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

        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

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
