That's cool, but I'd like to see them start selling any meaningful amounts of their gold reserves. Putin was preparing for sanctions since 2006 and they currently hold 2,335.85 tonnes of gold that is worth approximately $144.94 billion. They also produce circa $20 billion worth of gold per year with plans to ramp it up a bit. Not enough to cover the war effort, but it helps them. Once this chart goes down we'll know they're in trouble.
The question I have is - how to get India off of the Russian oil supply?
Two thirds of it is kept in one building in Moscow, I'm reading.
Just saying.
Does Russia even have border guards anymore? Couldn't some random people just get past the border, shoot some fucks standing next to a building, load some gold into a truck and roll out?
Way too much to put on one truck. Besides, it'd be way funnier to let Russians run off with it.
Just saying. In Minecraft. Hypothetically, etc.
