Russia has initiated the sale of physical gold from its reserves, marking a pivotal shift in budget management amid ongoing military expenses.

Buying one way tickets to hell for Russian soldiers by selling off Russia’s gold and treasure… What will be left when all the humans and gold have been carelessly traded away by Putin to power the mindless Russian war machine?

    I’m all for it but how do you stop gold being sold? I mean you could probably sell it in asia or africa if the EU forbid it?

    Oil takes whole boats to transport, and we can’t even do that correctly ☹️

      I was referring specifically to western financial institutions buying. Really a comment on how hard it is to stop the west from financing Putin. A difficult problem.
