I get it now, thanks. Any country who we owe a debt to, or who claims we owe a debt, is free to kidnap. That does narrow the risk to Americans somewhat.

For those kidnapped in furtherance of collecing on a claim might be freed, but never by payment of ransom.

Well, that’s an interesting way to look at it. The good news is that we don’t usually refuse to pay what we owe. Those who hold our notes have been getting paid on time.
