Why dont' they just delete the zeroes who run Iran?😭

Well, from body language, looks like a bromance to me.😰

The reason it takes so long to fill cabinet seats is there is intense competition to get these seats, then steal the people's money.

I think Adam is right. Getting more stable all the time. This is a glitch. It could give the Trump Administration leverage over Iraq, get them to implement changes, kick out the Iranians, put an American base in Iraq. If that happens, this thing is done.

Trump should put sanctions on Iraq, till they stop the Auctions, pass the Oil Law.

Guru Kaperoni was my waiter this evening. Nice guy, but he doesn't know his Gorgonzola from his Monte Veronese. 😎🧀🌭

God bless President Trump. Blessings also to Iranian people. May they be freed soon, from the current jackasses running that country. May they do sensible things, cooperate, embrace economic progress, quit being terrorists, so that trade may make Iranians rich and happy. May the bellies of their children be full. May their old people live in peace. Amen.

IMF guardianship lifted? Iraq is now the boss of Iraq?

Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams to you and yours....

Curious thing: I was on "Open Mind" on you-tube, a live meeting of President Trump and his cabinet, today, January 2,on a wide range of topics. When the topic of dealing with Kurdistan came up, the picture and sound went dead, on my end. Maybe it's nothing....or maybe they wanted to pull the plug, for a reason. Who knows?

Here's my guess on what Kellyanne meant about President Trump's plans for Iraq: The announcement to come out soon, is that American troops are going to Kurdistan, to stay. They will not be allowed, in other areas of Iraq. The Kurds are a land locked people's, with no ocean access for their oil. The other Iraqis hate the Kurds and have invaded and murdered many Kurds. In exchange for an American base in Kurdistan, the Kurds will sign on to the new Oil Law, then the currency will be allowed to RV, and we will all make a lot of money. My guess is, by the end of this January, 2019, this will happen. We'll see if I am right. If I am right, you will remember, that I was right, won't you?.....lol

What I am watching for: I followed the politics of Iraq, for a while. Here are some key things: -Saddam gassed 50,000 Kurds, including women and children, back in the 1990s -Saddam was Arab -Kurds despise Arabs -Kurds have power in their political system, over oil deals -Strangely, Kurds love Americans...the only Muslim group I know of, where this is true -Kurds are a land-locked group, with no access to ocean, or a way of getting their oil out, that doesn't involve pleasing a rival, like Arabs to the South, or Turks, or Iranian/Insanians -America hates the Iranian regime and President Trump and is trying to bring them down -America wants a military base near Iran -Kurds have a border with Iran -There will be no oil law, till Kurds feel secure -Kurds would welcome a permanent American military base on their soil, but the Arabs hate the idea So, my conclusion: No oil deal, no oil law, till the Kurds get an American military base on their soil. In fact, Kurds would be fools to sign onto an oil deal, without American protection When you see and agreement on a permanent American military base happening, RV is just around the corner....imo

Iraq can't RV till President Trump destroys Iran. It's one of his goals. Iran and Iraq are tied in, together, with Iran meddling with Iraq politics, which interferes with President Trump's plans for Iran, which are to get rid of the government, get rid of Iranian nuke capacity. And America controls money, because the whole world and trade runs on the American dollar. So this could take a few years more. Wait till you see the Iranian regime fall, a new pro-American Iranian government, a new deal between America and Iran, on nukes. Then and only then, is RV realistic. Sorry for the bad news, but I think that's the way it rolls. Don't even bother watching Iraqi politics, for clues as to when this will happen. Iraq is irrelevant, to that. And this RV could have happened years ago, if America wanted it. They didn't. America has other goals in that region, and until we get them, your currency is worthless. Go enjoy your grand-kids for a few years, instead of wasting your time here. Unverified. My opine. I think my cousin Luigi1 would agree.

Oh good, everyone quit your jobs now.

