The debt is one trillion, not multiples thereoff. No China will never call in the loan. It is receiving US$73M per day in interest payments, it would rather have the interest than the lump sum returned. It is the typical bank lender situation. China knows the USA cannot repay the debt (it is broke) so is happy to collect the interest forever more. Money for jam.

In fact if USA goes to war with China over Taiwan and the South China Seas, it will largely fight against a Chinese military funded by USA tax payers.

Geopolitically China wont recall the loan is that it would decimate the value of the USA dollar and increase the value of their Yuan. Would make Chinese export trading noncompetitive.

” China, on the other hand, needs to be concerned about loaning money to a nation that also has the limitless authority to print it in any amount. High inflation in the U.S. would have adverse effects on China, as the real repayment value to China would be reduced in the case of high inflation in the U.S.

Willingly or unwillingly, China will have to continue to purchase U.S. debt to ensure price competitiveness for its exports at the international level. “.

We live in a strange world of interdependence.

In time, Europe may become self sufficient, militarily speaking, but that’s at least a decade away. But that is neither here nor there. The real problem here, assuming that any of it is true, of course, is that Europe is about to undergo a radical military transformation, one that will see militarily spending ramped up considerably and all other forms of spending compromised as a result. This is bad news for Europeans and good news for the US war economy. And all the politics that has gone into this change and the requirements needed to keep this change going, none of this is remotely democratic. And then we have the theater of Trump, appearing like a madman/action man (depending on what side of the political illusion we attach ourselves to) who appears to be breaking up/walking away from the status quo when all that he is really doing is laying the groundwork for the new US/European military framework to come into being. Genius stuff really, assuming, again, that any of this is true.

According to the BBC a “surprise result” LOL.

I’m not arguing that Ukraine has a case to answer for. My point is fucking nuclear diplomacy means that under no circumstances can two nuclear armed states come to blows.

We had a chance to end it in the opening days 10 years ago. Now Ukraine looks like WW1. There is no way Ukraine can be considered in a winning position and neither can NATO tanks take back the initiative in time. Putin now owns 20% of Ukraine specifically the land bridge to Russia’s only warm water port. Understand that no one other than Putin owns that port.

Now just take your medicine and accept the Peace Deal.

do you run with rabid dogs? liberals on both sides of the Canadian border get on fine and are standing in solidarity against this frothing mongrel of an administration.
