      And that’s the first domino…

      Get ready peeps. Lots of countries about to sell off US debt.

      HOLY SHIT. That is very very bad for the interest rates and the free market. Good move by Denmark, they hit us where we hurt.

      $100 million is a bunch, but not yet a great bunch.
      Enough bunch to be an effective shot across the bow, though.

      100mn is a tiny chip of the great debt mountain that is the United States. But it’s a start, and the EU can do much bigger damage in the next round.

      And the finances can be fixed if the US taxed the wealthy… it’s not that complicated.

      Oh, speaking of moves that defy logic, Mr. Bessent…

      > European countries own $8 ~~billion~~ trillion worth of U.S. bonds and equities, nearly double the amount of the rest of the world combined.

      Wow, I honestly didn’t know this. Who needs nukes as deterrent in such a scenario.

      Edit: Fixed a typo in the article! I thought that sounded funny…

      As a nation we are simply too stupid to make a decision that would help us without explicitly feeling the downsides. Good for the Danish and good for Europe. We’ve tried talking to our neighbors but they’re just so fucking dumb. They won’t help themselves unless they don’t get dinner.

      What does selling us debt mean? It sounds like passing debt to someone else.

      instead of just pulling out, why don’t they short US stocks? they should put money where their mouth is.

      trump had the Federal Reserve print eight trillion dollars in currency and flooding it into the market economy causing inflation and the value of the dollar to drop and those countries have a right to sell them off for the benefit of their citizens, businesses and government.

      Ive read through the thread ideas and havnt seen the most effective approach mentioned,Personally sanction Trump inc. as if he was a demented dictator?
      He has property in the UK,Scottish golf course.Oh boy would he take that personally.No worldwide economy meltdown(Though maybe worldwide nuclear meltdown).
      Is this possible for the Eu/Uk to do legally?

      If they do it at the right time they can really push up the interest rate on US debt costing the US much more than 100m

      Realistically how much is that? Is that just a smart shot across the bow?. When they sell who buys ? If they sell too much or others do the same do the buyers become scarce causing a price drop? How might this pan out?

      This is the way. No winners but America loses bigger. Putin has a real charmer down there.

    24. -HealingNoises- on

      Ah, there we go. That’s the proper big button domino the uncaring sociopaths will actually be threatened by. There is no other way, consequences have to be felt.

    28. Friendly_Money_4401 on

      Is it an actual irl option to sanction him personally as a sitting president?
      Edit typo
