Germany's foreign minister Heiko Maas urged Europe to rethink its partnership with the U.S. in an op-ed in German newspaper Handelsblatt, calling for the establishment of independent payment channels in response to the Trump administration's unilateral withdrawal from the Iran deal.

The big picture: Later this year, the U.S. is expected to cut Iran off from SWIFT, an essential financial network that connects more than 11,000 banks around the world and allows countries to facilitate payments abroad. Maas' call to circumvent the system in order to preserve the Iran deal signals growing tensions in the alliance, recently aggravated by the Trump administration's rejection of a joint European request to be exempted from sanctions.

John Kerry warned that walking away from the Iran nuclear deal would be the end of the US dollar as the world reserve currency.

Hastening the movement of countries trading in mutual currencies/gold... maybe even blockchain

Kerry should have been the 2016 nominee. He was lightyears ahead of Hillary as SoS

[Secure Da Bag]

So will the US also lead from behind with a coalition of the willing and invade Germany and take down its murderous leader?

Countries are starting to flex because they have no respect for America with Donald. America looking like a joke outchea to the world. America will never be the same after this since they opened the gates to allow a goofy to run the country.

The world has got way too comfortable with all this peace we provide.


And @ the idea of this.

I'm guessing it will involve the Interledger Protocol and some sort of digital asset like XRP for settlement of international payments in 3 seconds instead of days. SWIFT's ancient technology where it takes days for money to actually be moved will not last forever.
