I wonder how much of the gold in Fort Knox has been counted the same way they count votes in Chicago?
I’ve never been a huge gold fan but ya gotta admit Putin makes sense on this. It is increasingly doubtful that USA will be able to survive another 4 years of the destructive fiscal, monetary, tax, and regulatory policies (as well as defense, international, and social policies) of these last 4 years.
Sure ol Pooty Pootin has more than he can carry stashed safely “just in case”.
Rubles? Could be (but when govts fall their replacements may not honor former obligations, just ask any investor in russian imperial paper). As between rubles and gold, the gold may be better?
As Russia is a large gold producer and the countries other large export commodity, oil, will be subject to cost pressure in the coming years..I’d say this is an attempt to shore up the gold price.
When I see that picture, I only hope that Putin (who is a hero of mine) sinks a small drill bit into it to make sure it’s all gold.
As long as we’re printing money, why not print a few extra trillion and buy half the world’s gold?
I think the gold in Fort Knox is like the money in the Social Security “Lock Box”.
Goldbug ping.
Like the old Looney Tunes schtick:
One for you, one for me
Two for you, one, two for me
Three for you, one, two, three for me...
Why worry, it’s not like it’s actual money or anything as important to following the Constitution or something screwy like that < / s >
In 2002, on His 50th birthday, Vladimir Putin was given a very symbolic gift: an exact copy of the Holy Russian crown.
Russia has lots of imperial crowns, but this one is very special.
The original crown [which is in the Kremlin armory] may have been given to Ivan 1 by the Mongol Khan, Uzbeg.
See crown and info here:

On His birthday in 2009, Vladimir Putin was also given a symbolic gift: a crown cloud hovered over the city of Moscow on Oct 7 [His birthday.]
Notice the similarity of the crown’s fur to the irregular borders of the crown cloud.

The more gold a country has, the more sovereignty it will have if theres a cataclysm with the dollar, the euro, the pound or any other reserve currency, Evgeny Fedorov, a lawmaker for Putins United Russia party
...Can You EAT it?
” And The Seas became Blood”
James 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
