I take your point. Putin is a very unique outlier - Russia is a pure kleptocracy with no real exports other than Kaspersky, weapons, and hydrocarbons. To bet on Russia is disturbingly simple - bet on oil.
And even that might be too late, plus mr Trump is doing a great job for Putin smothering Europe and China with tariffs.Let the kleptocracy go on, thanks mr Trump!
But to be honest, Putin is a very comfortable figure for the US, besides his ocasional bounces here and there(Ukrain, Syria, etc.)Fed makes trillions on russians, all production companies, from nails to spaceships, are foreign, pension age which just was rised yesterday greater than the life expectancy,the science is destroyed and the list go on ...Putin fooked everything up and is a traitor.Should be sued in Hague for henocide. So don`t call Trump traitor guys, Putin is on his leash actually.

nonsense,
I cant read that, but im nearly certain your mother wouldn't approve of it.
I do not understand this logic! " If china sell its US Treasury Holding that will crush the dollar?!" Am I missing something?

Yes - noticeable selling of US Treasuries would depress the dollar. If, for example, China unloaded $1.2T of US Treasuries it would seriously weaken the dollar and strengthen the Yuan. The cornerstone of Chinese Central Party Planning is to maintain through diligent active ongoing manipulation a weak-ish valuation of the Yuan in relation to the dollar.
Do you have any documentation to support your assertion? Because I would like to learn something new! What I understand is that, selling US treasury will increase treasury yields, which in turn strengthen the dollar and increases its value.

This is all speculative in nature. And I’ll be the first to admit that my own currency trading has been very limited to inter market spreads. I hope we never have to find out, but from what I have read the US Fed has several technical options for such a scenario - including the Fed buying every Treasury that China sold.
Theoretically the only scenario where China sells $1.2T in Treasuries and the dollar does not noticeably weaken would be if the Chinese kept the sales proceeds on hand in cash (US Dollars).
