Did America Really Just Shoot Its Last Precision Missile?

Reuters confirmed the Pentagon burned through 'virtually all' its best weapons in five months. China is taking notes. Your savings aren't.

August 05, 2026

Dear Reader,

REUTERS ran an exclusive yesterday that nobody on CNBC wanted to talk about.

America has burned through "virtually all" of its ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles. Five months. One war. That is how fast it happened.

Inside today's issue:

  • The missile stockpile Reuters exposed. Five months of war in Iran and the Pentagon burned through virtually all its best weapons. China is watching every minute of it.
  • Why empires always run out of bullets before they run out of promises. I have studied this cycle for 50 years. Rome did it. Britain did it. Now us.
  • What BlackRock just admitted. Kiyosaki's 2013 prophecy named this exact moment. Here is the data that proves he was right.
  • Larry Benedict just released a new presentation on a strategy called "Oil Skimming." It's worth a look.

AMERICA JUST SHOT ITS LAST PRECISION MISSILE

The news came out of Reuters on Tuesday, August 4th. No drama. No breaking news banner. Just a quiet exclusive buried under headlines about Trump pausing air strikes and Qatar floating a deal.

Here is what it actually said: The U.S. Army has used up "virtually all" of its ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles during five months of war with Iran. Not "some." Not "a significant portion." VIRTUALLY ALL.

These are America's premier long-range strike weapons. The ones that hit targets hundreds of miles away without putting a single pilot in the air. The ones China and Russia have been watching us fire at Iranian targets since March 2026.

And we burned through them in FIVE MONTHS.

The mainstream read on this: diplomacy is working. Trump paused strikes. Qatar floated a deal. Oil slid. Everything is fine.

My read: America is negotiating from an empty magazine.

I have studied empires for 50 years. Britain in 1944 ran out of money paying for World War II and handed the reserve currency baton to America. Rome started paying soldiers in debased coins when the treasury ran dry, then watched the legions melt away. Every empire that overreaches militarily does the same thing: it spends hard assets to buy soft promises.

"The U.S. Army has used up much of its stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its five-month war with Iran, raising concerns about the military's readiness for future conflicts."
-- Reuters, August 4, 2026

Now add this: BlackRock, the largest asset manager on earth, quietly capped withdrawals from its $26 billion private credit fund in March 2026. $26 BILLION. Frozen. The same move Bear Stearns made in 2007 before everything fell apart.

In Rich Dad's Prophecy, I wrote in 2013 that the biggest crash in history was coming. I said it would be led by the debt mechanisms that were never cleaned up after 2008. I named the timeline: 2026.

I hope I am wrong. But I am not surprised.

The number that stopped me cold this morning is not the missile count. It is the Tomahawk number buried in the same Reuters report: the U.S. has used less than half of its global supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles. Less than HALF. In five months. And Beijing already knows exactly how many are left.

But before we get to the full picture, take a look at this:

Trump to Unleash Giant $2.7 Trillion Gold Mine?

Executive Order #14153 outlines what Jim Rickards believes are Trump's intentions to unleash the largest mineral reserve in the country. up to $2.7 trillion in gold, silver, copper, and other precious elements. This single company, trading for just $2 per share, holds 100% of the rights to this asset. You need to act before November 3.

Now. About that Tomahawk number.

If you were China's military planners and you just watched America burn through its precision strike arsenal in one regional conflict, what would YOU do next?

You would wait. You would watch Taiwan. You would note that America has a $58.6 billion Lockheed Martin contract to rebuild its Patriot interceptors. The replacement missiles don't arrive until 2027. That is a gap. Gaps invite problems.

Here is what the Pentagon is not saying on television: this is not just a logistics problem. It is a dollar problem. Every missile costs $1-3 million. Replacing a depleted arsenal costs tens of billions. The national debt just crossed $39 trillion. We are printing the money to rebuild what we already printed to build in the first place.

Gold is at $4,055 an ounce right now. It hit $5,602 in January 2026. The mainstream crowd said: see, gold corrected, it was a bubble. I said: the correction is the buying window.

When a government debases its currency to pay for weapons it cannot afford, real assets go UP. That is not a prediction. That is 5,000 years of history.

I have been buying silver since I was 18 years old. I own physical gold. I hold Bitcoin as digital gold for the next generation. None of these things depend on a government keeping its promises or a general keeping its missiles.

The escape hatch is not complicated. It is physical. You can hold it. Nobody can print more of it.

The question is not whether the dollar loses. It already is. The question is whether you are on the right side of that trade when the next Reuters exclusive drops.

To your freedom,

Robert Kiyosaki
