If they were leveraging debt in order to reap big gains due to their investment, they would not have the astronomical debt they carry. I don't see that much investment from American companies here either when compared to other actors. The ones that carry operations here have a big tendency to run decoy headquarters in Europe and run the thick of the actual work in Asia. What you see on the ground is a massive lack of supplies which suggests international supply chains are stressed. Peeople needs a prothesic knee replacement but it takes a month to arrive. People needs an AC coupling but theonly models available are the ones nobody wants to buy. This suggests trading is not running smooth. If your hipothesis is that the US is recouping their debt expenses via trading then I have to assume revenue is going low because suply chains are thin. This reinforces my own hypothesis that the model is not as tought as thought. They had to redefine "recession" and now the international market is overflooded by USDs that used to be circulating in the INternational market andnow are not being used. This kind of supports my hypothesis too. n fact I dare say that if I had to accept your premises, the NATO Itself would be under an extreme existential threat, at least as powerful as the one the Russian population think they face themselves. -- gopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalken --- þ Synchronet þ Palantir BBS * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL .
