Very interesting post about why Denmark and others haven’t mined Greenland

Denmark need to sign the invoice “Sold as seen” before Trump encounters an actual expert (someone outside his usual circle) and tells him it’s a waste of money.
Welcome to the United States Greenlanders, say goodbye to free healthcare, employment rights, tariff-free trade with Europe and being owned by a democracy.
Anyway, thank you for your attention, the Best President Ever.

They’ll probably kidnap King Frederik and his family, and put them on trial.

…for flooding the US market with decent bacon?
@Cristo wouldn’t crashing the US treasures just cause the EU to take instance capital loses. Like if trump is smart has he thinks he is he just called the bluff and see EU just cripple it’s self.
I’m afraid I don’t have a good enough understanding of the bond market to answer that tbh but it didn’t seem to worry China

A Deep, Structural Look at “EU Dumps U.S. Treasuries”
## 1. **Immediate market mechanics**
When a major holder suddenly sells a huge volume of Treasuries:
- **Bond prices collapse** because supply floods the market.
- **Yields spike** (interest rates rise) because yields move inversely to price.
- **Liquidity dries up** as buyers hesitate during a panic.
- **Volatility surges** across global bond markets.
This is the financial equivalent of slamming the brakes on a moving truck — everything inside gets thrown forward.

## 2. **U.S. economic shockwave**
Higher Treasury yields ripple through the entire U.S. economy:
- **Mortgage rates jump**
- **Corporate borrowing costs rise**
- **Government deficit worsens** because interest payments explode
- **Stock markets fall** as future earnings get discounted more heavily
The U.S. economy becomes more expensive to run overnight.

## 3. **EU self‑inflicted damage**
This is the part people often overlook.
Dumping Treasuries hurts the EU too:
- **They sell at a loss** because prices fall as they sell
- **European banks take write‑downs** on their Treasury holdings
- **Euro strengthens too fast** as dollars are sold, hurting EU exports
- **ECB stability is threatened** because Treasuries are used as safe collateral
It’s like trying to punch someone while standing on a skateboard — you lose balance too.
-–
## 4. **Global systemic risk**
U.S. Treasuries are the backbone of global finance. They’re used for:
- **Collateral in global lending**
- **Pricing of risk assets**
- **Foreign exchange reserves**
- **Safe‑haven flows**
If Treasuries wobble, the entire global financial system wobbles.
This could trigger:
- **Margin calls**
- **Forced liquidations**
- **Bank stress events**
- **Currency instability**
This is why no major economy ever wants to destabilize Treasuries — it’s mutually assured financial destruction.
-–
## 5. **Geopolitical fallout**
The U.S. would interpret a sudden dump as a hostile act.
Likely responses:
- **Sanctions**
- **Trade restrictions**
- **Diplomatic retaliation**
- **Financial countermeasures**
This would mark the beginning of a major geopolitical fracture.
-–
## 6. **Long‑term structural consequences**
If the EU truly abandoned Treasuries:
- **Global reserve currency diversification accelerates**
- **Dollar dominance weakens**
- **Euro and yuan gain influence**
- **U.S. borrowing costs remain permanently higher**
- **Global financial architecture reshapes**
This would be one of the most significant economic events of the century.

The core truth
Dumping Treasuries is not a weapon — it’s a **mutually destructive economic bomb**.
Both sides get hurt, and the global system shakes.
That’s why it’s considered a **last‑resort move**, only imaginable in a severe geopolitical breakdown.

Adds “strongly condemns” to the list. That’ll teach Iran.

Still waiting for European condemnation of the US murdering its own people.
It feels like leaders on this side of the pond are following the examples of the many Republicans who’ve taken a “keep your head low, hope this all blows over” approach to Trump’s increasingly erratic regime.
American citizens being assaulted, kidnapped and executed in broad daylight. @Trion and @Cristo tell us again how big of a meanie Maduro is.
But what about all those Venezuelan people taking to the streets celebrating?
Donald Trump changing regimes like a leopard changing its spots.

Trump rather ominous comments at the weekend on Air Force One when asked about whether Ice Officers have absolute immunity his clear message was “Well, I’m going to let the people define it but immunity, you know what Immunity? What knows means as well as I do”.
I think we can all learn from the smartest, fittest President the world has ever seen.
