Why would you make a payment. It’s not like heir financial ties and banking relationships are ever coming back. We simply stole 600 billion and that’s the end of it.
We’ll see if it was worth it when US bond holders and hedge funds don’t get paid.
The best case scenario is this action is an amazingly short sighted stupid move made by American politicians. You’d have to be an idiot not to see the ramifications of this action for years to come. Half the world will be hesitant to put a nickel in U.S. banks after this. More likely it is the work of the global cabal though.
