Distrust to the US government from the international world is more serious than the American civilians imagine. I am from Japan, so I can exhibit some of the Japanese examples.
Very sorry to say this, but the 800+ tons of Japanese gold bullion that are supposed to be held by the United States have likely been stolen by the U.S. government. This is probably why Elon Musk stopped the audit of Fort Knox and why Trump left the matter unresolved.
Even in private precious metals trading, only ETFs that store gold within Japan (such as the "Fruits of Gold" series 金の果実シリーズ) are popular. Not COMEX or LBMA.
While the Japanese government encourages citizens to invest in the S&P 500 and U.S. stocks through the NISA system, those with wisdom choose to buy Japanese stocks (if stocks are the only option).
Americans focus heavily on Treasury bonds issues, but what the U.S. owes to Japan, the biggest creditor, is not on such a "small" scale. Furthermore, while Chinese influencers frequently emphasize Japan's national debt, Japan could pay it off immediately by selling just a "tiny fraction" of its claims and assets against the United States.
It's a serious drag that Japan keeps getting dragged into America's debt caused by overspending. But individual politicians who speak up get taken out, like Nakagawa Shoichi or Hashimoto Ryutaro, so we can't.
If the country as a whole stands up to the U.S. as a matter of national policy, we get hit with economic sanctions and end up collapsing like Venezuela. This is not the worst.
If you keep resisting, you get painted as the villain and pushed into a war that destroys the land.
Bernie Sanders claims that the "top 1%" are oppressing the people. In reality, however, the United States as a whole—including its ordinary citizens—has been invading and exploiting the rest of the world. This disconnect between internal and external perceptions is a phenomenon that historically always appears during the decline of an empire, so we should be very cautious.
Because of the globalism, it's not only the American citizens but all of you that must be affected by the devastating USD collapse. So, buy gold and silver to maintain your wealth. This is only the promising way for thousands of years to survive.
May god bless you.
