They have to find a buyer of all of these assets, no? Who's really holding the cards here?? Does anyone know the effects of them dropping the petrodollar though?
The US could simply blacklist any prospective buyer of those bonds
Saudis talking mad shyt and can't write the check. They are desperate.

What about the petrodollar though. Let's say the Saudis decide to go with the Chines Yuan (they're already giving them a bad economy discount). Would that jack our gas prices back to the 3-4 range?
Russia wouldn't allow but if it did.....interesting. Prices will shoot up, maybe beyond 3-4 a gallon. Thats really the only downside. It would get us out of the middle east. China and Russian relations would be frayed. More emphasis on alternative fuel sources which will benefit our society in the long wrong.
The Saudis would be surrenduring any chance at US protection against Islamists attempting to overthrow the KSA

I honestly don't know what the law entails are we trying to make them responsible for lawsuits due to terrorism?You're saying it sarcastically but its actually very similar to past and current US policy
Yeah they'd have to find buyer... the numbers are out of the realm I can comprehend
The US is from what I can tell.
what are they going to trade in other than the dollar? lol
Also so say they sell all these treasuries what are they going to back up their own currency/debt with.
I remember people were worried if China had a big selloff years ago and they eventually did overtime, from what I remember it had no effect on the US.
I think I have a decent grasp of economics :yeashrug:

China has dumped billions and it hasn't moved interest rates. Anyone looking for a safe investment comes running back to the US.

So they kind of got us by the balls in the short term, but would actually be fuming themselves even harder in the mid and long term.
I say fukk em and let them pass the bill. Would be very interesting to see how the victims would be able to sue a government based on some individuals actions. I just want to see what comes from the exploratory phase
.We would likely find out that a lot of shot going on is state-sponsored somehow.
But let's sue gun makers .. Not terrorist makers
