            The US is taking on debt because it is unable to get money otherwise. If the US is unable to pay back its debts, that means that the US is completely out of money, and nobody would lend to them, as they are unable to pay back. US bonds are the most popular because they are seen as low-risk for debt default.

          I literally hope this happens and countries start using the yuan more frequently because it would actually cause China's economy to collapse almost immediately.
          They manipulate their currency more than any other country in the world, in an effort to keep it artificially low when compared to other major currencies.
          It's how they maintain the ability to pay a billion peasants to crank out trinkets on the cheap.
          The ABSOLUTE SECOND there is any real external demand for the yuan, it will increase in value massively while also demanding stabilization as a non-govt controlled side effect.
          It would cause collapse in a month as all those poor workers suddenly saw their meager wages go an exponential distance further, then saw all their income immediately vaporize as nobody could afford to buy "made in China" items anymore, assuming it wasn't immediately dropped by those external entities like a hit potato.

          China prints more Yuan PER DAY than the US printed USD during the whole '08 bailout. You're either moronic or a chinsect if you think China and the Yuan is going to be the new reserve currency. China will be lucky to not collapse in the next decade due to all their manufacturing leaving to other Asian and shithole countries. BRI has already collapsed, like their demographics and employment rates. Hell, last year alone China lost 430,000 businesses, their largest shoe manufacturing warehouse, and millions of jobs. Their ports are filling up with empty shipping containers because exports are down and nobody needs the containers for shipping. They've lied about and inflated their GDP, import/export, demographic, etc. for decades, and have been caught printing counterfeit Yuan banknotes with the same serial number. Again, you'd have to be extremely low IQ, WuMao, or an asshurt chinsect to actually believe China is going to do anything but shrink for the next two decades.

      A third of the debt is debt owed to itself. For example: one part of the government borrows money from the other. Only around 25% of the debt in total is owed to foreign countries. Not to mention that USD is the worlds reserve currency which means they could print a shit load of money out of thin air and people will still want it.

          It's like two counterbalances that even each other out. If you print the global reserve asset then by definition you have to run massive deficits so other institutions have enough dollars to trade, which means you have enough demand of the currency to ensure it doesn't lose value. No one wants to meddle with this because all those institutions holding dollars don't want their assets to become worthless. The reason why de-dollarisation is becoming a thing is because countries don't want to get sanctioned, but most countries don't see themselves as doing anything that will get them sanctioned anyway so they don't care. The sector that is really getting screwed in this deal is US manufacturing and production.

              Not true. Investments enrich investors, not the economy at large. Consumption by the populace increases the economy. It's why consumer spending is such an important metric.Consumption is a misnomer, it's really participation in the market. If you haven't noticed, almost every financial crash in the last 40+ years has been the result of drawn back participation in the market(slumping jobs, low consumer spending, etc.) and increases in investments(mortgage debt trading and the like)

          Essentially when they don't want to raise taxes, but want to fund something they go 'We're loaning ourselves 2 trillion dollars'. Technically it's paid for out of government coffers, but instead of marking it as paid they just mark it as a debt because taking a 'loan' is politically easier than appropriating funds the 'proper' way

            No, they couldn't. The debt is about 30 trillion. The annual budget is about 4 trillion. Being owed to Americans is slightly deceptive, because those American bonds are what's going to be used to pay Social Security, i.e. if they're paid off they zero out and the boomers have to fund their own retirements. This will never happen, so instead they'll be inflated away at the price of raising cost of living for the rest of us.

        That gets you inflation, which means ordinary people will pay the cost with higher cost of goods. When there's inflation, there's tax increase, which means cost of goods rise once more for tax payers. But tax means it slows down business, which means slowed growth in economy. Slow growth in economy could lead to recessions, thus the gov puts in more money into the economy, thereby increase debt once more.

        We're in a viscious cycle in terms of our spending. Healthy economy runs on a virtuous cycle.

      Actually very little of our debt is to China, I think Japan owns more. Regardless, most of our debt is to ourselves thanks to quantitative easing, which is a concept only an economist could have come up with
      >you borrow money from yourself to yourself in order to stimulate the economy by spending your own money on yourself (and thus the money flows from you back to you) in order to increase monetary yields and thus stabilize the economy.

          At this point I just assume that anyone that isn't an economist or a head of industry has no fricking clue how the economy actually works and thus I can discard their opinion. I just used quantitative easing as my example because the way I see it if that makes no sense to someone, they're disqualified from having any power over how macroeconomics works.

              Yes but they've at least studied the bullshit the world runs on, they actually know that the economy on its deepest level is unironic "you have to clap to show you believe in fairies in order to save Tinkerbell's life at the end of the play" logic, because the concept of money doesn't exist in the natural world, we had to make it up. But everything past that is theory too complicated for the average person to understand.

              Think about it, why is gold valuable as a currency? Why were most economies backed by gold for the longest time and not just some other rock that's limited in supply? Sure there's practical uses for gold in modern electronics but we only found that out millenia later. You can't make good armor or weapons out of it because it's simultaneously too soft and too heavy. And sure its softness meant it could be easily made into coins but the same can be said of silver and copper. It wasn't difficult to obtain or require heavy machinery like oil or most coal deposits. It's just a shiny rock that we like, and because enough people for long enough agreed that this shiny rock is the BEST shiny rock (except the Chinese whose shiny rock was Jade but was too limited to make into a currency), no one really questioned why we backed our currency with gold, we simply did.

                we don't back currency on gold anymore because the value of gold was independent of external economic factors and was thus deemed less reliable. Say what you will about imaginary fiat currency, but it remains relatively stable because its supply is in direct response to market forces.

                it isn't, although in the 1800s it was a half-reasonable proxy for the rate of economic growth since most growth was in industry, and industrial improvements were the big factor in gold "inflation" (i.e. better mining equipment and techniques.)

