So about that 50% increase in useless defence spending????? I hear that the shares in Lockheed Martin spiked. In the mean time it will just be added to the 38 TRILLION the US owes. Well until the US defaults on its debts and everyone's savings disappear. How many wheel barrows of money will buy a loaf of bread in Weimar USA?

@hippyjoe1955 That's what everyone keeps saying. Remember the 80's? The US was approximately 7 billion in debt and everyone freaked. Yet here we still are....
Did you know Japan's national debt is one of the highest in the world, reaching approximately 1,324 trillion yen, or about 234.9% of its GDP as of March 2025.

@SumKindaMunster So you are not aware of the number of other countries that are dropping the US securities? Billions are being dropped every month and the US treasury is buying because no one else wants them. That can only go on for so long.

@sunsporter1649 That is pretty much the US. Squandering cash all over the place on useless projects and ignoring its own people. How many millions or even billions did the US spend to capture Maduro? What was the gain? Even the DOJ is now saying that Maduro was not involved in drug smuggling. The cartel he supposedly led doesn't exist.

@hippyjoe1955 Well it looks like it stopped already, too bad:
Overview of Foreign Holdings
Foreign countries hold significant amounts of U.S. Treasury securities, which are essential for financing the U.S. government's debt. As of late 2024, foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury securities totaled approximately $8.5 trillion, with Japan and China being the largest holders.
Recent Changes in Holdings
Japan: As of October 2025, Japan held about $1.2 trillion in U.S. Treasuries, showing a consistent increase in its holdings.
China: China's holdings have decreased significantly, dropping to around $760 billion, down from over $1 trillion in previous years. This reduction is attributed to trade tensions and a shift towards diversifying its reserves.
United Kingdom: The U.K. has increased its holdings, surpassing China as the second-largest non-U.S. holder, with approximately $807 billion.
Market Reactions and Implications
Despite concerns about a potential sell-off of U.S. Treasuries, recent data indicates that foreign demand remains strong. In fact, foreign investors added over $300 billion to U.S. assets in late 2025, countering fears of a significant withdrawal from the Treasury market.
Conclusion
While some countries, particularly China, are reducing their Treasury holdings, others like Japan and the U.K. are increasing theirs. Overall, the trend shows a complex landscape where foreign investment in U.S. Treasuries continues, albeit with shifts in specific country holdings.
