I’m not sure Ron Paul is being entirely truthful about China accepting Monopoly Money all these years from the United States.

I think at some point they started demanding the ability to acquire vast holdings within the United States proper as collateral, therefore in the circumstances surrounding an economic collapse or major social upheaval within America China would have a legitimate argument on the world stage to deploy Chinese troops on American soil to protect their assets as it were.

Now if they could then facilitate and encourage said upheaval, well that’s just good business.
