Google "petrodollar" and it will explain why we are so involved in the Middle East. Part of the deal with the Saudis, and the other oil exporting countries (OPEC) is that we would protect their oilfields with our military and furnish them weapons if they would only deal in US dollars and also buy our debt. Iran broke the agreement and began dealing in Euro dollars and also invaded Kewait--to keep the petrodollar system in place it was imperative that we get Iran back on track, so H.W Bush sent in Storman Norman. It really is more complicated than it appears since our economy is being supported by non-oil producing countries like Japan demanding our dollar so they can buy oil. If there is a demand for our dollar, we just print what they need since it's not backed by anything, and sell the bonds (debt) to OPEC. I need to echo Poppy, why doesn't anyone seem to care or realize that we can't let people sue Saudia Arabia because it would really hurt our economy if they stopped honoring our bonds and called in our debt.
Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. George H W Bush & Stormin' Norman invaded Iraq in 1991. Iraq switched to the Euro in 2000. Iran switched to the Euro in 2016. Maybe, you should go back to Google and do a wee bit more research on this topic...
My mistake Takao, I ment Iraq instead of Iran. It was Saddam Hussein who tried to break the OPEC agreement and accept Euros instead of US Dollars.
You are also off in personalities & time line...Kuwait, George H W Bush & Stormin Norman were 1990-91, but that was almost a decade before Saddam switched to the Euro. So, your whole claim is pretty much broken.
OPEC and China are now discussing dropping the Petrodollar for the Russian currency. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/petrodollar-us-saudi-policy_b_6245914.html Hmmmm.... Could spell trouble to a dollar monopoly.
The article is over a year old. As of February, 2016, Russia began taking Chinese payments for petroleum products in Yuan/Renminbi.
What is it that you don't understand? How the US benefits from the world trading in dollars? What numbers would you like to see? http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/tag/petrodollar Ah, those pesky sanctions.... No more.
Still early MrT...Looked obvious that KSA had its' finger in the pie. Now it is confirmed. Release the Kraken. Was a little surprised (if ive read it right), the US had no real Terror plan or dedicated team - prior to 911-that would keep tabs on extremists.
Fake news, brought to you by those bribed by ksa...Hmmm, who benefited from a ksa relationship- evil, lying hillary and her voodoo rapist husband bill. Why didn't my friend Takao bring up this important development regarding a US judge (democrat) trying to finger Iran for 911 MintPress News, teleSur, March 11, 2016 US judge orders Iran To Pay 10 Billion Fine... https://www.mintpressnews.com/u-s-judge-orders-iran-pay-10-billion-fine-didnt-prove-wasnt-behind-911-attacks/214672/ Iran Says US Court Order On 911 Compensation 'Ridiculous' The Times Of Israel, March 14, 2016- AFP http://www.timesofisrael.com/iran-says-us-court-order-on-911-compensation-ridiculous/ ksa trying to escape the chickens coming home to roost. Let's see what happens after Jan 20, when god emperor takes the reins. Other countries will realize, they can take their future back.
Poppy, I did not realize hard drugs were now legal in Canada. I didn't mention it, because it has absolutely zero to do with proving anything about 9/11...It is not "Fake News" nor "False News"...It is the Government of Iran making a very poor decision, given recent changes in American Law. Did you even read the articles you cite? I don't think so... For if you had, you would know that this was a Default Judgement...Basically, the representatives of the Iranian Government never showed up to court to defend themselves - Which they freely admit in the first article
Why bother...This ruling just adds to the $53 billion that Iran still owes US citizens from previous court judgements...It is not as if these people will see dime one.
i'm poor, like you allege to be. Can't afford the cocaine lefties love. 90% of hollywood is powered by it, thus explaining why their opinions/lifestyles/'art' are so twisted. i prefer catnip, which explains my moody disposition.
ah, computers and their long memory. it's coming, t. and it will be delicious. starting now. worry about whose side you are on. FBI Finally Agrees To Name Saudi Official Who Helped 9/11 Attackers
still, very odd about the airdrop of shit tonnes of cash on pallets delivered by barry soetoro. and , you know, uranium 1 looks very corrupt in retrospect. lets see if any Iranian uranium has fingerprints to U 1. U1 would leave unique markers. the info is out there. the future looks bright, thanks to Trump. lol.
you got me. no idea wtf ur talking aboot. but prepared to investigate, as much as this computerphobic could. I echoed q's bits about hunter Biden a few months ago. now it is news. a schmuck like me was able to see the future- or parrot what I read ? thanq. qmap
