Suppose several countries dump their T bills at once.
Then what?

What a non story. Guy was asked a question and answered it diplomatically. What was he supposed to say leading up to a negotiation?

I’m pretty sure we still have Enola Gay somewhere out there in good condition.

OH YEA! Well here is what Japan does not know. In 1945 US soldiers captured Godzilla. The US has been holding him in a secure location. Teasing him real good, and is prepared to let him go again in Tokyo. Rumors are that Godzilla is not the only one we captured.

This guy is into seppuku.

There is no way Japan would blow up their economy like that. Threats are not very effective when they are empty.

How about we pull our troops and protection out of Japan. I wonder how China would react to that? I know those two countries just loooove each other. And Korea would be troubled about which side to take in that fight.
