Doomsday investment question...

My retirement is largely in TSP (a 401 for federal workers), a possible future pension from govt employment, with lesser amounts in home value. I'm making the 401. With extra money, I'd like to invest in something safe from American dictatorship, a nestegg if I need to take off for Ireland (where my son has a citizenship claim), Canada, UK or Australia (if I can still work, I have an in demand job but I'm now in my 50s), or Latin America. How to hedge?

Have you ever looked at this site.

https://retireinstitute.com/

It does not specifically answer your question but does give a pretty good overview.

They do try to sell services, but not a bad place to start. Also, fedsmith.com and federal news radio all have good stuff on the tsp.
