How about any country that conducts its trade in U.S. dollars -- including its dealings with trading partners other than the U.S.?

You don't think anyone conducts trade with Iraq in dinars, do you?

I notice you didn’t name any colonies.

“How about any country that conducts its trade in U.S. dollars — including its dealings with trading partners other than the U.S.?”

So that makes a nation a colony? So if someone does trade in bitcoin that means he’s a colony of the internet? If I do business with a MasterCard does that mean I am a colony of Bank of America? Seriously, what you’re saying makes no sense.

“You don’t think anyone conducts trade with Iraq in dinars, do you?”

Yes, I do, everyday. Banks, individuals, corporations, airlines, currency exchanges, etc.

You seem to know even less about trade than you do about history or politics.

I guess you’re not going to name any actual colonies, right?
