Playing with the numbers does not help your arguement.

What numbers guy? You're telling me a country the size of Japan or a little place like Tawain is on par with the US?

Get real. Seriously. Get real.

You have no conception of the power and might of the US if you think Japan is more powerful than we are. Or any other country.

Oh really, you need to know that Japan holds around one third to one quarter of the U.S. Bonds dealing with the national debt.

They hold our collective balls in a vice, because they could call in those bonds anytime they want too.
