MARCH 21st, 2024~ US tests hypersonic missile in Pacific as it aims to keep up with China and Russia

US tests hypersonic missile in Pacific as it aims to keep up with China and Russia CNN

CNN —
The US Air Force has tested a hypersonic cruise missile in the Pacific for the first time, in what analysts say is a signal to China that Washington still competes in a weapons arena where many perceive Beijing to have a distinct advantage.
On March 17, a B-52 bomber flying out of Andersen Air Force Base on the island of Guam fired “a full prototype operational hypersonic missile,” an Air Force spokesperson confirmed in a statement to CNN.
The test of the hypersonic weapon, officially called the All-Up-Round AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW), was conducted at the Reagan Test Site on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, almost 1,600 miles (2,600 kilometers) to the east of Guam, the statement said.
Previous ARRW tests have been conducted off the US mainland.
The ARRW consists of a rocket booster motor and the hypersonic glide vehicle, which carries a conventional warhead.
It is “intended to attack high-value, time-sensitive, land-based targets,” a 2021 Defense Department document says.
Hypersonic glide vehicles travel at speeds greater than Mach 5, or approximately 4,000 miles per hour, making them difficult to detect and intercept in time. They can also maneuver and vary altitude, allowing them to evade current missile defense systems.
US officials have previously acknowledged that China and Russia have pulled ahead in the development of hypersonics.
China has been testing hypersonic glide vehicles that can carry both nuclear and conventional warheads since 2014, according to the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, a non-partisan lobbying group.
A US Air Force general said in 2021 that China had tested a hypersonic glide vehicle weapon that “went around the world,” while Russia fired a Zircon hypersonic cruise missile against Ukraine earlier this year, according to a Ukrainian government agency.
North Korea also claims to be developing hypersonic weapons. The state-run Korean Central News Agency said Wednesday that leader Kim Jong Un watched the test of a new engine for an intermediate-range hypersonic weapon on Tuesday.
Speculation that the US would test a hypersonic missile in the Pacific emerged in late February, when a B-52 carrying the weapon arrived on Guam for what a news release called “hypersonic weapon familiarization training.”
Analysts said before the test that its presence was intended to be seen in Beijing.
“This test is intended to send a clear message to Beijing, namely that Washington remains steadfast in reinforcing its strategic posture in the Pacific, even amidst competing global challenges,” said Craig Singleton, senior China fellow at the nonpartisan Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
“Of course, one US test won’t shift China’s hypersonic trajectory, nor will it resolve serious concerns regarding China’s perceived hypersonic edge,” Singleton said.
“But, it reaffirms that the US is not just an observer in the hypersonic domain, it’s a formidable player, and one committed to matching pace with China and Russia.”
The Air Force did not give any specifics on the test, such as how fast or how far the ARRW flew or whether it hit a target.
Rather, it said only that lessons were learned.
“The Air Force gained valuable insights into the capabilities of this new, cutting-edge technology,” the statement said.
It added that the trial “improved our test and evaluation capabilities for continued development of advanced hypersonic systems.” But the future for the ARRW model is uncertain, with Sunday’s test expected to be its last.
Last March, Air Force leaders told a congressional hearing that there were no plans to procure ARRWs for combat use.
The Air Force requested $150 million for ARRWs in fiscal year 2024; however, the National Defense Authorization Act did not authorize any funding for the program, according to a February report from the Congressional Research Service.
But Singleton said it may be too early to write off the ARRW.
“Signs suggest the Defense Department may be reconsidering its stance on the ARRW program, hinting at a potential revival in light of China and Russia’s hypersonic strides,” he said.
Air Force Lt. Gen. Dale White told the House Armed Service Committee last week that “future ARRW production decisions ‘are pending final analysis of all flight test data,’” according to a report in from Air and Space Forces magazine.
The last tests of the ARRW occurred in August and October of 2023, but the Air Force gave few details of what was accomplished. The first successful test of the system occurred in December 2022.

MARCH 19th , 2024 ~ Navy requesting big boost in funding for HALO air-launched ‘hypersonic’ missile

The service is requesting much more money for its Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare Weapon Increment II compared to previous projections.

