It's pretty well understood that the third largest holder of US TBills recently has been the OPEC/UK block; UK dollars are thought to be petro-dollars (via London). This total is very nearly equal to the top two, either Japan or China.
Amazing that we can send hundreds of billions of dollars to these _oil_ nations and somehow that money doesn't have any USA clout in some folks minds. Wake up!
