MilitiaMan:  The trucking increasing almost 42 times the volume in a short period of time looks to be telling a story of Iraq being at  international trade levels. That is a major increase in trucking, likes of that I have not seen before.

Then there is the International Conference starting in February 2022. Iraq is hosting the UN officials and international organizations with respect to the Ministry of Agriculture.. They have been absent for 54 years.

That too is very telling and supporting there is an international ascension going on. I would suspect the WTO, AYSCUDA and AMF may be some of the International Organizations that may be involved..  They’ll need the tax revenues.

 I’ll bet the borders will be ready to clear all that oil for a REER (Real Effective Exchange Rates) at some point now.. imo They mention the trucking went from 60 -1500 trucks and then increase in the coming days to 2500..

That is a lot of daily oil movement and a lot of money.. Exciting times ahead… Full steam too.. lol imo ~ MM

MilitiaMan:  There is a lot of fast moving parts to the CBDCs (Central Banks Digital Currencies) becoming a reality. The links above are informative. The BUNA platform is a digital platform that will clear digital currencies. Jordan and Iraq will be just a couple of them..

The UST has told us they intend and have on board 136 countries that will be digitizing taxation.

The borders will be automated or are now. Just think about the increase from 60 trucks of oil going across the border increased to 1500 a day and in the coming days up to 2500 trucks will cross each day. That will need electronic clearing and for the increase from 60 – 1500 says to me they are automated now.. Ready to go.

Fascinating time to tell us that Jordan.. What terms, mechanism and or price is the oil deal to need that amount of increase in trucking, 42x?

This is a big deal.. imo ~ MM
