So what Besson is saying is, oh, no, no, no, we've got a tool.

I'll print the shit out of this money.

I'll devalue it.

It's gonna make the debt easier to pay back.

It's evil from where I'm sitting for reasons I've explained, but it is effective in terms of geopolitical wielding of weapon.

where it's like, oh, China, in a bit of a precarious situation are you?

Oh, it'd be a real shame if 20% of your current manufacturing came back to the US because we lowered our prices by driving the utility, not the utility, the value of the dollar down.

Hey, China, you know that game you've been playing for the last 30 years of devaluing the yuan and constantly being right on the edge of where

we consider an act of economic warfare, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, instead of coming after you with sanctions and some other bullshit, we're just gonna lower the value of our dollar.

And so now our shit is cheap and we're gonna flood the market, fuck you.

And so it's like, but now Americans are like, wait, I don't own assets, this is terrible for me.

So you get into that, but it's somewhat balanced out by if we're devaluing the dollar, manufacturing comes back to the US, then theoretically, you could start getting things cheaper here.

That one is not a guarantee, so I certainly wouldn't count on it, but it's like, that's one of the other plays.

But given how cheap China could make it, also just not tariffing the shit out of China would have the same effect.

So that one's a bit of a wash.

But that's the game that Besant, I think, is playing on an international stage.

He's like,

yeah, this might be bad for certain parts of the US economy, but it's great for other parts.

Brings back manufacturing, makes us more competitive on the global stage, allows us to hurt certain allies to help Japanese.
