Interesting interview. Well, two interviews really. He really makes some solid points in the economic first-half. But then it turns geo-political.

As for China’s “belligerence”, bully’s (America) only take a step back when faced with power. That’s basic human nature.

Of course China is selling US Treasuries — they are simply dumping the “full faith and confidence” scam. It makes total sense to anyone who doesn’t whitewash America for its century of economic bullying.

China is the emerging power. It’s not asking the USA for its blessing before proceeding.

America threatens the world incessantly for a century and one is alarmed China is building up its military as America collapses under its own hubris?

America takes the lives of its men and women seriously? Operation Northwoods? 9/11? Leaving Vietnam and Afghanistan?

Kyle Bass seems delusional about his failing state. He thinks he lives in a democracy, but fails to appreciate that simply deteriorates into a propaganda psy-ops. I’ve not heard such a war-hawk outside of politics in quite some time. Not a word about peace. Or strength through honesty.

I sure the heck don’t want to live in China or under Xi, but America is run by its own globalist bankster authoritarians.

I know nothing about nor have I previously heard of Kyle Bass. After that emotional outbreak, I suspect he’s quite indoctrinated and ex-military.

Interesting interviews.
