The media shouldn’t be using words like ‘secure’, it’s plain stealing, robbing. Nothing else
France was smart, sold their gold in-situ and purchased new gold in EU that is stored in France.
Never have to worry about the fact that US probably already sold the gold, since they sold it in-situ.

People keep saying stuff like this. But I have never seen even a shred of evidence that it is true. A good tinfoil hat conspiracy theory should at least have some hint of its reality.
Who bought the nonexistent gold?
Probably a bunch of armageddon preppers or something
The English-language media is bought by the US
It’s called robbing. They rob Venezuela.
Yeah Venezuela just got mugged by the US.
Not even the first time
On one hand, I guess it’s good that we are no longer pretending to not be an imperial nation and have given in fully to empire.
On the other hand, fuck me I’m so ashamed of this country. I wish people could pay attention to the shit we are doing.
“intervention”. Fucking news.
The whole fucking article is just euphemisms.
What do you expect from a site called oilprice.com?
“british move to secure land from natives”
vow to send mercy missions to help with the diesease epidemics obviously brought down on them from god.
To the surprise of no one…
“Securing”, my ass. I don’t know how much that is, but it have a good chance to be the biggest heist ever. Trump seems to like superlatives associated with his name…
“but I love goooold”
Probably needs it for his “Ballroom”.
Steal, that should read
They can’t stop thieving can they?
Thieves, rapists, kid rapists, kid killers.
See it’s not stealing, it’s securing
Of course, it’s different isn’t it, I forgot
I wonder what Venezuelans think of this. Do they feel freer after the military operation that removed Maduro? Is Maduro’s No. 2 a better president to them? Has life gotten better? What do they think of this new leader letting others take what belongs to the Venezuelan people? Do they know when the next elections will take place?
Small sample/anecdotic, but the ones I know see it a s “not freed, only under new management”.
Mind is people that already left due to how things were, so they had little love for maduro to begin with.
Most US Americans appear to have no issue with this.
Bro most Americans don’t even know about this
I am amazed whenever a 'murican can even correctly point where Mexico and Canada are in a map. The bar is that low
It seems to be common for people here to think the general population is as well informed as Lemmy is.
Making sure there is still something in the vault after every other country pulled back their gold out of the USA.
There is not enough by a factor of 3; France was the smart one at the table to realize it first
-
The U.S. has brokered new gold deals with Venezuela as part of a broader push to reshape the country’s resource sector under its influence.
-
Venezuela is opening its oil and mining industries to foreign investment to rebuild output after years of decline.
-
Serious concerns remain over environmental destruction and human rights abuses linked to mining in the Orinoco region.
In short; oil.
