Monday Lunchtime Opinions @ 12:55 PM MST - 4/21/2025

[ronscarpa]

REMEMBER, no one really  knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take  everything with a grain of salt ...  RON 

 

 

4-21-2025  Samson  Article: "Trump administration: We have made very good progress in nuclear negotiations with Iran"

 

4-21-2025  Militia Man  Article Quote: 'Investing in strategic minerals such as thorium could generate returns comparable to oil as thorium is cleaner and more important alternative than uranium.  Linking the value of the national currency to invest in the minerals depends on Iraq’s ability to enter valued added chains which contribute to raising the gross domestic product…This boom in mineral investment will positively impact fiscal and monetary policy by enhancing monetary stability.'  That’s what they want, monetary stability…It’s kind of a long article but it’s fascinating.  Linking the value of the national currency to investment based off their natural resources I think is quite simple to understand … The expectation is Iraq will have a real effective exchange rate and open up and integrate into the International financial system.

 

4-21-2025  Frank26   I believe it's implemented.  I believe they're using the new exchange rate.  I can't prove it to you...but based on what I read...At 1310, 2 + 2 = is not 7. 2 + 2 is 4.  These articles, this is logical.  This is the truth.  They're telling you what they're doing, what they're going to do.  They're telling you how they're protecting the new exchange rate from parliament.   

 

4-21-2025  Mnt Goat  Article: "SALEH: THINGS BETWEEN BAGHDAD AND ERBIL ARE MOVING TOWARD A BREAKTHROUGH, AND EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT A SOLUTION." Quote: “The situation is heading toward a thaw, in light of the ongoing meetings and discussions between the federal government and the regional government, in the presence of the federal prime minister, his counterpart in the region, and the oil minister,” Could they finally get the Oil and Gas Law passed?

 

4-21-2025  MarkZ  This is another one we were told is big news: Article: “Parliamentary Security:  Restructuring of controls has hit its final stage”  they are removing some checkpoints at borders…and adding others. They have to control their borders. Especially their financial borders. Controlling the borders is important before releasing the RV.

On the subject of Iran Talks, More talks!!! I hope Trump realizes that Iran is just stalling so they can hide their nuclear stuff. just like Sadam Husien did.  I don't believe for one minute that Iran will comply.  They are liars and hypocrites that hate America and our people and have repeatedly said "Death to America and Americans."  GOD help us.

I don't believe saddam had weapon of mass destruction. That was the excuse of george bush and Tony Blair. The Iraq war was about getting their paws on the oil and controlling it. That is not to say Iran doesn't have any

You are right Bettyboop.  I had forgotten about Bush and Blair's excuse.  I do think that Saddam would have destroyed Iran if Bush hadn't interfered.  Maybe, I'm wrong.  Who knows.

Exactly.  Also, Saddam Hussain threatened to sell oil in Euros and was told to stop.  Look what happened to him.  D. Cheney wanted his company to service oil fields and what a better way to facilitate that other to have a foothold in Iraq.  So many reasons but sad that so many people especially our military personnel died in the process.

Been going on since FDR. Including LSM hiding the truth about non-presidential activities.
