Stay tuned, I suspect the US does not have what they say they have….which is why states like Utah, Texas, and a few others have started state owned gold depositories.
“Such a scenario would explain news reports from 2014 about Ukraine’s gold reserves being “hastily airlifted” to the United States from Borispol Airport just east of Kyiv.”

Keep in mind the same happened to Libya- they never got theirs back….nor did Venezuela and a few others. Ukraine it appears is going to have one huge surprise coming……
The US has a lot of gold plated tungsten bars to send. Lol if these idiots think that our gold reserves aren’t gone. Some of them were found in Menendez’s closet...
They are not actually “plated,” more like jacketed.
“ which is why states like Utah, Texas, and a few others have started state owned gold depositories.”

…and now Kansas….some appear to be in the know…seven states it appears are “ preparing “….many more to follow.
“ Kansans could start using gold and silver as currency to cover debts, taxes, and state fees if the Kansas specie legal tender act is passed.
Twenty-seven Kansas representatives sponsored the bill, which advocates say allows people to protect themselves from inflation. Several of the proponents also spoke broadly about their belief that gold is a superior form of currency compared to fiat.
“It seems a little bit odd to me that we’re seeking to authorize gold and silver as legal tender, because it was used for thousands of years as legal tender to pay bills, to trade, what have you,” said Rep. Michael Murphy, R-Sylvia…”
Iraq, Libya and Ukraine are all USA ops to get gold to give back to countries we stole from. That’s my story.
There was a story a few years ago that reported that Germany stores a lot of its gold in the US. Germany notified that they would come to the US to audit their gold reserves. The US said that they could not come and look at their gold. Don't worry, we said. We still have your gold, we said. It's safe, we said. You just can't come and look at it.
“gold plated tungsten bars”
How is it that there is no non-destructive testing method or two to separate the wheat from the chaff?
There is. Once you can get to them. As one other poster said, the Fed hasn’t been audited since the 1950s.
I wonder how much the NYS persecution of Donald Trump and the attempted confiscation of maybe a billion dollars from him plays into this. That NYS effort reeks of banana republic where no private assets are safe and, if they succeed at it once, they will do it a thousand times. It’s not just NYC developers standing up and taking notice.
Bitcoin at least doesn’t pretend to not be fiat currency.
Very easy to test for 100% gold content inside any gold covered brick. Heard of Archimedes of the Eureka game?
Going to be an interesting calamity for sure, a thinning the herd period...
W is too close in density.

“ According to a 2023 Invesco survey, a “substantial percentage” of central banks expressed concern about how the U.S. and its allies froze nearly half of Russia’s $650 billion gold and forex reserves. One anonymous central banker told Invesco that his country quietly repatriated its gold from London, and some 68% of the banks surveyed said they are keeping their gold reserve within their country’s borders—up from 50% in 2020.”

Why would any RATIONAL sovereign nation entrust any portion of its gold or other monetary reserves to a nation (e.g., UK, USA) that freezes and/or seizes the reserves of other nations?
Why would any rational nation NOT be planning on repatriating its reserves from such GIBS-ME-DAT-GOLD thieving nation?
Still enough difference to be measured but I can understand your point.
Because fort Knox is more safe than third world countries.
