This is why they used Ukraine to fight Russia, hoping to split Russia in the end and take control of Russia's vast resources. To be able to pay off their debts.

Russia has over $75 trillion worth of untapped resources. Excluding the ones in the newly liberated territories in Ukraine.

And untop of all that, only $280 billion debt. The lowest among white nations. Even lower than some African nations.

This your US vs Russia rants have become stale.

For it to be sent to Israel as usual? What a joke!

A country that wants to rule the world. They don't have numerous foreign military bases for nothing. Same country is instigating chaos everywhere to maintain its hegemony with the use of the CIA and other elements.

All about containing their rivals and impeding development. A policy of containment. Nigeria is wasting its time depending on the U.S. The last thing that country wants is our progress.

As if you can substantiate your baseless claims. It is obvious that he is giving you guys sleepless nights.

Fulfill the campaign promises you made to Nigerians and leave Amaechi alone.

If the job can't be done, Nigerians will select someone capable in 2027.

Bill Gate could have donated all his wealth to save America (if he really had any good mind lo) and lessen its debts, Elon Musk a patriot can also donate, this is the time for the patriot to lead by example. There are many billionaires in America. Why are they asking ordinary citizens.

China too is owing trillion but not as humongous as that of USA.

In 2025, China's new government debt is projected to reach 11.86 trillion yuan, which is equivalent to roughly $1.66 trillion USD. This represents a 2.9 trillion yuan increase compared to the previous year, allowing for increased fiscal spending. Furthermore, China's external debt, including both domestic and foreign currency-denominated debt, is reported to be 17.5967 trillion yuan (approximately $2.4514 trillion USD) at the end of March 2025

Are you surprised that China is owing that much? Something is definitely driving that company and the debt is justified. They have done so much in last 2 decades.

Now translate that to the US. Mention one thing they have done in last 2 decades that justifies the debt. You will search for it.

All that GDP bla bla bla na cover up.

Only exists on a computer screen. It's the same way they valuate their companies and corporations. Just one comment from an influential person can wipe off billions from a company's worth.

Does that appear real to you?

Interesting perspective from the handle WriterNig. But a little research would have gone a long way in educating readers with facts.

See, the U.S. is like a very rich person with a giant credit card bill ($36 trillion). Instead of paying it off, it just keeps paying interest - about $75 billion/month - using tax money and borrowing more. Simple.

As long as their people (Citizens) trust their own Treasury (which they all do), this cycle keeps spinning. But the main trouble is the higher the interest rate, the more expensive it becomes to keep it going. U.S is essentially making interest payments to keep their country going. They can only do that because they have solid institutions that will continue to run sef if Governor or President no dey.

You cannot say that about Nigeria as an example. Even if they say to us that they are servicing our debt, they cannot explain how. We simply do not have a system. We are also not making plans for any. Our people want the best, but not ready to pay taxes.

See in the U.S, their Treasury collects taxes (income taxes, payroll taxes) - everyone MUST pay. Businesses pay taxes and also get incentives from Government to establish / develop. Now, if all Taxes collected is not enough, they issue bonds to cover the interest on old debts. Debt servicing 101 - just keep up with the interest, while not reducing the total balance.

Meanwhile, you may want to ask - who gets the money? right? well, U.S Citizens and institutions (those who buy Treasury bonds), foreign governments (Japan, China etc), and maybe their own Federal reserve sef.

All these is possible because they apply econometrics principles. They also believe in it - Economics+Statistics+ Data "the math and statistics behind economic decision-making".

Sadly, Naija does not - so now you see how it can be very challenging for Nigeria to raise hands - the people we vote into power do not have the capacity to discuss all these, but they will rather borrow more and more without any plan of paying it back nor servicing. Nigerian public office people will borrow money from a foreign country and end up using it to buy official cars huh

to drive on a road they refused to construct.
Governor will be fighting for security votes or whatever it is called. Clamor for wardrobe allowance (like seriously). Unreasonable amount o. The discussion is huge sha!

I think this is why Trump wanted the US to stop being Father Christmas to the nations and forming big brother.

See how you laugh at their plight when over the years they have literally being a responsive state to the nations.

A real story to learn here-- focus on building your house.

Trump just came into power and hasn't spent a year yet before you claim he caused acquired the debt.
