Why would one keep their gold in another country, one that is an ocean away no less, when the gold reserve is not threatened by invasion or civil war?
I think the idea is that it’s easier to get loans and stabilize your currency when the gold is already in the country you would be getting the loans from.
Or it might just be some sort of findom thing.
Okay I’ve never understood why other countries give us their gold to hold onto anyway
Germany is absolutely capable of guarding a gold vault on their own. Every country in Europe is. Why would you give it to us in the first place?
lol oops
Why are they worried, it’s not like the us has done this twice before in recent memory? If that was the case surely this article would have mentioned it!
The UK stole gold from Venezuela just a few years ago. And the US told them to do it.
That’s what I was referencing, though I forgot it was the uk doing it at the behest of the us. The other one I was referencing was seizing Russian assets, but I don’t think that included actual gold so I’m 0 for 2 apparently
Edit: and actually didn’t they do the same asset seizure shit to Afghanistan as well?
Not quite the same, but they took Iraq’s gold too iirc
“Can I have it back?”
“What gold?”
exactly lmao. The moment any country tries to withdraw their gold from American vaults, they’re just gonna be like “hm. What if I keep it? What are you gonna do about it?”
…and then they’ll wonder how they crashed their own currency. BRICS just sitting back & eating popcorn.
Good luck with that
Step 1 convince Trump to fund a bunch of pay phones in nyc to “bring back the glam of the 80s” or whatever to sell it to his dying brain
Step 2 use the pay phones to do an elaborate Simon Says prank on 2 guys in order to steal all the gold ala Die Hard 3

Too late. It’s in Switzerland.