Peter Theil is President Trump's chief advisor on technology. He runs Theil Capital, which is an investment fund, that looks for promising investments. Peter Theil used to be Elon Musk's business partner, when they founded PayPal....on which both men got very, very rich....multi-billionaire rich. Eric Weinstein is a top mathematician and economist, and he works for Theil Capital, looking for interesting ways to make shitt loads of money, investing. Joe Rogan is one of the top interviewers on you-tube...maybe the top one, with 4 Million Subscribers. I was watching Joe Rogan interviewing Eric Weinstein, and in the first hour, Eric Weinstein several times was talking about a theoretical investment. What term did he use for this theoretical investment? He called it "The Dinar".....can you guess why? Here's my guess: Eric Weinstein, and Peter Theil are heavily invested in the Iraqi Dinar....that is "The Dinar" investment they talked about .Hold on to your hats. This shitt is going to get real. Treat as rumor. My opine. Go watch Joe interview Eric Weinstein, most recent interview of those two, who have done a couple interviews, if you don't believe me. I can't make this up. And I didn't.

Are we there yet? 😂😬🦄🌈

Donald Trump wants to break up NATO....and I support him, in that. Turkey doesn't belong in NATO, and millions of Turks have lived in Germany, for decades. Now that Islam is taking over Europe, the leaders of Europe have a big problem. There is a civil war coming to Europe. America pays most of the bills for NATO, and the governments of Europe let in millions of migrants, and hundreds of millions are planned. So all this means the American Taxpayer is paying for American troops, to keep law and order in Europe, while Islam takes over the continent. Trump is shrewd enough to see this coming, knows it's a bad deal for America, and is generally insane, and will end in war, so he wants to break up NATO, of which Turkey is a part of. So Trump put pressure about the pastor, and steel and currency etc. He knew how horrible Turkey is on political dissent. That's part of the reason they don't belong in NATO....Turkey is run by Islamic fascists who want to take over Europe and get the Americans to provide security, while they do it. Donald Trump is not a fool and won't fall for it. He wishes to preserve Western culture. The Cold War is long over. America is being played for being a sucker, as are the American taxpayer. Europe was vulnerable after WWII, needed our help, but those days are gone. Europe is rich now and can work out their own security arrangements, and pay for it. They don't need our help. And if Europe wants to let in hundreds of millions of Muslim refugees, I say let them. American troops should not die, to protect Europe, from the coming Muslim invasion. American taxpayers should not be sent the bill for it all. NATO should have ended 25 years ago. No one had the guts to do it. Right wingers have to admit their share of the guilt in this: They support the military, as do I. But this means a lot of money at stake, and jobs. And when we had a real enemy to defeat: the Soviet Union, then I supported a lot of military spending. But now? No reason for NATO, no reason to pay rich European country's security and military bills. No reason for American taxpayer to pay for Islam to take over Europe. That's just bloody insane. I still want a strong military, and lots of money for it, lots of jobs. But I don't want America part of Europe, because what NATO is up to, is crazy. Our troops can be used in other places, to stabilize them, and build complex Space Defense Forces....like President Trump said.

Ask yourself this question: If you were the head, of one of the world's biggest credit card companies, and you were negotiating with the government of Iraq, to use your credit card internationally, and use it with the Iraqi Dinar, and if you knew the Iraqi Dinar was NOT traded internationally, but the card would be issued in Iraqi Dinars....then do you think you would ask the Iraqi Finance Minister directly: Do you intend to trade the Iraqi Dinar internationally? Of course you would. And if you did not get a pretty clear and convincing answer to that question, you would not sign any international usage agreements for your card. So what must have happened, behind the scenes at the negotiations, is that the head of MasterCard or Visa or UninP asked the Finance Minister about this, and must have got a pretty convincing "Yes"...... The people who run credit card companies, are not fools. They would have to believe that Iraq will trade it's currency, internationally, in the foreseeable future....or they never would have signed those agreements. If the head of MasterCard is convinced this will happen....then that is good enough for me, to believe it...

Make the Dinar Great Again!

"Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves" is the best known Arab story, and should be required reading for anyone doing business in Iraq.

Make Iraqi Dinar Great Again!

The Arabs that I've met, sure seem to like drinking soft drinks, a lot. Maybe they have a sweet tooth, maybe that's what it's like in hot country...drink a lot of liquid. I might put some money in Baghdad Soft Drink Company. (BSDC)
