Ah so other people are trading our debt around. But if we paid that off couldn’t they just trade with the USD that they received?

You’re telling me that if the American public woke up one day to find 100 or more dudes died in an unprovoked missile attack that they wouldn’t be outraged?

Can confirm. The US military follows host nation laws while over seas. That being said, they aren’t necessarily going out of their way to enforce those rules. The alcohol thing is common because people start acting stupid and cause a scene, but you should be fine to peg your boy as long as you keep the noise down.

The US has troops all over Europe. Especially in Germany and Poland. I can’t see this being an actual motivation because we haven’t heard anything about them pulling back.

Can you explain to me like I’m a five year old how paying off debt ruins the economy? I’ve heard it before but was never able to wrap my head around it
