Yada: Kazimi was the best thing that happen for the Iraqi people. He got things aligned as they should be so the next goverment cant stray from the set up short of the rest of the world coming to their borders. They are internationally connected.
Yada: Based on Tony’s statements since Oct 2021, having the president in place is considered a formed government, I’m expecting it any moment now
Yada: Once the currency is Reissued, the world now has some flexibility….Remember the 87 billion in reserves? Thats foreign money reserves. The dinar increases, the countries holding dinar get a boast in their dinar reserve accounts and that cause the foreign reserves in Iraq to go up for them.
KaseyKo1: Do you think France will try to reenter their agreement with Iraq with the Total contract they lost?
Yada: LOL,,,France is like us exchanges, of course we will run to the banks for the perks of greater exchanges and higher interest investment, especially with the prime so high, the banks will drool over our deposits and pay us well to keep them there. So France will do the same thing,,,,go in and take advantage of the oil they pump that will go to the world as well as Europe and France.
