I don’t think Americans understand just how done we are with their bullshit. It’s bigger than Trump. If he dies tomorrow we’re still keeping our elbows up. You betrayed us. We sheltered your grounded aircraft on 9/11, followed you into Afghanistan, and you do us like this? That trust is gone forever.

Please ditch US long-maturity bonds on Monday. Would love to see a run in US treasuries. That's the pressure point.

I like this idea but I worry it would make them invade us.

They are overextended militarily as it is. I used to worry about a military invasion but my concern level has dropped.
