Thread: What does Iraq, Libya and Iran have in common?

  1. Default What does Iraq, Libya and Iran have in common?

    I believe in this 100%, the worrying thing is will they let Iran trade in anything other than $US dollars, or is there another war looming.

    The way I understand what happened, Iraq's Saddam Hussein was getting ready to trade oil in a currency other than the dollar.

    Libya's Muammar Qaddafi proposed selling oil in gold dinars.

    Now on March 20th, reports claim Iran will start selling oil in currencies other than the dollar.

    Do you think these events are coincidence or is this what the U.S. does when the dollar is threatened as a reserve currency. Anyway, there may be more than one reason why we are putting so much pressure on them.

    Here is an article that refers to the March 20th date:

    When I studied International Relations in college, we were taught
    that economic sanctions could be on par with, “Rockets and bombs,” as
    one professor put it, and potentially much worse. Questions about
    economic sanctions amounting to collective punishment and other
    violations of International Law are ignored by the perpetrators. These
    types of policies resulted in a holocaust in Iraq.


    The only conclusion that I can draw from the news below is that the
    decision has already been made to militarily engage Iran and this is an
    attempt to cause Iran to lash out first. In the event that Iran doesn’t
    strike first, a false flag incident could be fabricated easily
    .

    Watch this space. However, the last thing the USA (or most of the developed world for that matter) can afford, is a potentially internationally volatile, and hugely expensive war.
