They want to do the trade of the century: destroy the USD, summon the world into chaos, and acquire assets at cheap prices with their hoarded gold.<br /><br />They probably would invest in defence (offence) industry later, as a world war would ensue in a few decades most probably.<br /><br />I've seen this trait of nihilism and destructive behaviour in a lot of right-wing 'libertarians', gold-bugs etc. (Yeah, yeah, wait for Bob Roddis comment on how he is against violence, but does it matter when your own stupidity is producing it?

Then the gold hoards could pick up assets at vulture prices.
