I think if they come to this site to meet people behind your back, there is something wrong with the relationship. Saying, 'you won't allow' that is being controlling and could have something to do with why they did it.
Yes, I agree, China owns 1.2 trillion dollars of US debt of a total of 14 trillion. 9.8 trillion dollars is owned by the American people and the rest by foreigners. What happens if 1.2 trillion dollars gets put on the market? I don't know...and what happens to the US dollar if a new international currency is decided on? Again, I don't know...but I know it will not be good for the US. If China runs into financial problems, they may put that debt on the market. It really isn't a question of who wants to see what, but rather how the financial markets play out.
Well yes, the United States is claiming to be the most powerful country in the world. But is it? Any country that gets too big and too powerful will eventually collapse and mostly because of financial reasons in my opinion. The assumption that the US is going to head into trouble is from two things I see, first there is an international discussion on moving away from using the American dollar as an International currency and the second thing is the amount of US debt that is owned by foreign countries, China in particular.
If a new international currency is brought in, the US dollar will fall, increasing prices for imported goods. Second, if China puts the debt it holds on the market, the US dollar is going to be worth a lot less.
Nobody as far as I know wants to see the US take a hit, but that is what will bring a lot of problems to the US and could bring about a collapse. There is only so much money that can be printed and only so much debt before bankruptcy.
Rome was non-violent after adopting Christianity? The Christians had a bad habit of murdering a lot of people. And the crusades? Christians slaughtered millions upon millions in all nine crusades.
Agreed, all empires fall eventually. Greed is usually the culprit as well. I think if you look at the US today, the seeds of discontent are already there...it is just a matter of time. And financially, it is close to being broke.
