DELTA: FAMILY I DID READ THE DOCUMENTS IN ARABIC ...ALAQ WILL STAY AND WILL HAVE THE FULL POWER OF CBI... BUT ONLY UNTIL 07/15/20..........LIKE I SAID ON THE PAST CC.........THEY NEED HIM UNTIL RI IS DONE.....SO IMO.......RI SHOULD TAKE PLACE IN BETWEEN ........AMAZING......GAME OVER...
MilitiaMan: I hope everyone understands that Iran is always going to be a trading partner with Iraq. The international level they speak of is imo with the likes of the USA, WB, IMF, UST, UK, EU, etc..
They have an agreement done and they agreed on the mechanism to facilitate it.. They have started the work on the platform yesterday.. The meetings apparently were necessary to have and to be successful. From the looks of it they were successful and had to be done to get where we are going. This imo is flat out huge for us all!
Let that bit sink in. Alak has been involved the whole time. The PM has had meetings with him and here we see his tenure is through 07/15/2020.. He will be the one that gets credit for the Monetary Reform of a Re In-statement of the IQD. imo That high level delegation was or is in conjunction with the aforementioned international entities...
They all know the mechanism now too. They had to agree on it.. What is a mechanism you might ask? Here is an example of one.. So, the meetings last week and the follow up this week is powerful and should have everyone smiling.. imo ~ MM
JJimmyJJ: I know that Iran doesn't like Iraq throwing off their dependance on Iran, but having Iraq go international can be a huge advantage for Iran.
Since Iran is an international pariah, having Iraq next door with no import/ export sanctions and an internationally- traded currency gives Iran access to goods and hard currency they couldn't access otherwise.
Getting out of the way and allowing Iraq to RI allows Iran to steal in new and exciting ways. And, from the US side, I'd imagine giving up some organized crime is preferable to having Iran run Iraq as a vassal state.
It isn't perfect, but it allows all sides to get some of they want... and Iraq can always arrest the Iranian crooks later. …….My 2 cents.

MilitiaMan: Iraq is on the fast track! They have done what they have needed to do lately in regard to many files. The new PM and his Deputy the FM have everyone's attention now.
The meetings over the last couple weeks and days, have apparently been on target. They have the attention of the USA directly, and who if you'll notice speak of mechanisms; along with payments, agreements, transparency (trust), all related to fixing a crisis and quickly I might add.
When high delegations meet they have an agenda. In this case it is to help Iraq with their new beginning in coming out into a market economy..
Notice that in the event of external intervention things can be affected.. Well when and if the USA intervenes, things can get affected.. lol imo..
Also not that they have an automated financial agreement and the platform started yesterday from the writing above. So whereby they have the mechanisms to facilitate the opening and all within this month, imo..
The focus is on the financial crisis and energy.. Don't think for a moment that there is massive deals gearing the start a new..
With the USA having influence the investors will come and help, just as the neighbors are too. Even Iran is and was at the table too.. Apparently that went very well too.
Exciting times.. imo Lets see what the CBI has to say or even Allawi... imo ~ MM
