At this point, the Americans are still making their payments and the majority of what they're paying is servicing their debt rather than biting into the principal... I expect China is perfectly happy taking the American's money.</p> I doubt China is interested in calling the US on their debt.

The Icelanders had to reinvent themselves. It’s just another story on adaptation to a new environment and a very bumpy ride. “Trust but Verify” was a phrase Ronald Reagan used with Gorbachev during Cold War negotiations at Reykjavik Iceland.

Having said that what happens when a country like the US goes bankrupt?  We’ve never seen that before.  What do they do?

I don’t know but here’s a thought.  They do as all people who are bankrupt do.  They declare and protected by bankruptcy law,  in five years they are back on their feet.

And who loses?

China (and many other false friends).

Watch for it.  It could happen.

Heres another one, what if China decided not to loan the states any more money? Could the states then go to someone like the International Monetary fund with (empty) cap in hand?
