You know the sad part to all this. I think we all want this to happen, but unfortunately, this will not touch Trump or his family or the other enablers. The people that will pay financially will be the American people. Because Trump doesn’t give one damn and never has. And when it does come down to that, I think the American people will all stand up in unison and say we’ve had enough. But I would say everyone of us want to see Trump and his family held financially for the they have done to this country.😡😡
European nations collectively only hold about $3T of US debt. Not sure about other assets outside of treasury debt. About $8T of US debt is held by all non-US entities. In any event, $3T is enough to cause a major global shock if all European nations tried to sell off their debt holdings at one time. Bond prices would plummet & yields would skyrocket. That would hurt both the US and the debt holders.
As SRC notes, it would hurt ordinary people. It would actually be harmful to both the US and Europe. I think hitting the tech companies and other targeted entities would be more effective and less destructive overall. I do see why anyone holding US debt would want to divest right now - especially in Europe.
I welcome any pushback that anyone does to the staggeringly corrupt and insane administration that my country somehow let happen. It cannot end soon enough.
How did we end up being "lead" by someone who doesn't understand economics, science, the law and the Constitution, or basic common sense? If the U.S. had actual leaders, this idiot running the country off a financial and moral cliff would have been impeached, removed, and perhaps jailed during his first stint in office. It isn't too late, but time has nearly run out. He is making the U.S. a fourth-world country, and I cannot blame intelligent world leaders for fighting back.
Even though this will be a financial hit, I see no other carrots to dangle. When it hits the purse it will hurt, and get American citizens to wake the fuck up.
I am 77 and autism spectrum disordered. School was cruel and unusual punishment for me. I read Shakespeare and soiled my diapers and had a PHD vocabulary at 7 and failed Dick ,Jane and white picket fences. I read constantly. I took the buses to the library after school and my parents said I was allowed to read EVERYTHING. My father landed in New York in 1928 with a Jesuit High School diploma AND A PROFICIENCY IN Jewish RITUALS, BELIEFS AND HISTORY. My father spoke and read 10 languages including Polish, Yiddish, Russian, English, Ukrainian and Hebrew. My father told me 70 years ago what DNA from Columbus and son told us in 2024. Columbus was a goddamned Jew like us. Columbus was no Italian sailor, he was a western European fleeing a previous Roberts' Holy Roman Court of Inquisition. My mother's father was from the Russian Pale of Settlement and I met my great grandparents who had fled the Czar during the pogroms in Romania. School made no sense to me I was outside the normal spectrum of human behaviour known as autism which is the entire spectrum, everyone is autistic. I am high functioning Asperger's Syndrome like Elon the Nazi from Apartheid South Africa. We are all autistic even the comatose electorate of America.
Charlie Lindbergh and Henry Ford were Nazis and Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goebbels financed America First. The holocaust began in 1939 in Havana Cuba with the acquiescence of Roosevelt, Chamberlain, Mackenzie King, Pope Pius xii AND all of Europe, the British Empire and the Roman Catholiques in the Americas.
The only thing we need in Greenland is a prison with a golf course for Trump , Putin, Orban and Netanyahu and their minions in New York , Texas , Florida, Russia, Israel, Hungary and Canada. Woodie Guthrie wrote this land was made for you and me and the ballad of the Nazi Charlie Lindbergh and his Amerika first. "They say America First but they mean Amerikkka Next.

100%. We need an American Spring! It's nice to know the EU knows the meaning of diplomacy. Trump doesn't have the power he thinks he does.
But then, the American people elected him, or failed to not-elect him, so maybe the placement of this consequence is not so outrageous.
I didn't vote for him.
Political consequences are rarely personally placed and often not personally fair.
We’ve seen the TACO phenomenon previously when China and other Asian countries began selling Treasury bonds.
I think Europe needs to do this at least partially and then ban major Rump backers from their countries for 10 years

Cory Doctorow has a good article on something that could be done to hit the big techs. https://pluralistic.net/2026/01/17/erin-lets-go/#circumvention-haven

Revolution. We did it once. It’s time.
Your graphics are fantastic!

It seems to me that trumps goal is to create a civil war
Europe absolutely MUST do this!
Canada holds a significant amount of the debt as well
