There has been some onerous news of late regarding the Strategic Framework Agreement with The United States Of America so we see EVEN MORE news about The United States Of America bases being built in Iraqi where SOME Bicraqi Iraqi are ALL UPSET about THAT AND are pushing to completely get rid of the Strategic Framework Agreement AND The United States Of America Troops ( ) from Iraq. Yeah, Right. Like THAT will EVER Happen!!! The news here appears to be like a post Strategic Framework Agreement with The United States Of America implementation or about to be implemented. Another SMOKIN' ( ) statement from the SAME article: So WHY "TODAY"???!!! WHY "17%"???!!! Isn't THAT EXACTLY the Turdistan (er, excuse me, Kurdistan) Region percent of the 2019 Bicraqi Iraqi Budget DEMAND???!!! Maybe, BABY, Article 140 and some OTHER Goodies reached the "Finish Line" AND we patiently await the Good News???!!! Wasn't Luabi, the former Oil Cabinet member and NOW head of the National Oil Company, recently saying, "Dudes, GET THE NOC ACT GOING!!!"???!!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm................................................................... AND, NOW, by the way, the Bicraqi Iraqi Parliament decides to delay like a week the nomination and confirmation of the remaining cabinet members. Wuz up with THAT???!!! Maybe a few more gears to get lined up reasonably well before the WHOLE THING gets kicked in HIGH GEAR???!!! Further (I know, I know), aren't there FABLED Bicraqi Iraqi Oil Credits The United States Of America is ACTUALLY entitled to to get Bicraqi Iraqi Crude Oil at $32/barrel???!!! The Bicraqi Iraqi 2019 Budget was basis $56/barrel. Let's say Bicraqi Iraqi crude oil at an entire country production rate of 4.5 million barrels per day: $32/barrel x 17% x 4.5 million barrels/day = 24.48 million USD/day or 8.93520 billion USD/year $56/barrel x 17% x 4.5 million barrels/day = 42.84 million USD/day or 15.56366 billion USD/year In THIS, albeit FABLED, scenario, the Bicraqi Iraqi crude oil is obtained at 4/7ths or 57.1% of the Bicraqi Iraqi budget price or, nominally, OR 18.36 million USD/day or 6.7014 billion USD/year. Isn't the Bicraqi Iraqi AND Insanian trade about 6.7014 billion USD/year???!!! The Bicraqi iraqi Gubmint Officials AND the Turdistan (er, excuse me, Kurdistan) Region along with the Insanians HAVE BEEN running off with a WHOLE LOT more than 18.36 million USD/day or 6.7014 billion USD/year so MAYBE, BABY, these "Dudes" have either been summarily REMOVED AND/OR summarily "Neutralized"???!!! Seems like the (FABLED) $32/barrel Bicraqi Iraqi Crude Oil Credit is a WHOLE LOT BETTER "DEAL" than BEFORE!!! Well, OK, just my rantings, ravings, conjecture, wild speculation, thoughts, opinion, and with a few calculations thrown in (for "Entertainment Purposes" ONLY) for whatever THAT is worth!!!
