Let’s say Norway is a petrostate.
The point is the UK could have done the same with their North Sea oil.
They didn’t. Just pissed the opportunity away letting all the money go into private hands.

Ha ok to put mainly rather than maybe. A typo by me.
Again you did say mainly. Apart from the section where you said it was only Norway and then that no EU governments owned US debt.
Your post again.

“Only Norway” which you then clarify isn’t EU. Then a whole sentence that clearly says that EU governments don’t own any US debt.
Just can’t admit that post was wrong huh.


Again your own post. You do put a couple of maybes in there but then say the only exception is Norway and finish with a very unambiguous final sentence that EU governments do not own US government debt.
It’s not me that’s trying to save face by bringing a load of maybes into it. You were wrong. EU governments do own US debt.

Just the last two sentences again since you seem to be a bit thick



It’s the last line. Where they say it is owned by governments just not European ones. That’s just wrong. They do own some of it. How much is up for debate but to say they don’t is wrong.
Also agree they probably won’t do anything with it as using it as a lever will also damage global markets, increase the overall cost of debt and impact all the economies involved.
However the world seems so fucking mental at the moment. So who’s to say it won’t happen.
Also I do wonder if China might do it with theirs just because they can, to flex their muscles or as a big fuck you to the US.


Here we go your own post where you sat they weren’t owned by European governments. Only Norway



Nope your turn to prove that none of this debt is owned by European governments.
I’ve provided the most reputable source that says the debt is owned by governments and within their breakdown it says some of those countries are European.
It doesn’t provide a detailed breakdown of private Vs government for these countries but no where does it say that is debt is only privately owned in European nations.
You need to prove that or stop talking nonsense.
Although not technically part of the EU anymore the UK government has confirmed a number of times that it owns US debt. Other nations will certainly do this as well.
Unless you can provide a source that says that no European governments own US debt you’re just making things up.


The section you’ve quoted that line from is only talking about privately owned US debt.
As you can see from the actual beginning of the paragraph rather than picking out the words you like at the end.

As I’ve already posted and mentioned right at the start of the pdf

See where it says 44.2% are held by foreign governments. Governments.
In the document from Congress.
About their own national debt ownership breakdown.
Then when we look at the country breakdown of ownership of this debt later on there are plenty of European nations in there.



Hmmm except that just saying the same thing again still doesn’t make you right.
When you get further down the pdf from Congress (or any other valid source on government debt breakdown) there’s a number of European countries. Such as this.

Have you got any actual sources for your statements other than just repeating the same thing?


Ok except you’re completely wrong. The foreign holdings are both private and government owned. From https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/RS/PDF/RS22331/RS22331.51.pdf



Did that flop? Think it did ok here in the UK.
The wing commander games.


That’s why all the billionaires have been going up there. They’re getting the space based medicine we aren’t even allowed to know about yet!


Haven’t watched it in a while but I seem to remember I liked the ending. He thinks he’s outmanoeuvred everyone avoiding jail and a reckoning for his crimes.
However my take on it ending is that he’s now stuck in a dead end desk job with no action and he’s completely cut out of everything else. So a slow death of a thousand cuts thing that he would hate more than a final reckoning.


I’m just a normal functioning member of the human race and there’s no way anyone can prove otherwise.


Holy televisual debut Batman!
For some people with mild astigmatism the coating can help as it reduces the glare enough to make it manageable.
However astigmatism is when the eyeball itself is misshapen. More like a barrel than a sphere. If it’s bad enough then anti glare won’t help even with the correct prescription. Then toric contacts, implants or laser correction is needed. The best solution depends on how bad it is and what is the person’s primary aim. Freedom from glasses, rock solid distance viewing or something else


Maybe if some of it is made of cotton (unlikely usually synthetic) or leather. Even then that will take much longer than that to decompose.


Probably will just disappear.
Would be great for single year plastic items/packaging.
For some reason the article says it decomposes naturaly in 50 days and then goes on to list the automotive industry as a use. Aren’t cars supposed to last longer than 50 days outside?


I have a reliable source for this. The man himself says he knows about the antichrist
Whoop whoop Whitley bay in the house!
The irony is there’s now not really anywhere near there to get in the sea or the old lido. Just a rather meaningless sign on the outside of a park.
