Thanks Yota! This sounds like progress!!!

Or maybe the Biden Administration could take accountability. Totally avoidable by opening up production here in the US. Maybe after the drubbing in November things will change.

Wait and see on the government and budget this weekend. I won’t hold my breath. If it does come to pass as gurus are stating, that would be good news. Maybe then we’ll get some more articles about the exchange rate debate and the tail chasing continues.

Pimpi, I have 7 million Dinar…I must have more faith in the Dinar than you do. 😆😉😎

With all the 💲 they are bringing in with the high oil prices, it is not that big a deal. What is a big deal is trying to buy stuff with wheelbarrow loads of cash because your currency is worthless. Come join the 21st century Iraq. Your growth and reserves are strong enough to do so.

Russia Shuts Off Gas To European Nations Refusing To Pay In Rubles By Dillon Burroughs • Apr 27, 2022 DailyWire.com • SERGEI GUNEYEV/Sputnik/AFP via Getty Images A majority state-owned Russian oil and gas company has cut off natural gas to Poland and Bulgaria after the two European nations refused to pay in rubles. Russian gas corporation Gazprom announced on Wednesday that it had shut off access due to unpaid April bills after the nations refused to pay in Russian currency. “The announcement by Gazprom that it is unilaterally stopping delivery of gas to customers in Europe is yet another attempt by Russia to use gas as an instrument of blackmail,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement. “This is unjustified and unacceptable. And it shows once again the unreliability of Russia as a gas supplier,” she added. Fatih Birol, the executive director of the Paris-based International Energy Agency, said the cutoff was a “weaponization of energy supplies,” according to the Associated Press. The AP also noted that natural gas prices in Europe shot up 25% in response to the report before easing later in the day. Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov noted the concern in a Twitter post, mentioning a call with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis regarding “energy security and diversification.” Poland Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said he believed the move was in revenge for his nation’s support of Ukraine following Russia’s invasion. In a post to Twitter, the prime minister noted he had spoken with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz “about an urgent delivery of arms to [Ukraine] and reliance on [Russian] gas and oil. Short term it will be difficult to wean Europe off them, but long term it will serve peace. Europe cannot afford to live in constant danger from [Russian] aggression.” The concern also comes as Russia continues to blame other nations over problems related to its invasion of Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused NATO on Monday of escalating the war in Ukraine and warned of a “considerable” threat of a nuclear world war. Lavrov said the West has escalated tensions by providing weapons to Ukraine as the Russian army continues its assault on the European country, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. “The risk is serious, real. It should not be underestimated,” Lavrov told Russian state-run TV. “Under no circumstances should a third world war be allowed to happen.” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called out the Russian blame strategy, claiming the move indicates the nation is suffering defeat. “Russia loses last hope to scare the world off supporting Ukraine. Thus the talk of a ‘real’ danger of WWIII. This only means Moscow senses defeat in Ukraine. Therefore, the world must double down on supporting Ukraine so that we prevail and safeguard European and global security,” he tweeted. https://www.dailywire.com/news/russia-shuts-off-gas-to-european-nations-refusing-to-pay-in-rubles Perhaps a chance for Iraq to provide natural gas to Europe? Get in there Iraq!

Well, this kind of talk gets countries like Iran sweetheart deals and billions of dollars in cash in the dark of night from Barak Hussain Obama and his sidekick Joe Biden. we know how Al Sadr feels about America, why not add Israel to the list and watch the American left reward this rhetoric with praise and adoration. This is going backwards.

I think we will see Iraq de peg from the dollar, delete the zeros, RV and go international at a lower rate. THEN they will let their currency float on the open market (it will go up in value). The only question is WHEN???!!!

If Kap or Frank were able to produce real evidence, like a video or news story regarding these reeducation “symposiums” that are allegedly being held for the citizens, I’d be more inclined to pay attention. It’s a bunch of BS and just theories on both sides of the issue. On one hand you have education regarding the project to delete the zeros (Frank) and on the other a LOP (Kap).

Jesus Christ was resurrected. He lives! Not a rumor, verified, not opinion. (Maybe this should be in the news section!) 😇

If only there was real tangible evidence of this economic recovery and growth for the citizens of Iraq and the rest of the world. 🧐

Best conditions lately? These clowns are terrible politicians. How many citizens are gonna agree with that statement? I’d guess nobody outside the greedy elites.

Same thing I am wondering. Maybe the virus of inflation has spread from the good ol’ US dollar to Iraq. Let’s just pump millions more into the system. 🙄 What they should be doing (and I hope they are planning to do) is ditch the dollar and use their own currency revalued to provide purchasing power and go international to reflect their real position as a rich nation amidst the Middle East honchos (Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi’s, etc.)

I’m with you. May it be so!

RPMAC, Iraq has a LOT of oil. I’ve read that they do not have the capacity to ramp up production fast enough to supply the US and other European nations and meet the demand. It’s an infrastructure problem and a manpower problem. They will get there someday, but right now they just can’t do it fast enough.

🙄 Luigi, this kind of crap is not even worthy of posting. IDK why I’m even wasting 30 seconds to comment on it.

Thank you Yota and 6ly for getting us the news. From these articles I gather that if the time passes to elect a President, the constitution states things revert to the current government until new elections can be held again. And we Americans think our government officials are obstinate. Holy donkeys, these guys are stubborn!

Feels like Tuesday for Chris Rock!

Oil is well over $100 a barrel and these clowns are complaining about fluctuation?! What difference does it make whether the price is $114 or $95? It’s still WAY above anything in their budget. It would seem the only rich Iraqis are in the government and they have no reason to change—they’re all in on it.

Laid Back, Agree 💯. The economists at the CBI have got to realize being pegged to the dollar is killing them. That coupled with Sadr’s desire to kick America out of everything in Iraq should be enough to get them to remove from the program rate, stop the auctions and go international. Get it done!

Iran is obviously trying to stir things up in hope of starting WWIII over there. There are a few other nations that want the same thing—China is content to sit back until everyone else is involved so they can waltz into Taiwan without resistance from the free world. I am flabbergasted at why Biden is so intent on resurrecting a worse version of Barack Husain Obama’s deal with Iran.

Thank you for your analysis Yogaman. I agree completely. I have always planned to buy real estate and a luxury car…or two 😉 and then fund a few other investments. Recent months the economic trends and rate of inflation has only solidified those plans in my mind. I will not waste any time once I make the exchange. Pressures are building here and in Iraq. Something’s gotta give and soon.

Dependence on foreign oil makes us weak. Imagine the damage we could do to Russia…actually the war could have been avoided entirely had Bidumb also not given the nod for Russia’s Nord 2 pipeline. Absolute incompetence in foreign policy. Hurts us domestically, unless you are an elite that has money to burn like John Kerry and other climate idiots.

My first thought was the White House and the clown show complete with peppermint patty. 😄

Well said. Frank talks so much, he is running out of bullshit to spread, so he resorts to useless common expressions from a Kenny Rogers song. 😆
