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:

Uhm, there actually is a Petrodollar and a Petroeuro. It's not a theory at all. The question is what economically impact would it have for the US if China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq would switch to the PetroEuro.

This clearly is a political question.

Well when this rumor is backed up with some evidence, let me know. Until then it's not true no matter what smiley face you use.

There is evidence that the Petro-Euro and Petro-Dollar are real and that they indeed have influence concerning the Economy. That's no rumor at all. The Rumor was: "It had something to do with the invasion".

Anyway: My question wasn't about the Rumor, it was about how much impact would it have if the Saudis, Iranians, Iraqis would switch from PetroDollars to PetroEuros.

But I fully understand that you don't know the answer either.

Well then reading that evidence should answer all the question you could have. Which makes me wonder why you started this thread if you are sitting on all the information.

Why did you start the "Health Care a Right?"-Thread if you simply could study all the Health Care Systems all around the world for the rest of your life instead simply asking in here? :boggled:

"And unless you provide evidence that health care exists, I refuse to talk with you about it." :rolleyes:

I tell you what, you answer my question first and then I will answer about why I asked a question 3 years ago.

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

Considering Iran has switched it's major deals to Euro already, you tell me.

I'm not the one brining up 3 year old topics which have nothing to do with ones own thread.

I brought it up to make an example - and no, I have no Idea what impact it had that Iran switched to the Petro-Euro, which, by the way, I didn't know that they did so already.

So what impact did Iran's decision have to the American Economy?
