I finally went to AI (Grok) and asked.....who is the dimwit who advises the EU to sell-off or dump US Treasury Bonds.
Groke spent 3 minutes assessing this, and finally said: "As for who's giving the advice: The reports trace it back to internal assessments from an unnamed European intelligence agency, which shared details with outlets like the Wall Street Journal about potential "commercial and economic plans" as countermeasures".
So...WSJ had someone who claimed to be a European Intelligence Agency. BS-factor? Well....any idiot could claim such a status, and connect back to Russia, or some financial group with an agenda.
I sat there for a while...contemplating this 'nuke-option'. I can't think of a single banker, financial professor, or economics wiz....who would advocate such 'behavior'.
It does sound like some bullshit that a Biden-insider, Ukrainian bureaucrat or Russian FSB-agent would say.
If a EU bureaucrat brought this up with a banker? I would imagine the first reaction would be 'are you crazy'.
So I asked AI (Grok) to identify all elements of the EU who hold US treasury bonds. Yeah, that took around 10 minutes.
Grok said: The ECB holds some, but it's another 14-odd countries who admit ownership, and you'd have to convince of each individual country to do something stupid.
Then Grok add....there's another dozen countries in the EU....who don't openly share their ownership of treasury bonds (Poland is one of them).
For this BS-idea of nuke-selling....you'd have to go each country and convince them to be seriously stupid (in the case of the UK, it might be simple/easy)....but for 20-odd EU members....they won't sell at a loss.
On my BS-meter....this simply makes no sense.
