when you got the strongest military in world history, you don't have to pay shyt

who gon make us pay? Japan? Israel? :mjlol:
Those days are long over. You really gonna be fighting other countries with actual armies. Houthi rebels held the first international waterways blockade without even having a Navy. The US military can't even find recruit so who is going to fight these imaginary wars you cooked up in your head???

People don't appreciate how fukked up things are. just a small carry trade unwind caused the stock market to drop 10%. What happens when more of these BS Wall Street shenanigans start unraveling and at the same time?

We've got debt swap arrangements that exceed the size of the world economy. At a certain point, there's not going to be a rug big enough to sweep this all under.

It's not being in debt, it's having so much debt you have to borrow to pay off the interest in your debt is when there's a problem
This isn't how it works. Look up MMT.

The national debt is just a record of how much money the government has invested in its people historically. Nobody needs to "pay off" the debts.

The government pays out interest on government bonds that it has chosen to issue when their date becomes due. Because this amount is in U.S. dollars and the U.S. issues that currency, the government can always pay out the interests on these bonds to citizens, corporations or foreign governments. There is no risk of defaulting on this "debt". The money doesn't need to be raised through taxes first.
