KDuesing Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 I used to think these trips around the world was boring news but not this time, ill translate this into good old redneck for you guys. So Iraq is in shambles, the power lines are in shambles they haven't built power company's yet the roads and buildings are torn up to put it lightly so its easy to see they need a total rebuild. So this Kazemi guy head out and purchases a new power grid from Germany and some transportation from France and who know what else, he puts down some down payments and signs a few contracts heads back home and rv's the currency at that point making the payments are easy because they get much more for a dinar then before and the countries holding the contracts enjoy huge profits from the money they received as down payments. I expect we will hear of a few more purchases before he heads home or at least before they rv. 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
