LOL. We own over half your country. -- nm - China Jul 8, 12:03 2
- Not really. Their main leverage would be that America's supply chain is in China -- nm - Roger More Jul 8, 12:12
- yes cause if they attacked the US directly I'm sure the Govt wouldn't make moves to take back everything they own here. -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 12:04
yeah, the global financial markets would *love* that... -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 12:02 14
- and why wouldn't they. Trillons of dollars just got freed up for America to buy shit elsewhere. - Beaker Jul 8, 12:09 12
  - You talk like those dollars aren't generated by goods and services. - TWuG Jul 8, 12:13 8
    - other countries would fill the void. America would be on a war footing. -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 12:16 7
      - American consumers won't be spending as much if there's a war. -- nm - Roger More Jul 8, 12:34
      - Yeah, cause it's that easy to set up a manufacturing base. -- nm - TWuG Jul 8, 12:28 5
        
        so rol over and hsow China your belly? -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 12:29 4
        
        I exist, you know! -- nm - Excluded Middle Jul 8, 12:32 3
        
        if China attacks America's Pacific Fleet and they don't go 100% balls to the wall after them, they deserve to get steamrolled -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 12:33 2
        
        The point is that China has a lot to lose from a war with the US, and America has a lot to lose from a war with China. - Roger More Jul 8, 12:47
        
        "yes America I know we just killed thousands of your sailors in our unprovoked attack, but if you could pay us our debt payment that would be great" -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 12:39
  - Unless we unilaterally cancel the debt we owe you. - znufrii Jul 8, 12:11 2
    - it is WW3. Countries would be picking sides and anyone who owed a shitload to China would be all over this. But again, who the hell knows what would - Beaker Jul 8, 12:15
    - (not that there wouldn't be plenty of time for them to unload treasuries beforehand, driving interest rates sky high) -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 12:13
- I'm sure they'd do backflips over WW3 -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 12:02
