The screw keeps turning to move support over to the State and at each turn the State has to step up and do what is needed. E.g., Safety and security test: no protesters murdered by rogue elements in uniforms. Check✓ [Let's hope that continues.] Wondering how many more turns it is going to take, but things look like they are getting locked down more and more every day. Financial cooperation: G7 on board.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away ... .

Keep upping the pressure on the streets to move Iraq closer to the people and further from Iran, and further from corrupt Iraqi factions. The brinkmanship just keeps building. Combine the news that we have been getting since Iran attacked Iraq using cruise missiles to attack US troops--falling into the trap of showing Iraqi's that Iran will attack Iraqis, Iraqi soil and Iraqi sovereignty if they step out of line. Those existential threats are rarely forgotten! Add these recent actions by Iran to the actions against Iran, such as all the economic tools being used against

This feels so close, but am I buying more dinar? Am I telling buddies to buy some? Hell NO! 😝 Gave some notes to my buddies a while back to share in the fun, then stopped talking about it, because they thought I had been conned and was Cat Bit Shrazy! Git 'er done!!!

A smugglers' TAX at a 50% or 33% rate! Hahahahaha. Why not, if you have the evidence of malfeasance, pay the host country a bounty of 25% for seizing and returning YOUR money? And, work on developing your diplomatic solutions to return the thieves, too!?

Didn't Iran try to steal as much as possible of Iraq's currency, already?