                Lolno. The Spaniards managed to crash the plane with no survivors when they brought in all those thousands of tons of Aztec/Inca gold, and the Germans got a taste of that as well after the French flooded them with war reparations ahead of schedule. If anything, gold inflation has an even more destructive effect than fiat inflation.

                >why is gold valuable as a currency?
                For several very simple reasons. Gold is difficult to fake, it has a certain sheen to it, which most alloys that don't contain any gold don't have, you will recognize it when you see it. It is also very easy to verify whether something is or is not Gold. And because is so soft and malleable, it's easy to work and produce coinage and the likes and because it's heavy, it functions well in a system based on weighing things, because the larger the weight the smaller the error.
                Gold was also very easy to obtain, compared to other shiny rocks.

                It is also, to this day useless except for niche high conductivity applications, because usually copper and silver are good enough.

            Economists know. But you shouldn't trust them, because when they say something like "it'll be good for the economy" what they actually mean is "it'll be good for the economy when using metrics based on how much my employers benefit, but very bad if I were to use metrics based on how much the average peasant benefits." So they're typically right, but not necessarily with the meaning you think they have.

            When you hear an economist say something's good for the economy you should read that as "this will gouge the frick out of you filthy peasants and put more money in the hands of the ultra-rich."

      The US is taking on debt because it is unable to get money otherwise. If the US is unable to pay back its debts, that means that the US is completely out of money, and nobody would lend to them, as they are unable to pay back. US bonds are the most popular because they are seen as low-risk for debt default.

          Ignoring the question of who subsidizes who, I think this is a good illustration of how market power works.
          If one US healthcare provider refuses to buy Rinvoq at hostage-tier prices from AbbVie, customers who need/want it will swap provider - especially if AbbVie are advertising the drug on TV, which is something that's legal only in the US and in NZ. AbbVie has a monopoly on supply, while healhcare providers have to compete to buy it. In the UK, that doesn't happen because the NHS essentially has a monopoly on access to UK "customers", so the situation is reversed - the NHS has power over AbbVie, and if they want to sell more than a handful of doses of Rinvoq to the tiny number of people with private insurance, then they have to make an offer the NHS is prepared to accept. (And unlike most monopolies, the NHS can't just pay whatever AbbVie wants and pass it on to the customer - so they've got a big incentive to walk away from a bad price)

          If the US disappeared and £805 per 28 day supply wasn't enough to cover development costs when selling to Europe, prices would go up, but the idea that they'd go up to $6100 is very optimistic.

    High value asset protection is very impractical when the enemy has lots of stealth aircraft, detection ranges drop to shit meaning you need a lot more radars to cover the same ground. Interception with SAMs gets harder because the FCR effective range is reduced, meaning you have to lean harder on interceptor aircraft.

    Sensor fusion, passive radars etc. will of course augment the existing systems, but there is no magic bullet solution.

    >next gen VLO craft
    >heavy payload
    >based CONUS but still has range + standoff to threaten
    If purchased in relevant numbers (100-200) it effectively gives the U.S. the ability to deliver massed fires well outside Chinas A2AD and they can take off from bases in the middle of the US. The burgers can do this now of course but the B-2 is in short supply and the rest of the fleet is not stealthy (though the payload is higher and standoff weapons still apply). The B-2 fleet is already a capability not found anywhere else in the world as of right now, now imagine it cutting edge and potentially 5 to 8 times the size. They could effectively destroy all US forward areas in the pacific and sink a carrier or two and the US retains the ability to execute VLO standoff strikes with a much high sortie rate. Decent options to counter would be executing strikes on CONUS from cruise missiles fired from submarines or just IRBMs maybe. Submarines involve dealing with the US Navy on home turf and china is short on nuke subs with the required range and endurance for that since their whole set up its predicated on keeping the US away and playing defense.
    A nightmare scenario for china is 6th gen fighters in service with very very good range and speed as well as large fleet of B-21s. Having to deal with that capability that is significantly harder to suppress and defeat while also executing a blockade/amphibious assault is a tall order. I don't even think the US could pull it off without egregious losses. It's one of the reasons they're investing into the H-20. They need a way to counter that punch and the sub fleet they have isn't up to it.

      They got the old version at least https://thediplomat.com/2015/01/new-snowden-documents-reveal-chinese-behind-f-35-hack/

      >The Chinese hackers were also successful in obtaining data on the B-2 stealth bomber, the F-22 jet, space-based lasers, missile navigation and tracking systems, as well as nuclear submarine/anti-air missile designs.

      "data" can mean a lot of things, not many of which are actually useful for adversarial purposes

    To the main point of the article, B-21s cost ~$700 million. China isn't "HOPING" but rather their military thinktank analysis are reporting that US may not be able to afford it due to the high cost, similar to B-2 spirit low production units, which costs a staggering ~700+M in 1997 money (~$1.4 billion today). B-2 was produced when US economic was near its height relative to everyone else. Now the US military budget is early $900B with rising GDP percentage. Meanwhile, China's own military GDP percentage spending is shrinking or stable while the overall spending is rising dramatically due to reliance on catch up tech cost efficiencies(stealing r/d or just copying ideas that just work or tech transfers or buying em out and reverse engineering).

    So relatively speaking, US's high military budget, extremely high debt, RAPIDLY growing debt, internal economic sabatoge (covid shutdown), etc are looming over our heads.
