any truth to this???
Its very clear that the United States is now attempting to overthrow the government in Iraq which it helped set up. The reason for this is because Iraq has moved away from the American dominance and has started making oil agreements with Iran and Russia, as well as China.
Considering that Saddam’s great sin back in 2002 was trading oil in euro’s and not in dollars, which was soon followed by the invasion and occupation the following year, the events of the last few months have forced the United States dollar interests to once again over throw the Iraq government.
This time they are using the same militant groups which they are using in Syria and elsewhere. The same playbook which only seems different because we assume that the Iraq government is still in bed with the US. That is not so, as the following news reports confirm:
Russia’s Lukoil opens giant Iraq oil field, adding to crude glut
Iraq looks East in foreign policy
Syria attraction: Russia moving into Eastern Mediterranean oil bonanza
These stories are only scratching the surface of what is happening on the world’s geopolitical stage right now.
With Russia and China aggressively moving away from the dollar and Iraq joining up with the BRICS group, its only a matter of time before Iraq’s oil is priced in rubles, yuan, or euros again.
Why else would Iran be coming to the aid of the Iraq government.

The desperation for American dollar interests are kicking into high gear. Without Iraqi oil and Ukrainian natural gas, it’s hard to imagine a world where the US is anything but what Britain was for the second half of the 20th Century.
The dollar is attempting to retain control in the multilateral system and I just don’t see that happening. Negotiations continue in all regions once dominated by the US dollar, from Iraq to Vietnam, and Ukraine to Panama.
This year continues to meet the predicted expectations laid down for it back in January. – JC
