He owes us money because a paper says so. If we decide that paper has no value, we can simply act as if the money he owes us is ours again, since it’s just a contability annotation.

Why would you want to see a circle?

You don’t even need to add them. After all, that money doesn’t physically exist. It’s just an annotation on a contability book. Just erase it and the debt is no more. If the world decides to “erase” those debt annotations on their contability books, the US debt stops existing.

The billionaires are the ones paying for it. The democrats… they are getting paid to let it happen.

Yes, because until not long ago, the US were a country with shit stuff but somewhat reliable.

If you remove the reliability from the equation, one of the parties will most probably stop lending money to the other.

High doubt. Musk and other billionaires don’t have that money. They have shares of companies that are worth a lot… today.

They are rich, they do have money, a lot. But most of it comes from those shares. Is tesla’s shares drop to near 0 value, musk will have shit.

Also, the us can’t make any primary goods on their own. Whose iron are they gonna buy? Whose aluminium? Rare earths? Hell, even the oil will be a problem. Not to talk about electronics; do you think china won’t take taiwan if all this happens?

Yes! This is absolutely the last one! After all, in the last 19 days of the current year, he’s behaved as a totally sane and not-unhinged person, right?

At a certain level, economics are just about good will.

If the whole world sees that the US don’t want to pay, on mutual accord, we can decide that they don’t owe anything to anyone, effectively cancelling the debt.

After that, the US will remain out of the rest of the world without the possibility of borrowing any money at all.

They have to eat. They need to buy guns, gear, ammo… an army is expensive af.

An army of “free patriots” will last more or less a couple of months if lucky before they realize they need money to eat.

The way he’s pushing his shit, I’d be surprised if the states are still united bè the end of the decade.

I’m dreaming with this. Burgerland stops paying a loan and not only they stop getting any more loans, they simply could close the binders and say there is no country anymore.

The internal chaos that would ensue would force us to invent a new term: fourth world, for a country that fell so low that even third-world sounds too good for them.

how long can an army obbey orders if they are not paid?

it would be the bank’s problem if burgerland stopped borrowing money. Instead they keep going because they can’t fund themselves. I wonder what could happen if nobody lent them any more money.

Search “trump letter to norway”.

This.

The manbaby is not smart enough to understand politics. He just understands force. By not doing anything “by force”, he just keeps being a manbaby while the world drifts away from him without him even realizing.

What’s going to happen here is that one day, the turd will start another tantrum and, instead of saying “yes, sir, you are right, now let’s keep being friends”, the same people will just look away the same way a parent ignores a kid throwing a tantrum over a snack they did not get.

I’m not sure it will be unfuckable to be fair. The amount of damage (reputational and whatnot) is so big that the country is right now a banana republic with a toddler autocrat. The only reason people still cater to him is his army. But even for that to keep working, he needs money. And there’s a limit to how much other countries can tolerate.

He’s dumb enough to not realize the US is drowning in ever-growing debt that other countries could simply cash in and send the whole manbaby imperialist fantasies to hell in a month or less.

High cholesterol, a blood clot, a stroke, an ugly fall, a heart attack… I’m rooting for so many fatal conditions right now.

no, our leaders should need to be smart. But as we can see on exhibit “letter to Norway”, what people elect is a mentally deficient piece of shit that went to elections saying “I’m modern hitler and am going to do nazi stuff to all of you” because the alternative was a black, normal, decent woman.

A stupid amount of burgerlanders, apparently.

Can we be done with 2026 already, please? It’s been one fuck of a decade.
