Amid rising geopolitical tensions, discussions have surfaced about potential economic countermeasures by European NATO nations, Canada, and China, particularly regarding US Treasury securities., Economy, Times Now
It’s the last line. Where they say it is owned by governments just not European ones. That’s just wrong. They do own some of it. How much is up for debate but to say they don’t is wrong.
Also agree they probably won’t do anything with it as using it as a lever will also damage global markets, increase the overall cost of debt and impact all the economies involved.
However the world seems so fucking mental at the moment. So who’s to say it won’t happen.
Also I do wonder if China might do it with theirs just because they can, to flex their muscles or as a big fuck you to the US.
I counted, I say 5 times “mainly” or a variation of “mainly” in our discussion and I wrote one ambiguous (if taken out of context) sentence. You’re trying to save face at this point.
Again your own post. You do put a couple of maybes in there but then say the only exception is Norway and finish with a very unambiguous final sentence that EU governments do not own US government debt.
It’s not me that’s trying to save face by bringing a load of maybes into it. You were wrong. EU governments do own US debt.
Just the last two sentences again since you seem to be a bit thick
I put no maybes. I put mainlies. Do you understand the difference?
It’s easy to take a sentence without context and making it say something else, but it’s a bad faith argument. You only discussed in bad faith until now.

Ha ok to put mainly rather than maybe. A typo by me.
Again you did say mainly. Apart from the section where you said it was only Norway and then that no EU governments owned US debt.
Your post again.
“Only Norway” which you then clarify isn’t EU. Then a whole sentence that clearly says that EU governments don’t own any US debt.
Just can’t admit that post was wrong huh.
