All this math doesn't make sense and makes my head spin

 

How does this work......?

 

The US and many other countries literally THROW BILLIONS of their currencies to help Iraq rebuild and get their feet on the ground so to speak--and then Iraq turns around and throws it back in our bonds/investments??!!    Kinda like me giving you $100 dollars to help you out and you turn around and give it back to me and ask me to invest it for you. Ugh 

 

Looking at all this craziness and what their doing in the big picture--how much longer do you really think it will take for them to be flying solo and actually go back to using their own currency only?

I would like to know where Iraq got the whopping 21.7 billion USD to begin with.

 

A little math here.

 

21.7 billion USD x 1,190 IQD/USD = 25.8 trillion IQD

 

Where in the world did the 25.8 trillion IQD or 21.7 billion USD come from to begin with?

 

Recovered international illegally pilfered funds not previous advertised?

 

I suppose it could have originated from the CBI reserves but the numbers would have or will show this.

 

Somebody(ies) are showing faith and confidence in Iraq's ability to support the US debt instruments. But with what? The IQD?

 

With this money moving around in relation to Iraq, it would seem like a good thing. Time will tell.

 

In The Mean Time...........................................

 

Go Moola Nova (YEAH AND YEE HAW, BABY, READY WHEN YOU ARE BROTHER - LET 'ER BUCK!!!)!!!

Good Morning, BlueSkyLine, AND The Best Of Your Week To You!!! :tiphat:

 

Could it really be that Iraq can do whatever they want to do NOW as a Sovereign Nation with their affairs without any oversight from anybody(ies) else to INCLUDE whatever they want with their financial instruments???

 

What implications may this all have on the status of an internationally traded IQD???

21 billion in bonds treasuries notes , now if Iraq revaluation of dinar goes back to above 3.00 , wondering how fast u.s. treasuries would scramble to obtain the dinar , to have a foreign reserve as a good bumper from the huge bond sale that Iraq has taken in u.s. bonds ?

After re-reading Synopsis comments i believe he hit on something. We all know

the PTB in Iraq have been stealing the country broke for years and years. We also

know many secret deals are made to stay out of jail.  Nothing dis=honorable in their

country. Get caught just pay up.all is forgiven.  This is where the money has come from.

Retrieved money ( no questions asked ) no jail time.

That is a plausible scenario.... the heat against corruption has definitely been turned up as of late

This is good news...cause when the dollar collapses, u will see the dinars rise up. It is a way of getting rid of the dollars. Let us see what happens when the feds raise the interest rates overnight tomorrow(weds).

 

Geez!  Are we rooting for the dollar to collapse?

Do you live in this country?   :shrug:

Floridian, nope. It will bounce back up. I believe Trump once said that all currencies need to be on par. The dollar system needs to be fixed(reset)...in order for that to happen, it has to collapse. When it does, US will depend on gold standard...but dollar will get back up. The price of gold per troy ounce is at 1300 plus dollars i believe...while the price of a dollar is at 1190 dinars...1300 dollars for a troy ounce of gold n 1190 dinars for a dollar...if u look at the numbers(erase the dollars) are not to far off...if u get the pic

I hadn't realized you were an economist, Navira.  LOL

Can you imagine what it would do to our economy, and the economy of others, if the dollar collapsed?

First of all, we'd be taken over by China because we owe them tons of money.  We are $21 Trillion in debt, borrow money from China, and pay them plenty of interest.

I can't even imagine the rest of what would happen with the collapse of the dollar, but it wouldn't be pretty.
