This guy is a nut. If the USA needs that gold we can send in a couple of divisions and get it, and if they are real lucky, the locals won't get pounded back to the stone age.

As a practical matter we need only know where the gold is and it might as well be ours, or anybody else's if they can get there with sufficient force.

I'd put my bucks on tulip bulbs if we need to face world ending disruptions. You not only can eat them raw they have a very long shelf life. Their price zooms up into that of multi-carat diamonds under such conditions (1943 Zuider Zee and nearby flooded lands ~ they had a famine also).

Clever, but you might do better with wheat and beans, both of which store for decades, cost vastly less, and are much more nutritious.
