      That’s the nuclear bomb that I think every country is holding off using (for now)

          Maybe, but selling bonds would hurt the US more than other countries because of their high federal debt (if I‘m not mistaken).

            Among other reasons yes. Canada lead original sell off will likely accelerate and obliterate 10 year bonds.

      Sell the housesbonds to whom, fucking aquaman? (But really, who wants to buy bonds from a country with absolutely zero rule of law?)

        That’s the point. Dumping US bonds on the market lowers their price, forcing the US to renegotiate at a higher interest rate.

        When aquaman is the only buyer, the US is fucked due to their enormous debt.
