Default Re: Worst case scenario in the U.S. and elsewhere

China owns a lot of the USA's wealth by now. They own a lot of dollars, companies, and real estate, and hold a lot of US debt.

When they want to redeem any of their investment in the above, and if they are refused, then the credibility of the US will suffer. And that would matter big time. The US has moved so much of it's manufacturing off shore that it would take too long to generate a local economy again. There would be revolution long before it could happen. It would never come down to military confrontation. It would never have to.

The weasel PTB's that run the US will abandon ship with pockets full at the first hint their pillage is coming to an end.