The Navy is planning for much higher investments in its Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) Weapon Increment II program in the coming years compared to previous projections, according to newly released budget justification documents.
The next-generation missile, also known as the hypersonic air-launched OASuW (HALO), is intended to be carried by aircraft carrier-based fighter jets such as the Super Hornet with the capability of sinking enemy ships.
The technology will include “a carrier-suitable, higher-speed, longer-range, air-launched weapon system providing superior Anti-Surface Warfare capabilities” that will “address advanced threats from engagement distances that allow the Navy to operate in, and control, contested battle space in littoral waters and Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environments,” per the new budget justification books.
Although the name of the weapon suggests it will be hypersonic, it might not actually cross that threshold and meet the traditional definition of that term with regard to velocity, according to the Navy’s program executive officer for unmanned aviation and strike weapons.
“From a speed perspective, the hypersonics is a little bit of a misnomer [for HALO]. We’re not actually that concerned about Mach 5. It’s about distance and time — can I close the range that we want as quickly as possible … It’s going to be probably in the high Mach 4-plus category as far as its peak speed. But we’re really focused on, can I close distance at speed, potentially, to the point where [in-flight target update] is not required,” Rear Adm. Stephen Tedford said during a briefing at last year’s Sea-Air-Space conference hosted by the Navy League.
The service is requesting $179 million in fiscal 2025 for research, development, test and evaluation funding for the project — much more than the $99 million that previous budget plans anticipated.
The Navy is also planning to spend $197 million in fiscal 2026, $177 million in 2027, $167 million in 2028 and $147 million in 2029 on RDT&E for the initiative.
By comparison, spending projections released last year anticipated $83 million in 2026, $85 million in 2027 and $86 million in 2028 for RDT&E of HALO. Funding projections for fiscal 2029 were not included in the budget justification documents released last year because they fell outside the five-year planning period covered by those books.
In order to counter evolving “near-peer” threats, HALO has been “accelerated” to achieve early operational capability in fiscal 2029, according to the new justification documents. The Navy requested $96 million for the program in fiscal 2024. The increase proposed for 2025 would support a transition from a middle-tier acquisition program to a major capability acquisition effort at Milestone B.
“This transition will allow for Early Operational Capability (EOC) in FY 2029,” per the justification books.
Naval Air Systems Command previously awarded two contracts to Raytheon Missiles and Defense and Lockheed Martin in 2023, with a total value of $116 million, for initial development work on the HALO technology.
An engineering and manufacturing development contract is scheduled to be awarded in fiscal 2025, according to the justification documents. Subsystem critical design reviews, the process of acquiring long lead material, and qualification test events are also expected to begin.
A Milestone C production decision is expected in fiscal 2027.
The new budget justification books include a line item that appears to indicate planned procurement funding for HALO beginning in fiscal 2027. Projected funding under that line item includes $59 million in 2027, $98 million in 2028 and $157 million in 2029.

Introduction

In the evolving landscape of global defense, the arms race has metamorphosed from a contest of nuclear might to one of unparalleled speed. Hypersonic weapons (capable of exceeding five times the speed of sound), promise to revolutionize modern warfare.
China's strides in the hypersonic field are a manifestation of its broader strategic intentions and underscore its drive toward technological and military preeminence. This journey toward mastering hypersonic technology is not merely for show; it is about redefining the global balance of military power.
A successful deployment of these weapons would enable China to redefine the term “first-strike advantage.” Such a capability is not merely about striking first; it is about striking in a manner that leaves the opponent minimal time or capacity to react, effectively nullifying their defensive postures. This introduces a dangerous paradigm wherein the traditional cushion of time provided by early warning systems is drastically reduced. For the United States, this might mean that even with the world's most advanced detection systems, the window to act could be so minimal that it might be rendered ineffective. As the United States and China jostle for dominance in this arena, the strategic significance of an elemental material, niobium, emerges as a pivotal concern, and with it, China’s rising dominance in the Western Hemisphere’s mining sector.

Niobium: The Aerospace Marvel

Vacuum-grade niobium’s role in aerospace is not a newfound revelation. Its unparalleled resilience against extreme thermal stresses, withstanding temperatures over 2,400 degrees Celsius, renders it indispensable for critical components in hypersonic vehicles. Beyond its inherent properties, niobium’s pivotal role lies in its use for crafting heat-resistant superalloys essential for hypersonic missiles and the broader aerospace sector. Its low density compared to other refractory metals contributes to a high strength-to-weight ratio, which is essential for reducing the weight of aerospace components. This reduction in weight directly impacts fuel efficiency and payload capacity, two critical factors in aerospace design. For example, companies like SpaceX and Hermeus depend on niobium C103 for their spacecrafts, which require extremely high temperatures that surpass that of other superalloys.
For decades, niobium has played a pivotal role in the U.S. aerospace industry, with its notable use in the innovative designs of the iconic Gemini and Apollo programs of the 1960s and 70s. However, despite its significance, the United States depends entirely on niobium imports, with no substantial domestic mining since 1959. This reliance introduces a severe risk to its supply chain. Of the estimated 8,800 metric tons imported annually in 2022, a significant majority comes from Brazil (66 percent) and Canada (25 percent). This heavy reliance on just two primary sources—both neighbors of the United States in the Western Hemisphere—exposes the United States to considerable national security and economic vulnerabilities. The situation becomes even more precarious considering China’s dominant position in the niobium sector and its growing footprint in the hemisphere.
China’s Stake in Brazil’s Mineral Monopoly
Brazil dominated global niobium production in 2020, accounting for over 91 percent of production. With reserves estimated at 842 million metric tons, Brazil produces roughly 120,000 metric tons annually. Brazil’s high production comes from large mines such as Araxá and Catalão, with Companhia Brasileira de Metalurgia e Mineração (CBMM) controlling 75 percent of Brazil’s output.
China has recognized the potential of niobium for over a decade. In 2011, a consortium of five Chinese companies acquired a 15 percent stake in CBMM. This engagement intensified in 2016 when China Molybdenum Co. Ltd. (now known only as CMOC) secured ownership of the Chapadão and Boa Vista mines, further strengthening China's position in the niobium market.
The importance of niobium was further highlighted in the Brazilian political arena in 2018. Then presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro emphasized niobium's role in Brazil's “economic independence.” Despite Bolsonaro's campaign rhetoric focusing on safeguarding this critical commodity from foreign control and advocating for its national governance, Chinese influence in the Brazilian niobium sector continued to grow. By 2020, Chinese entities controlled approximately 26 percent of Brazil's niobium production. This control not only ensures China's preferential access and influence over pricing dynamics in the niobium supply chain, but also positions it advantageously in a global context.
China managed to maintain and even strengthen its position at the subnational level under Bolsonaro. CMOC for instance provided $1.2 million in Covid-19 aid to the city of Catalão, demonstrating China's strategic engagement beyond mere commercial interests.
China’s influence over Brazil’s niobium production conforms to a pattern of growing ownership and sway over the regional mining industry, a trend with substantial environmental, political, and security implications. Such tactics could force nations into making diplomatic compromises, ceding trade advantages, or grappling with economic dilemmas, thereby solidifying China's geopolitical standing. The United States is not immune to this exposure; in 2022 the U.S. Geological Survey identified niobium as the second most critical of 50 minerals, falling behind only gallium in its criticality to U.S. national security and economic growth.

