About 90% of Iraq’s economy is petroleum…Vietnam on the other hand has Samsung, Apple suppliers, Intel and a bunch of exports that the whole world is buying.

5-8-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] So here’s a piece that we got from two of our sources in Iraq…the new prime minister for Iraq, who has been already appointed, will be officially seated Sunday or possibly Monday …. Sunday is Iraq’s first business day of the week, so I would look for him to be seated and announced…on Sunday. The theory is we need for that to happen before we go into exchanges.
