04:53 Missile War Reality Check07:59 ISR Strike Game Changer11:08 What Victory Looks Like17:29 Strategic Minerals and Refineries29:03 Bond Market and Final Advice#Gold #Silver #Macroeconomics #Geopolitics #BondMarket #Petrodollar #StraitOfHormuz #KitcoNews #DouglasMacgregor__________________________________________________________________Like, share, and subscribe to Kitco News—and turn on alerts to stay current with expert interviews, market insights, and breaking news coverage. FOLLOW US:  X: https://x.com/kitconewsnow  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kitconews  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KitcoNews  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kitconewsVisit: https://Kitco.com/ for live gold, silver, and crypto prices, the latest mining news, and macroeconomic insights.  Live gold price and chart: https://www.kitco.com/charts/goldLive silver price and chart: https://www.kitco.com/charts/silverLive crypto market data: https://www.kitco.com/price/cryptoLearn more about Kitco News: https://www.kitco.com/news/about/ For more information on advertising, sponsorship and marketing promotions – please visit our online media kit at: https://www.kitco.com/advertising  Disclaimer:  The videos are not intended to provide trading advice, and the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of Kitco Metals Inc.
