climber7 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 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? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synopsis Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 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...........................................

navira Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 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 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navira Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Botzwana, they bought 21.7 billion dollars of bonds...the reason being is iraq wants to get rid of it cause iraq wants to use their own currency...aside from all that iraq sees dollar collapsing so they want to distance themselves from it, unpeg from it so to speak 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navira Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Floridian, that is exactly what is going to happen...it will not be pretty of course. The dollar will rebound back in no time...the dollar n dinar will be on par, well, the dinar will probably a little bit higher 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
