The bomb in the US will "explode" in 8-9 years. Russia is getting ready
There is no silver lining. Many tend to scold the Russian authorities for investing huge amounts of money in the American the economy, instead of his own, buying US Treasury bonds. For example, at the end of the "obese" two thousandths, the volume of investments in American securities amounted to 176,3 billion dollars. However, after the deterioration of relations with Western countries and the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions by them, investment in the economy of a political opponent gradually decreased.
As of March 2018, Russia owned $ 96,1 billion of public debt from the United States of America. In April, Washington introduced the most stringent restrictive measures against a number of Russian individuals and legal entities, including oligarchs Oleg Deripaska and Viktor Vekselberg close to the Kremlin. It also became known that a bill was initiated in the US Congress introducing a six-month moratorium on US residents for any operations with Russian government debt, as well as imposing new sanctions against the seven largest banks in Russia.
President Donald Trump, in turn, has postponed the introduction of restrictive measures against government bonds of the Russian Federation. But, apparently, these actions of the "American partners" were the last straw. Russia halved its investment in US government debt, dropping it from 96,1 to 48,7 billion. Thanks to this, our country has entered the top 20 holders of US Treasury securities, being in 22nd place. The first places are still China and Japan. It became known that the Bank of Russia immediately transferred 1,3 billion to other assets.
Of course, in this way, the Kremlin is not able to bring down the American economy. However, the United States itself defaults.
Congressman Andy Biggs bluntly says that a “debt bomb” has been planted under the US, which could explode in 8–9 years:
The parliamentarian from the Republican Party indicates that the United States has a structural deficit: they spend more than they receive, and therefore are forced to borrow enormous funds in foreign markets. For example, a direct competitor in the person of the Celestial Empire owns bonds worth $ 1,2 trillion, Japan has also invested more than a trillion in the US public debt, Great Britain - 262 billion, and Brazil - 294. Given how President Donald Trump spoils relations with the whole world and in the absence of structural reforms in the American economy in the long term, the “debt bomb” can really painfully explode, for which subsequent generations of Americans will pay.

Yes. I think we're moving to the abyss
