Yep this.

Ok. Still not plagiarism though. They’ve referred to the original author and credited their work.

Other post is correct. At worst it’s lazy clickbaiting.

The article is about Professor Hannah Fry’s work.

That would be the same Professor Hannah Fry in the video…

Again your own post. You do put a couple of maybes in there but then say the only exception is Norway and finish with a very unambiguous final sentence that EU governments do not own US government debt.

It’s not me that’s trying to save face by bringing a load of maybes into it. You were wrong. EU governments do own US debt.

Just the last two sentences again since you seem to be a bit thick

It’s the last line. Where they say it is owned by governments just not European ones. That’s just wrong. They do own some of it. How much is up for debate but to say they don’t is wrong.

Also agree they probably won’t do anything with it as using it as a lever will also damage global markets, increase the overall cost of debt and impact all the economies involved.

However the world seems so fucking mental at the moment. So who’s to say it won’t happen.

Also I do wonder if China might do it with theirs just because they can, to flex their muscles or as a big fuck you to the US.

Here we go your own post where you sat they weren’t owned by European governments. Only Norway

Nope your turn to prove that none of this debt is owned by European governments.

I’ve provided the most reputable source that says the debt is owned by governments and within their breakdown it says some of those countries are European.

It doesn’t provide a detailed breakdown of private Vs government for these countries but no where does it say that is debt is only privately owned in European nations.

You need to prove that or stop talking nonsense.

Although not technically part of the EU anymore the UK government has confirmed a number of times that it owns US debt. Other nations will certainly do this as well.

Unless you can provide a source that says that no European governments own US debt you’re just making things up.

The section you’ve quoted that line from is only talking about privately owned US debt.

As you can see from the actual beginning of the paragraph rather than picking out the words you like at the end.

As I’ve already posted and mentioned right at the start of the pdf

See where it says 44.2% are held by foreign governments. Governments.

In the document from Congress.

About their own national debt ownership breakdown.

Then when we look at the country breakdown of ownership of this debt later on there are plenty of European nations in there.

Hmmm except that just saying the same thing again still doesn’t make you right.

When you get further down the pdf from Congress (or any other valid source on government debt breakdown) there’s a number of European countries. Such as this.

Have you got any actual sources for your statements other than just repeating the same thing?

Ok except you’re completely wrong. The foreign holdings are both private and government owned. From https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/RS/PDF/RS22331/RS22331.51.pdf
