As to the debt: that is leverage for "war by other means" ...

Many people are happy that the bill is still not hung up in the usual bickering and all of that "continuing resolution" stuff. I'd bet a ten spot on the President signing it.

I've feared for a long time that all the Chinese needed to do was tell Washington that - if we didn't go along with what they wanted - they'd start selling their USA debt at pennies on the dollar. Net result, the US would be unable to borrow to support our deficit addiction and the USA would be forced into bankruptcy...

One of the better reasons for supporting Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign is because it promises to remove our dependence on unreliable suppliers (which, admittedly, it may not succeed in doing).
Once the generals show Trump the big book of world secrets you can rest assured that very little will change. But Trump does regard Europe as weak and progressively overrun by immigrants, and therefore increasingly unstable - a situation he is determined to prevent in the US.
But he will be re-educated, just watch his policy statements begin to reverse.

The latest purge of officers form their NATO positions, by the Turkish government, is not a comforting development. It is another morsel on the plate to feed Mr Trump's distrust of the status quo. How to the heads of state of the other NATO allies see that (absent the Greeks, who would have told anyone who'd listen that the real enemy is the Turk ...)
