The U.S. Has a Pig Iron Problem

Get my This Meeting Could have been SIGINT shirt here: https://www.bunkerbranding.com/pages/ryan-mcbeth The CORGI Global document that details this Pig Iron emergency can be found here: https://ryanmcbeth.substack.com America can build stealth bombers, hypersonic missiles, and AI targeting systems… but we may not be able to build enough steel to fight a long war. In this video, we break down the hidden industrial crisis nobody’s talking about: pig iron. The dirty, boring, unsexy industrial input that sits underneath almost every major defense system in the United States. Submarines. Naval armor. Titanium production. Rare earth mining. Even Patriot missiles all depend on industrial supply chains that America outsourced decades ago. We’ll talk about why the U.S. steel industry collapsed, how Russia quietly became one of the world’s most important suppliers of critical minerals, and why that may explain some very uncomfortable geopolitical decisions surrounding Ukraine and China. This isn’t just a video about steel. It’s a video about what happens when a superpower realizes it optimized itself for quarterly profits instead of national survival.
