crazy, investors instinctively begin flocking to precious metals.\u00a0 So it wasn\u2019t exactly a surprise when gold and silver prices started to move upward aggressively as global leaders continued to talk about the possibility of World War III and nuclear conflict.\u00a0 The price of gold spiked to a five month high on Tuesday, and as I write this article gold is currently sitting at $1277.10 an ounce.\u00a0 Right now silver is at $18.35 an ounce, and many analysts believe that it is poised for a dramatic jump in the weeks and months to come as global tensions continue to rise.\u00a0 Google searches for the phrase <a title=\"\u201cgoing to war\u201d\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2017-04-11\/worlds-scariest-chart\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cgoing to war\u201d<\/a> are the highest that they have been at any point in recent years, and many people out there are starting to understand that the U.S. could soon be facing military conflicts in Syria and in North Korea <a

they are attacked by the U.S. military.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, an article that was just published in North Korea\u2019s official state newspaper says that U.S bases <a title=\"\u201cin South Korea

missiles that can reach the U.S. mainland, so that is probably an empty threat, but they can definitely hit Seoul, Tokyo and all U.S. military bases in South Korea and Japan.<\/p>\n<p>And even if the U.S. was able to locate and take out all North Korean nukes in an overwhelming first strike, the North Koreans would still have thousands of artillery guns and rockets aimed at
