      Selling the American military tech to China, Russia and India would also pull the rug under the Americans.

      This really is the equivalent to using a nuke: You would not ever want to actually do it, but you absolutely need to convince your opponent that you *would* do it.

      I am not sure if our politicians are competent enough to pull this off… but I suppose, now is as good a time to learn this as any really, so, go on!

      please do it
      This country has to be broken in order to potentially survive and Europe needs to stand up for itself for Western Society to survive.

      Could someone ELI5 what this means and why it would pull the rug on the economy?

      To be able to sell Us treasures before they mature, you need a 3rd party to buy them. Most internet people don’t understand this.

      And you’d have to sell them at a discount. Private equity would no doubt buy as much as possible. It would be one of the biggest transfers of wealth from government to private equity we’ve ever seen.

      Also, if you sold your equities, other investors would buy them up quick.

      It actually wouldn’t do much to the US of our treasuries just changed owners.

      That is about the only thing the ruling oligarchs are afraid of. The other thing would be that those stupefied idiots awaken and tear them limb from limb.

      I’m American. And this is ok. Far too many idiots in my country need a harsh lesson

      Sell all of US asset. That would teach us a lesson.

      if they cant sell its just gonna devalue the asset they have. this is not doable nor they can do it. clueless morons here talking nonsense lol

      So how does that work exactly?

      EU sells holdings of UST, market makers get overwhelmed, price crater etc… But new FED can magically buy up everything on Trumps’ order no?

      and what to do with 10Tr USD? Sell that vs what? EUR? So EUR rises, makes EU exports uncompetitive?

      Someone explain please

      …and…crash their own economy in the process by taken a massive loss?

    22. Opposite-Cranberry76 on

      Isn’t the critical thing not that they’re sold, but that at the next auction, nobody buys?

      Maybe a coordinated buyer’s strike is both a stronger message and has less financial blowback risk.

      This will never work you need a buyer to sell if you sell a lot faster the price goes down and you loose as a seller.
      What we can do realistically is start reducing all assets we have that are in US dollars slowly like China and India.
      Private equity is already buying what china n India are selling but if you add the European to it I doubt private equity can buy it all.
      We also need to lower our US reserves currently 60% of our reserves are US dollars

      “Defies logic” says the protector of a fascist, pedophile, dictator. The hypocrisy is actually painful.
