The transfer was carried out partially by buying and selling and partly by physically transferring gold, the Dutch national bank said.
Why stop at the UK? Feels like they’re teetering on the edge.
Damned right move. Trump could simply claim it all and wtf is anyone gonna do about it?
As a Canadian I cant help but interpret this as nothing against Canada, but insecurity about our increasingly belligerent neighbour.
This is what it is
That is basically it yeah. The vast majority of gold was moved from the US (essentially 41% of Dutch gold reserves in the US were moved out), while we barely moved anything out of Canada.
The official reason is “crisis preparedness”, but I believe the actual unofficial and unspoken reason is that the US is simply too unreliable to store our gold.
But isn’t that exactly being prepared for the crisis?
Yes. Crisis preparedness is just polite talk for “we expect shit to hit the fan, so we are acting on it”.
IMO, it’s way worse than just claiming the US is unreliable.
This is the second story/country like this I’ve read about recently doing this same thing. I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be a political signal or if these countries are anticipating some kind of breakdown in their ability to access the gold if it remains in the US. Do they think we wouldn’t give it up? Do they expect there will be war on this continent? Do they fear Trump will plunder it? It’s a somewhat unsettling consideration.
The US kidnapped the Venezuelan leader to get to their oil, has threatened military invasion of Greenland, and is constantly showing that laws do not apply, why would any nation want to keep gold in the US?
Direct consequence of the pedo regime deliberately signalling instability
They are worried about: Trump: “Give me ________ or I’m taking your gold.”
They are worried about having their gold stolen, basically.
Fascist governments have a history of hoarding resources.
I don’t blame them. It’s very hard to retrieve your treasure from a sunken ship.
You load 16 tons what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt.
Don The Con already used it to make gold toilets.
Time to rewatch GoldFinger and have a good laugh.
