STATUS OF THE RV , PART. 3
😊The very recent article I am referring to is titled “FROM ARMS TO PROSPERITY: A EUROPEAN REPORT INDICATES THAT IRAQ IS BECOMING A TOURIST DESTINATION.”
The Swiss newspaper “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” (NZZ) published a report on Wednesday on the improvement of tourism in Iraq, confirming that the country has regained its health and transformed into a center of prosperity after being rife with chaos and scenes of violence and weapons.
I quote from a piece from the article – “Iraq has put its modern history behind it and is beginning to welcome tourists after it was once seen as hell on earth,”
the newspaper reported, translated by Shafaq News Agency. “But the country has regained stability, and the government is working hard to attract visitors,” it said. “Cities like Baghdad and Basra are witnessing remarkable changes, including the renovation of streets and historical sites.
Religious sites, especially the shrines in Karbala, attract millions of pilgrims, and the government is seeking to capitalize on their economic and tourism value .” You can read the full article in the Articles Section. I wish you would.
Many of us need to get a different perspective of Iraq and what is really going on today. Many of us still have this stench of war on our minds of burnt-out caravans of cars and trucks on the roads. Although Iraq has not yet gone fully global, they are a far cray from the 2003 war situation.
Folks, it has been 20 years already and they have come a long way. This is why I emphasis what they have accomplished in the just the last 2 years is a topper to it all and the final phase now that they are out of Chapter VII sanctions.
Remember that you don’t come out of sanctions that lasted for over 30 years (1991-2022), then just pop right back, it takes time. And worst yet to “pop back” there were strict guidelines given to them to accomplish. This also hindered their growth rate.
We know that these are they structured a plan using the Pillars of Financial Reform. The world changed so much in 30 years. The world of banking is now modernized, and Iraq had to make these changes to compete globally going forward.
So, I really hate when someone asks me what the hold is for the RV. This tells me their ignorance and lack of understanding of the Iraq situation.
This boggles my mind to ask such a question with all the information I am providing. Could they have progressed much faster? Sure, they could have, and could have. We were told way back in 2014 that trillions of dollars (not billions) had been stolen that could have rebuilt the entire country a couple times over.
They also have had a couple bad prime ministers and they certainly did not help to move the progress along either. I hate to use the term “shit happens” but it does. It’s unfortunate that we as investors feel we have been “shitted” upon since we know all the wasted money funneled to Iran and how it all could have been stopped decades ago, if only the U.S. back then put their foot down and stopped it.
So today is Holy Thursday. Why not take this holy season to pray and move forward on our thoughts about this coming gift from God.
