>who wouldn't take US government debt at a 10% discount?
Better question, who wants to be the guy that goes, "I have a great idea. It'll really piss off those yanks. It'll just cost us about $100 billion (the price of like 7 Gerald Ford class carriers) along with the interest payments. A small price to pay to piss them off and have their private corps and allies buy their debt at a discount."
That's borderline a scenario like that comic meme at a board meeting for ideas and the dude gets thrown out the window.
