    Last year, the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York began enforcing stricter controls on international transactions by Iraqi commercial banks, forcing them to comply with specific SWIFT global transfer system criteria to access their foreign reserves. The move was allegedly meant to “curtail money laundering and the illegal siphoning of dollars to Iran and other heavily sanctioned [West Asian] countries.” However, the sudden rules change for Iraqi banks sent the economy reeling as 80 percent, or more of Iraq’s daily US dollar wire transfers could no longer be completed.

    Turns out countries are wising up that having your assets at the whim of capricious imperialists is a losing proposition

    :thinky-felix: Excuse me, sir. My name is Tank Dilgoson. Am I to understand that my investment of Iraqi dinars is no longer a valid investment strategy? How am I expected to accumulate enough wealth to pay for a fusion of my two large nephews into the ultimate giant nephew?

      The US is not in a position to invade Iraq for a third time. If they do, they lose Ukraine to the Russians and Taiwan to the PLA, in very short order.

          Oh, I didn't say they'd invade. But one way or another, I expect it to be the PLAN moored at the island by mid-century.

      A whole hell of a lot. If the US doesn't put a stop to this I think we can officially say unipolarity is over.
