I didn't realize that you were the judge of worthy contributions. I'm sure more people will be encouraged to post if they think they are being judged for their worthiness.
People who are nuked at ground zero won't be using anyone's seeds, from Norway or elsewhere. Dead people don't need seeds.
There's a middle ground you haven't considered.
Suppose a bomb goes off in the USA that doesn't wipe out the whole country but destroys large areas of farming or the infrastructure that transports food from farms to markets. Local communities are relatively unscathed but won't have safe food sources for a long time. They also won't have suppliers bringing in more seed packets to local stores.
If those people plan ahead and buy and store safe seeds for that contingency, then that is a good source for purchasing the seeds now, before an emergency happens.
Yes, people can buy seeds from Walmart now but also keep in mind:
"These seeds are authentic strains which are NOT genetically modified in any way. When the going gets tough... you'll only want this special type of seed which will produce not only outstanding nutritional plants but will allow you to plant the seeds from the plants you grow unlike sterile hybrids. Most seed companies are now selling only "terminator" seeds which have been genetically modified and will not reproduce themselves."
If you aren't interested in doing that, that's fine. But someone else might be. Why not give them the opportunity to judge for themselves?
I'd rather not be dependent on seeds that are stored across the ocean in a foreign country. How can we be sure they'll ever make it to America if needed?
I never said that.
