Are treasuries actually callable at any time?

They would dump them on the open market. If $1T+ in Treasuries hit all at once that could mess with interest rates driving rates up for the issuing of new Treasuries which would increase the cost of our debt (since we are still in a borrowing position).

Why would they do that? Seems the way the global financial markets are set up, we're all kind of in it together.

So they are going to flood the market and thus drive down the price they get in order to make us pay more interest on new debt? So it costs us some more, but it's going to cost them also. Not sure where that seems like a huge risk.

My guess is within a month NK will conduct a nuclear test despite China urging them not to. At that time, we devastate their arsenal.

Go ahead and instigate a war. You seem completely comfortable with all the South Korean civilians that will die because of it. I suppose on the bright side, it will allow sane Americans to safely sideline you morons politically for decades to come since you will be directly responsible for it.

It's not. Simply deficit scold fearmongering with little to no basis in reality. China holds about 8% of U.S. debt. U.S. debt is currently not out of line as a percentage of GDP.
 
I tell you what, there is no reason to ever enter into an agreement with America. We can't be trusted. Korea signed a truce with us 60+ years ago and has kept to it, we are about to reward them by breaking our word and invading. Libya signed a deal with us to get rid of Nukes, we promptly invaded. Ukraine signed a deal with us to protect them if they gave up their nukes, now they are occupied by Russia. Toss in NAFTA, The Paris environmental accords, the Iran deal and you can see that our word means nothing.
 
Then it's the most consistent troll job I've seen. He's been this way since Trump took the lead in the GOP nomination run up.

He's a Fox and Trump groupie. Enough said.

It is the biggest risk we currently have, more of a risk than KJU.
