KMan: .‘Demands not met’: Anti-government protests resume in Iraq Hundreds of protesters gathered in Baghdad, southern provinces, demanding reforms and end to corruption......https://www.aljazeera.com/where/iraq/
Briona: Too much progress has been made in Iraq to blow it all up with riots. Even though everything they wanted done, has not met their timeline, I can see the demonstrations as being peaceful. Now if they can control Iranian backed militia and individuals there to stir up problems, things should go smoothly.
Lioness2: Family not because it hasn't happened yet means it won't happen. We are here! It is done! Watch what they DO not say!
RED: LOOKING VERY GOOD, PROGRESS IS IN THE MAKING!, this is like a fresh canteen of water being given to a person in the middle of the desert...
Hoodie: I am believing that someday Iraq and all the middle east will love their people as much as they hate us

Frank26 ...right now we're right at the cusp of bring fourth the new exchange rate for the Iraqi dinar. Right now we're beyond the cusp of introducing the pictures of the new small category notes to the citizens...anywhere from one to four weeks then you can say goodbye to me...
Austin-Powers-For-PM ...This RV will happen, but it's impossible to nail down a timeline. In 10+ years of this journey we've had people tell us that it "has" to happen before (pick your date) and that date comes and goes. We could very well be post election without an RV. I do believe this will happen either before 2020 is over or the 1st few days of 2021...Things are lining up, and they're in a position where they will have to make things happen, and rather soon. Do understand that there are forces that want this stopped dead in it's tracks (Iranian proxies, the corrupt in high places, global interests who benefit from the Status Quo) who will do anything to delay this until January 20th, 2021...Yes, the heat is on to complete this and complete it very soon.

Power4445: Question: what’s everyone’s opinion on what will happen to the plan to raise the rate if Biden wins? I don’t think he will, but what if? I think it was said here months ago that if he wins, this is toast. Since we now seem to be waiting another week to four weeks, I’m assuming the election will come and go without the rate change. imo Thoughts?
Safeone: In my humble opinion: We should not be worrying about American politics in this study. Yes, we have an important duty to vote on November 3. Yes, The Fab Four includes Trump. However, what is done is done. I think we need to stay focused on what is happening n Iraq. Iraq controls their own currency and they are the only ones who do. Influences abound, opinion abounds BUT they control.
Ross: IMO regardless of who wins the election the RI will happen as they say the die is cast. IMOO it would be better for us if the RI happens this year (better for me also Lol) cause if the democrats win and the RI happens next year you can expect to see a huge tax increase on your gains cause they will need a lot $$$ to pay for all the promised giveaways and programs. If you listen to or read their platform this is a no-brainer to figure out. Besides you will be considered the evil rich for which to tap with more taxes.
