Canada alone holds almost $500 billion in US debt. Europe and Japan hold another $2.5 trillion in US debt. America is picking fights with people who can bankrupt them.
You wouldn't believe how difficult they are to mark. The basic skills of penmanship and sentence construction have fallen through the floor. 20% of students in my last class didn't even attempt the short answer section on an exam that was otherwise multiple choice.
Japan, the EU, and Canada together hold 3 trillion in US debt and they are flexing that muscle. https://deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-checkmate-how-canadas-quiet
