HISTÓRICO dia 20: Irã sangra o poder dos EUA. Atinge o dólar, parasita global dos povos.
On March 20th, it not only celebrates the beginning of a new year but also the end of the dollar as an acceptable currency for payment of its oil. Essentially, Iran will no longer accept the U.S. dollar as payment for oil, and instead, will be looking for other currencies and commodities. It's the commercialization of petroleum and other byproducts in various currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the euro, Iranian rial and a basket of other major (non-U.S.) currencies. The urge to “de-dollarize,” or to withdraw from U.S. Treasury bills and the dollar, is a direct result of foreign countries' mistrust in the U.S. government's ability to control its massive budget deficits. Foreign countries are realizing that oftentimes dollarization makes them vulnerable to changes in U.S. currency policy, especially in a currency crisis. Iran's de-dollarization intentions aside, many of the emerging economies are also considering de-dollarization. Lately, de-dollarization seems to be picking up momentum. India has expanded on this theme by proposing the setup of a multilateral non-dollarized bank that would be funded exclusively by emerging nations to include the BRIC countries, and South Africa, for the purpose of financing projects in those countries. My sincere hope is that March 20th won't be an excuse for yet another war in the Middle East, propelled by the U.S., or by proxy through Israel, which would somehow end up inflaming tensions in the region, and at best, be a lose-lose situation for the entire world. Notwithstanding the fact that China and Russia, both formidable powers, have warned against any attack on Iran, mainly due to the massive investments both countries have in that country.
