A study of the US budget under Trump shows conclusively that all government services to the population (disaster assistance, education, healthcare, scientific research) have evaporated while the essential functions of a police state (soldier, guns, bullets, surveillance technology) have mushroomed.

Yesterday, Deutsche Bank floated the possibility that EU/NATO countries dump US treasury bonds in lieu of a military conflict. The FT carried it earlier & I've seen reels on Insta. Clearly, this is risky as it could implode the banking system. But with US debt what it is, it's a real Achilles heel.
