This is our “ally” right?
Amazing how blind we are to the true agenda of the Islamic world.
“This is our “ally” right?”
yeah. The US government is screwing our allies by making the currency they have long used for trade an instrument viewed as unreliable. The same us government is screwing us citizens as well, but we cannot just switch currencies.
I don’t blame them. The dollar will be worthless very soon.
The Cold War is over and now Turkey has to align itself in the war of Islam vs. the West. Turkey is 99.9% Islamic, so which decision they'll finally make is not really debatable.
However, there is a movement afoot throughout the world to dump the dollar, and it's not politics, but economics. There may come a time when toilet paper is worth more than the U.S. dollar, so what choice do these nations have?
In my opinion, the collapse of the dollar, which is not yet certain, will force financial discipline, through tremendous hardship and pain, which this nation currently lacks. Individuals cannot spend more than they make forever, and neither can nations, but it takes a crisis to force that kind of change. We now here the rumblings, in stories like this, of an earthquake that will shake our nation to its roots. We will survive, but in what position in the world? That's what I'd like to know.
