G7 To Ban Russian Gold Imports
- Thread starter Pinocchio
- Start date
Ok, so G7 bans Russian gold imports. And what exactly is that going to do, aside from speeding up the downfall of the west?
How exactly, does this stop the war?
Those sanctions really are doing something... aren' they? Especially with India & China & all the other Rooskie friendlies partying it up with cheap oil etc. right now.

.......Meanwhile, on the economic front, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said banning imports of Russian gold would represent a significant escalation of sanctions.
“That is the second-most lucrative export that Russia has after energy.” Blinken told American news channel CNN. “It’s about $19 billion a year. And most of that is within the G7 countries. So cutting that off, denying access to about $19 billion of revenues a year, that’s significant.”

Will be interesting to see if gold price reacts.
My thoughts, I doubt it as gold price is continually manipulated, has nothing to do with supply or demand.

India is selling Russian oil they bought at a huge discount to Europe at full market price. And they are supposedly, boycotting Russian oil? All they did is give India a slice of the profit being the middle man. As for natural gas, most of Europe has only supplies good to fill only 50% of their storage tanks. When it runs out, what are they going to do then? Germany is back to using dirty coal to run its businesses. It is almost out of natural gas too.
