>Wouldn't it be advantageous to buy up the silver so your enemy can't make advanced weapons?
If you can trick the goyim into thinking silver is just a worthless rock, unworthy of investment, and certainly undesirable to own, then you can leave the silver in the bullion vaults.

If governments start buying silver, the price will skyrocket. Silver is an example of a "Giffen good". As the price rises, demand for it increases.

Keeping silver boring, uninteresting with painful downside volatility worked pretty well to discourage investment and keep the price low for the last 40 years. it's not working anymore.
