  • Vladimir Putin wants BRICS to use his own play money instead of the dol

    From MummyChunk@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 26 16:35:15 2024
    Putin showed for the first time a banknote of the single BRICS
    currency, which he fantasizes that could become an alternative to the
    dollar.

    Saddam made two strategic 'mistakes' to invite US wrath

    The first mistake Saddam made was when he decided in October 2000 to
    move away from using US dollars as the currency for oil exports, such
    as were allowed under the UN 'oil-for-food' programme, writes former
    Indian Ambassador to Iraq Ranjit Singh Kalha.

    Saddam also converted Iraq's USD 10 billion reserve fund from US
    dollars to Euros.

    ....

    Saddam's second strategic mistake was when he decided to start giving
    oil contracts to non-US oil companies.

    Oh, US companies are in Russia finding/pumping oil...US Congress could
    put a stop to that.
