Threatening Petroeuro?

Oliver said:
No, no. Flo and Pardalis are cute. My only concern is to find out who's the cuter one. :) :D

I am relatively sure that they both dislike you. There's nothing cute about it, and they're not teasing you, they simply don't like you.
 
Oliver said:
Jesus. Because I don't know the answer for "How big would the impact be?". :boggled:
We're running in circles and you didn't provide one scintilla of meaningful, on-topic information so far. Are you the Board Troll? :D

Even with a smiley you have no footing for referring to anyone else as a troll.

It's called humor. :rolleyes:

Oliver, a smiley alone doesn't make something funny. The vast majority of posters here have let you known repeatedly that many of your posts are insulting and stubbornly ignorant. You behave just like a small child that makes fun of something it doesn't understand. It isn't funny to people who actually care about the topics you bring up.

And who should that be? Sorry, but I usually get a [rule8]-load of derails first before someone actually addresses my questions.

Since your link in the OP is a Google search for "petroeuro + saddam" have you considered doing one for "petroeuro + US economy"?

Sorry, I didn't tried this search. But thank you for this tip. :)

ETA: Looks like this is a typical Conspiracy-Theory issue - but I try to get some valid information nevertheless...

According to this guy, the economic impact of the so called Petroeuro is indeed critical. Maybe this was indeed a reason for the invasion, I honestly don't know but it would make more sense than every other official reason I heard so far.

Maybe this is a threat for America. I'm simply not that familiar with markets and how they work or what impact they have inasmuch that they might pose threats.

So is there anyone in this Subforum who understands this issue and when a drop in the US Dollar-Value poses a threat for the nation?
 
Oliver said:
There is a rumor that the Invasion of Iraq had something to do with Saddam's plans to switch to the Petroeuro which allegedly would have threatened the US economy.

Now I'm not very familiar with the Petrodollar/Petroeuro system - what would have been/would be the damage for the US economy if Saudi Arabia, Iraq or Iran would have switched/will switch to the Petroeuro? :confused:

And would this pose a more dangerous threat for America if Iran would switch to the Euro than Iran having a nuclear bomb? :confused:

Are you glad saddam hussein is gone?

How many links did you look at during your search Oliver? Why did you just post the most extreme opinion here?

This is what that link said:
It's here.

And it may do more damage to the American economy than peak oil could ever dream to throw at us.

I urge you to prepare.

OPEC and major non-OPEC producers are dumping their dollar-denominated deposits while quietly increase their euro- and yen-denominated deposits.

A complete shift away from petrodollar may pull the entire American economy to a grinding halt and may even ignite mass chaos on an unimaginable scale.

The US economy will pull to a grinding halt and mass chaos will occur? So why are all the non-oil-linked-currency countries doing okay if not being linked causes such an apocolypse?

Mayhaps a few more links to get a set of opinions would be more productive to answering your question, I suggest you keep researching Oliver.

What is rule6? Is it a new one for you giving an opinion about anything? Harsh, but understandable.

I'm indeed still researching. But it might have been another mistake to hope that people in here might be familiar with the topic I posted [economics and it's relation to the dollar-value [=Switch to Petroeuro]].

Maybe it would have some effect on the American econonmy, but to state that it was the reason for the invasion is a bit far fetched. Iraq is not even in the top 10 list of oil nations and they alone would have relatively little impact on the US. Maybe if all the OPEC members did it. To be perfectly honest, the war itself has had a far worse impact.

It's interesting that in your original post you only included a few OPEC countries as being a threat if they switched to the Euro. Two of the three biggest oil countries (Russia and Norway) are not OPEC. Why didn't you include them? Because they are western countries?

It's always the same -- you take topics that could be interesting if they were broader and phrase and restrict them in such a way that they end up being nothing other than anti-American orgies. Despite what you seem to think, the US does in the majority of cases solve things diplomatically.

I never stated that this might be true. But since I'm not familiar with "Inflation-Threats", I honestly don't know if such allegations might be true.

So let me ask: Are you familiar enough with this issue to say it is absurd? Or are you just unable to imagine it?
