U.S. Warns Iraq It Risks Losing Access to Key Bank Account if Troops Told to Leave

[dBSPL]

Why the hell would one country put their money in a foreign bank? I understand for trading purposes but this is becoming stupid as hell. US/West of all shouldn’t be trusted to this extent one policy deviation and you end up on the street.

Have Muslims all gone dumb **** collectively?

It has a old story that dates back to the Cold War years. Even Germany and most of EU countries' considerable gold reserves were in the UK/USA banks. This situation has changed in recent years.

Of course, Iraq has a much more sad story since it was invaded. Not only was it looted, but most of the proceeds were brought in control.

Once i read (dont remember where):

The only real currency of a country is the capacity for work and the capacity for R&D and the capacity to construct of its people.

(maybe my translation is bad but i hope you get the meaning of it)

You and everyone unaware of the ongoings of international trade transactions, ought to go read the now defunct Bretten Woods Agreement. It will give you an idea how those Zionist-Swines control the global economy and that of the United States.

We had a leader that was spitting on the USA (Saddam), in return everyone including Pakistan, Turkey all sided with big America. Don't act like you're that independent from the US. China is no different, they will use their power. Russia is no different, infact Russia betrays when they feel like it. No one is going do to favors.

Do you see any of us here praise Uncle Sam!!
We all know they betrayed us many times. We despise the crooks Pakistani leaders who had any dealings with the them.
If anything take heed and learn lessons from use of Pakistan by the USA. We were instrumental in the disintegration of USSR. We have dealt same hammer blow to the USA in Afghanistan. The only difference is that USA is economically more stable and strong than what USSR was, otherwise the story would have been the same.

The best way for Iraqis to be free of USA is to kill them one by one and forced them to leave ... USA invade Iraq by force and some Iraqis think they will leave Iraq by asking nicely :" Please leave our country " ...

 

[Naram_Sin]

One word... extortion.

You dumb Saddam invaded Kuwait, he provided the first opportunity to US to station significant number of forces and forced other countries to side with GCC.

Some say America brought democracy in Iraq but when Iraqis use democracy to ask America to leave Iraq America objects but in reality this parliament is not speaking in the name of Iraqis but they speak for Iran also this government is infiltrated by Iran and its caretaker government so everything they will do will be illegitimate.

Not my fault

The US will not be kicked out of Iraq because the Iraqi leadership doesn't have the capability.

The US will stay and if they were to pull out it would be on their terms.

So US becomes a true occupying power overnight? ok

The Muslim nations are exactly dumb. That is the only conclusion one can draw here. We have no shortage of dumb corrupt imbecile leaders in Islamic world.

Also, Iraq's current setup is precisely due to the US. When the US invaded Iraq, and installed a new government, they made sure to (and I would do the same thing) keep Iraq under their thumb, in case Iraq rebels.

I find it also funny that this "puppet" Iraqi government installed by the USA itself in Iraq after the demise of Saddam Hussain regime in early 2000s is now demanding their US masters to vacate their "country", this Iraqi puppet government is indeed very daring for asking the Americans who gathered all these traitors of Iraq to establish a puppet government just to show the world that US has brought "democracy" to Iraq after ousting Saddam's regime.
This "puppet" Iraqi government's whole existence and "legitimacy" stands on American shoulders since its inception.

Thanks for exposing yourself, I was already thinking that you are a non-Pakistani guy pretending to be a Pakistani on this forum.

I'm a Pakistani through and through and I'm a Muslim. My criticism shouldn't be taken as being anti-Pakistani or anything but a reality check for our people and other brothers for making stupid decisions -- you can read my past posts and all, and no where have I shown anti-Pakistani tendency and what I said doesn't show any anti-Pakistani tendencies as well. Thank you!

Also, I've already spoken with @HttpError and already apologized to him for being harsh -- but you take the Muslim comment and attack my nationality? How the hell that even correlates with each other? And most of all I wasn't in any way criticizing the religion that I also follow but leaders of our Ummah for being giftedly stupid -- as a Muslim/Pakistani I have that much right.

I have a degree in business and run a business myself so don’t need a boy telling me what to know and not to know, unless you can afford the subscription to read the entire article. My point is NOT why have money in the US. But limit how much funds you hold in 3rd party countries and keep the bulk in yours so you don’t get black mailed like this.

If all your oil revenue money is going into that bank account and you lose access that’s not the smartest move you can make. I’m sure KSA and other more reliable countries where one would have social and cultural links would offer better access to ones funds when needed.

In the current set up Iraqis would lose any sort of political autonomy they have and be blackmailed like they currently are.

The USA is a sole superpower because it controls world economy. Look at what it did to JCPOA agreement where when USA walked out, all the other 5 nations were rendered impotent in keeping the deal.

You thought USA invaded Iraq out of charity? This is 21st century imperialism with a lot more sound and thunder than British imperialism. USA is occupying Iraq and other countries through finances, economy or naked aggression as in case of Syria and Iraq.

But this is coming to an end, slowly.

You definitely need a lesson in world politics and economy.
