No mention of the queen rooking Woodrow Wilson, or the KING giving us money we needed so badly.

~$17bn in liberty bonds raised

I love conpsiracy theories, LOVE THEM, but you gotta give me something more than 'bruh everyone knows it'

Everybody knows Richard Gere shoved a gerbil up his ass too, but nobody has pics, so shens.

JP Morgan and the other financial magnates of the US also made it fucking huge, AGAIN, off of financing loans to the UK & France prior to the US entry into WWI

complain all you want about international handrubbing and finance, bruh, but you're about 50 years too early to complain about debt products being owned by foreign governments at this point

also, that social security act agreement you posted?

But, and this is a big thing, 99.9% of people don't understand what happened during and after WW2 wrt global finance. Bretton Woods and the follow-ups are predicated on the US being a debtor nation because it is the finance vehicle for everyone else. And most are like WTF we owe everyone money, well, technically, but they have to hold US dollars to do international business, and each of our dollars is a bit of debt, yes. US Dollar replaced the pound. It is why China 'owns' so much of our debt, it is because China does fuck tons of business, and does it in US Dollars.

Literally just a fucking agreement saying that the US & UK (plus territories) have a joint social security act/administration

so you won't get fucked for moving inbetween them for business/temporary living purposes

@T E M P L O I T E R And if they ever actually call upon those treasuries to be paid - either the globally economy has completely collapsed or *that act will cause the economy to crash*

fun times being the world's reserve currency

China might unload more US treasury products, mind you, they already started a while ago

I remember in the 80s it was Japan, we're turning Japanese, etc, and the movie Gung-Ho, the Japanese owned so much of our debt for the same reason. In the 70s it was the Arabs, but that was the same reason, have to buy and sell oil in US Dollars.

they might try to become the world's reserve currency

we'll see how it goes

I'm assuming their aging crisis will cripple them

Who China?

I can see China being admonished pretty badly for their African colonialism this decade or next

Yeah, One Child fucked them, they are facing a shortening window to do anything. It was what One Belt One Road is for, they're pulling a US/Europe without the immigration. They need labor to support their aging population once they can't work anymore, but don't want to import them into China, so they are exporting China to Africa to do it offshore.

vs

So in 20 to 40 years they are going to be Fuuuuuucked.

different ratios on display, obviously, but the shape is really all that matters

ye

just like Japan

Maple leaf on bottom lmao

massive aging population retiring out

also, America has something like 12.5-30M illegals who will never be removed

and huge immigration to this day

Yeah, that's the choice we made, and I don't think it will pan out either.

point being - if you care about pure population growth

But, I'm sure somebody said the same thing about the Irish and Italians too.

you've got it

I-IS THAT... IS THAT AN ITALIAN?

Nothing would thrill me more than to still be kicking in 40 years and see 100% integrated Mexicans like you see Italians and Irish today.

There's no more eurodiaspora without a big EU economic collapse

Pew's latest poll indicated that, generally, you need to hit third generation for 50%+ of hispanics to identify as American exclusively
