$8.9T Debt Matures: Germany & France Rebel, Japan & Korea Out of Control

The year 2024 is destined to be recorded in history, and many people have not yet realized that this year is likely to be a significant turning point in human history.

How significant is the historical turning point in the unprecedented changes of the century? Let's briefly review the various changes in the world this year, and you will realize that the new era may come faster than we think. How long can American hegemony last?

The situation this year has already shown that the powerful United States is facing an unprecedentedly severe situation of "everyone pushing when the wall falls."

This includes both internal problems in the United States and huge challenges worldwide. It is not an exaggeration to say "internal and external troubles."

The biggest problem in the United States, of course, is U.S. debt and its associated dollar crisis.

According to reports, Apollo Global Management's Chief Economist Torsten Slok said in an interview with the U.S. media that in 2024, the United States will have as much as $8.9 trillion in U.S. debt maturing.

Before this, several institutions have predicted that the interest payment scale of U.S. debt in 2024 will reach an astonishing scale of $1.2 trillion. The sum of the above two means that the U.S. federal government owes more than $10 trillion in debt to be repaid at the beginning of this year.

Now a huge cloud has come, will the United States default? If they don't default, what will they use to repay?

In addition, the current annual fiscal revenue of the United States is only about $5 trillion, and they will also generate new huge fiscal deficits every year, such as a fiscal deficit of $1.7 trillion in 2023.

To make matters worse, due to the continuous sale of U.S. debt, the proportion of U.S. debt held by foreign investors has dropped to about 21%.Over $10 trillion in old debt, coupled with over $1 trillion in new deficits. This means that out of this year's approximately $12 trillion in U.S. national debt, nearly $10 trillion will have to be taken up by domestic investors.

This is what happens when debt becomes too much to bear, and it starts to consume itself. One might wonder, if the American capitalists are being cut too deeply, will they rebel?

The figure mentioned above represents the nearly $12 trillion fiscal black hole of the U.S. federal government.

Isn't this a bankrupt U.S. government? Year after year, it lives on borrowed money, engages in aggressive militarism, plunders everywhere, and suppresses others, and now the consequences are coming.

Financial bankruptcy is not the most severe issue; ideological bankruptcy is the most terrifying.

The recent student movements, along with that so-called anti-anti-Semitic consciousness bill, and so on, are all proving that the image of American democracy and freedom as a beacon and the high ground of justice are collapsing, which means they have lost the support of the people.

Having only power and violence but losing the support of the people, what does this mean? It's just like the tyrannical Qin dynasty, which fell after two generations, with the empire going from unprecedented strength to sudden collapse in just a few years.

The situation within the United States is very serious, and the external situation is even worse.

Not long ago, we said that two and a half of the United States' Five Eyes Alliance have already fallen. Australia and New Zealand have fully turned to the East economically, and they only occasionally maintain the Americans' face in military matters.

Canada was particularly active last year, following closely behind the Americans, but this year it has also disappeared. However, Canada is like a weathercock, occasionally causing us discomfort, and can only be considered half of the alliance.Americans are using the Russia-Ukraine conflict to敲打 Europe, unite NATO, and indeed have made Europe more fragmented, but they have also thoroughly awakened Germany and France, which are now not far from open betrayal.

Japan and South Korea, seeing the situation is not good, although they dare not openly betray, have started to frequently straddle two boats.

For example, the recent finance ministers and central bank governors meeting of China, Japan, and South Korea, as well as the China-Japan-Korea business summit and leaders' meeting to be held at the end of the month, are all important meetings that have not been held for many years.

In addition, from Saudi Prince and Prime Minister Salman to Slovakian Prime Minister Fico, and then to Iranian President Raisi, political figures are frequently assassinated.

This is very similar to Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin. Faced with the strong pressure of the opponent, they can only use assassination as the last struggle.

At the same time, the United States has lost its dominance in the Middle East, which has lost the foundation of the petrodollar, coupled with the US debt crisis, the US dollar is in danger under internal and external attacks, which is the most important foundation for the empire to rule the world.

Many of these things are closely related to the two wars in Russia-Ukraine and the Middle East. The power of the United States can no longer support a large scene, but it initiates wars according to the old routine, trying to forcibly prolong its life. Isn't this looking for death?

Therefore, the US debt and dollar crisis, the Five Eyes Alliance's disintegration, the betrayal of Germany and France, the loss of control of Japan and South Korea, the United States' global encirclement and suppression of China has basically failed, and the collapse of the entire system is not far away.

Now, Americans are very anxious. The more anxious they are, the more crazy they will be.

A series of incomprehensible crazy behaviors of Americans are enough to prove their panic and madness, which is a typical "end of empire syndrome".This is akin to the tyrannical Qin dynasty in history. Starting from the year 2024 and counting forward, it is feared that the United States' hegemony may also collapse dramatically within the span of 15 years.
