Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-26

[crazy canuck]

The Daily Express (so yeah) reports that European leaders are considering dumping trillions of dollars of US debt if the US "sells out" Ukraine...

I'd entirely ignore the Express. Interesting to see what the WSJ report it's summarising says though. I've not seen anyone else pick it up so my assumption is they've put a fair bit of spin on a throwaway line in the WSJ.

And it looks like it mostly originated as a Reddit post.  Both it and the WSJ report were both probably drafted by AI.

Although there was a bit of a bond sell off today, but for the usual kinds of reasons. Not because of displeasure with US policy over Ukraine.

There is no way those cowards will risk pissing off Daddy Trump

I think they would be fine pissing off Trump, but bringing down the US economy would likely bring down everyone else's economy.  It would be game of chicken, see who blinks first.  Trump often backs down with faced with real resistance.  Anyway, at this point I am fine with destroying the economy.

It worked for China.
