i read that during the Spanish civil war , Stalin would help if Russia could get Spain's gold to hold for "safe keeping". So i guess Russia still has the gold that Spain looted from the Incas.

Well, the Incas weren't using it.
Only a fellow communist or socialist would be stupid enough to trust someone like Stalin or a corrupt system like Russia. Unfortunately we never learn from history, hence the rise in prominence of Bernie and the squad. Bob
"weren't using it" sounds like a flash mob scheme.
Around 10 yrs. ago Venezuela asked the U.S government for their Billions in gold we were holding for them at Ft. Knox to help their economy over some economic issues, last I heard/read the U.S was fumbling and stumbling around the issue of return so I guess like the old saying "possession is 9/10 th's ownership "

I have heard many times over the gold is long gone they refuse to let any one see it or access to it many years ago they let a few reporters in opened one door for a few fast photos then hustled them out . for all we know it was just lead bars or just a stack close to the door to look full
I have seen programs that say some have the "job of just transferring the gold from one compartment ( as in one country ) to another country's compartment but the USA still has it all + many priceless treasures from many country's aroun🤨d the world for safe keeping
I think the same good luck getting it back
also Switzerland who is supposed to still have billions in stolen loot from the German's in WWII story several years ago they gave it back ya right it was all given back
as far as Stalin and Russa ... sure there honest 😲
Franco wanted it back. Russia claims it paid for loyalist arms and ammo
