The problem is that these debt amounts are so large now that countries could easily justify a war against another country that refuses to honor the debt obligation.

I don't think the Chinese want that war. They know that we would have no choice but to go nuke on them, and that would kill too many of their people and destroy too much of what they've gained in the last two decades. Checkmate.

Their best hope is that we return our country to the sensible models that made it an economic superpower. Only then can we hope to repay them.

The war with China wont be against China. They are too smart for that. We will be fighting the North Koreans while trying to rescue and preserve the South Koreans. Automatic trip wires are all in place.
