U.S. Senate Wants Sanctions On Russia's Gold Reserves

Putin rapidly increased the pace of Russia's gold buying in 2014, just as the U.S. imposed fresh sanctions when Russia invaded Crimea 

Daily Mail: Republican and Democrat Senators propose bill to stop Putin liquidating $132billion in GOLD reserves in a bid to get around crippling economic sanctions 

* The bill is being introduced by Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, John Cornyn, R-Texas, Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., and Maggie Hassan D-N.H. 

* It would apply secondary sanctions to anyone transporting gold from Russia's central bank holdings or selling gold physically or electronically in Russia 

* Sanctions against Russia have frozen the nation's foreign exchange assets 

* The senators note that the Kremlin is escaping sanctions through a loophole that allows the Kremlin to launder money through gold 

A group of bipartisan senators is putting forth a bill to cut Vladimir Putin off from the $132 billion Russia holds in gold reserves. 

The bill, introduced by Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, John Cornyn, R-Texas, Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., and Maggie Hassan D-N.H., would apply secondary sanctions to anyone transacting with or transporting gold from Russia's central bank holdings or selling gold physically or electronically in Russia.

The USG has to make it known they will give it back with interest after there is a peace settlement or a change of government. Otherwise, it is out right theft.

This is either the drunk walk Olympics or missiles might fly.

As Mike Pompeo said it best, ‘We lie, we cheat, we steal’. That’s the American way.

WNU is having the tie of his life. It is best of times and to is the worst of times. WNU is making lemonade. The kinship/friendship network is being reinforced and for homo sapiens that is about as good as it gets.
