In a similar vein, I wanted Joe Brandon to do the stupid mint the trillion dollar coin shit because it would've made an amazing Payday heist. "Gang, the 12th Infantry group is escorting the Coin from the mint to the Treasury, this is our only opening."

Why are they so concerned? It was completely appropriate when the US seized the gold reserves of Afghanistan, Venezuela, and Russia right? The rules based international order had no problems with it, a precedent has been set already!

He has previously lobbied to visit the gold reserves and personally inspect them, but his request was rejected in 2012.

The yanks stole it long ago. Nordstreamed again

Funniest possible outcome. The Germans found out it was stolen, try to get it back, fail, then agree agree for the money to be spent on Ukraine as a compensation. The money is never spent on Ukraine.

why does germany have $124 billion in gold in the US Federal Reserve in New York?

Apparently it goes back to the early cold war with West Germany wanting a strategically safe storage location. They've been trying to repatriate for a while now.
