    Do it, please. Hit the US in the only place The Turd cares about. All nations should sell their US bonds as well, a bit at a time, tighten the screws until bankers pull their strings to remove the fascists from power.

      Yeah sadly though, the same bankers that helped put him in power there have a lot of power here. They are a transnational disease.

    I doubt it’s even still there. I wouldn’t put it past Trump to have stolen it years back, but it was all kept hush hush.

      That was my first thought as well. Maybe this is more of a “uh, guys? We would like to see our gold real quick. You… Still got it, right?”

      Cause I don’t think they do. Just imagine the outcome of that audit if this is the case. Wowza.

    Afghanistan had its treasury holdings in US banks. Iraq still does. It doesn’t have permission to withdraw, and its oil revenue goes into US controlled bank account. ie. The US has veto power over Iraq government spending budget. Venezuela, now has such an explicitly bragged about arrangement, with explicit promise to directly steal Venezuela funds for US/Trump interests.

    It’s a good test of sovereignty to request withdrawal, or selling whatever is supposed to be held.
