I don’t know if the actual value of the gold is enough to really move the needle on a modern government war budget. Enough to make a small group insanely rich, definitely.

Saddest part is his grand strategy is literally open source, i.e. “Foundations of Geopolitics”, written by a Russian ultra nationalist, taught in Russian military academy’s.

False equivalency.
