How DARE these countries think that their gold isn’t the gold of the EU and US kleptocrats!

Geopolitical concerns, combined with opportunities in emerging markets, are also encouraging some central banks to diversify away from the dollar.
Hmmmm....something/someone seems to be missing from this statement. 🤔

I’m sure it will be just as secure in the mud huts back home!

Didn’t the U.S. confiscate some of the Russian gold? I haven’t heard what happened after that. I suppose we could have said it belongs to Russia but we will return it to Putin’s successor and the end of the war in Ukraine.

Impounding Russian gold and money as western weapon was a profoundly short sighted tactic. It convinced other nations that if they do not follow our rules, we will grab their cash.
Having the reserve currency means you can’t use it for a weapon. If you do, you kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

” I suppose we could have said it belongs to Russia but we will return it to Putin’s successor and the end of the war in Ukraine.”
That is just as odious. “We will seize your assets and return it when someone we approve of is in charge, but we aren’t stealing it.”
If your banker did that to you, would you ever go there again? If you saw a bank do that to your neighbor, would you keep your account there?

But since we've confiscated his stuff already, I'm in no hurry to return it to him. Especially because he will use it to fund his war machine in Ukraine.

I'm sure there are regulations and if it's obvious one of their customers is about to commit a crime against humanity, then they'll do something about it.

Known nazis? We didn’t confiscate Zelinskys gold.
Bottom line, we stole their money as a weapon against them. Now half the world is flipping us the finger and walking down the street to the BRICS.

Exactly why the potential for a new BRICs currency has grown exponentially.
To: kiryandil
Ever since learning about FDR’s forced confiscation(purchase) of all gold belonging to citizens of the USA for much less than it was worth, I choose not to own gold as an investment, because Democrats get elected too often.
