At the time of writing, world leaders are making public calls for peace, while privately preparing for escalation. President Trump has left the G7 early, speaking in unambiguous terms about the deepening conflict between Israel and Iran.
The rhetoric is increasingly hawkish, the military posturing more visible, and the potential for direct US involvement growing by the hour. Yet for most of us watching from afar, the experience is one of unease rather than action. Headlines flare and fade. Markets wobble, but do not break. And life, at least on the surface, continues.
Our latest GoldCoreTV video explores what lies beneath that surface. Titled “Why Gold Will Matter in World War 3”, it is not a prediction, nor is it framed around fear. Instead, it is an attempt to trace the lines that are quietly being crossed. Lines of economic credibility, political cohesion, monetary discipline, and civil liberty. We ask what history tells us about how major conflicts begin, and how governments behave when confronted not only by foreign threats, but by domestic pressures they can no longer contain with promises alone.