Defense Implications

China's hypersonic resolve has been remarkable. By 2018, it had conducted over 20 times as many tests as the United States. According to the Pentagon, the United States is still lagging. This hypersonic prowess, combined with China's stranglehold on niobium, places the United States in a perilous position.
The strategic importance of niobium in next-generation defense systems cannot be overstated. As the U.S. military and its defense contractors increasingly rely on niobium-based superalloys to produce a wide range of equipment, from aircraft components to hypersonic missile systems, any disruption in the niobium supply chain could have significant repercussions.
Overall, China's growing influence and control over critical mineral supply chains poses a distinct challenge. Under the Biden administration, the United States and the European Union placed export controls and restrictions on strategic and critical minerals to curb China’s dominance in artificial intelligence and semiconductors. In retaliation, China imposed their own limitations on gallium, germanium, and graphite throughout 2023. A recent analysis by CSIS highlighted that China controls 90 percent of global gallium supplies, 90 percent of graphite, and 60 percent of germanium, all critical to the production of chips and electric vehicle batteries. The critical mineral supply chain has arrived at the forefront of strategic competition between the West and the People’s Republic of China.
China’s grip on the production, distribution, and pricing of niobium presents another layer of complexity: manipulating niobium’s availability to other nations. For the United States, already grappling with the challenges of overdependence on external sources for critical minerals, such a disruption could translate into significant production delays. The consequences could be serious: slower production of critical defense equipment, increased costs due to the potential need for alternative materials, and a cascading effect on existing machinery's maintenance and upgrade cycles. In this highly complex environment where timely responses to emerging threats are vital, these delays could hinder the United States' ability to promptly deploy or develop necessary defense systems.

U.S. Countermeasures

Facing such formidable challenges, the United States cannot afford to remain a passive observer. Safeguarding its strategic interests and maintaining its global position demands a comprehensive and multifaceted critical mineral strategy, particularly in securing niobium supplies.

Including Brazil in the MSP

Incorporating Brazil into the 13-nation Mineral Security Partnership (MSP) could significantly fortify the global niobium supply chain. The MSP represents a concerted multinational endeavor to develop environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards and bolster investments in critical mineral supply chains, an initiative that aligns well with the strategic interests of both Brazil and the broader international community. Brazil’s inclusion would make it the first Latin American country to enter the partnership, signaling its regional leadership and increase in international stature. The integration of Brazil into this partnership is particularly strategic, considering its substantial niobium reserves, in addition to its other critical mineral deposits. This move would add a robust layer of security against potential supply disruptions.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's administration, with its strong emphasis on ESG standards, is likely to find the MSP's principles congruent with its policy priorities. The MSP’s emphasis on elevating global standards in these areas could resonate with Lula’s progressive agenda, potentially making Brazil’s participation both beneficial and attractive.
Furthermore, Brazil's inclusion in the MSP would facilitate its adherence to a framework that advocates for the diversification and stabilization of mineral supply chains. This alignment could be instrumental in mitigating China’s dominant influence in the niobium market. By joining the MSP, Brazil would not only assert its role in the global mineral economy but also contribute to a more balanced and less vulnerable critical mineral supply landscape, including niobium.

Diversification of Niobium Sources

Diversifying niobium sources is a critical strategic concern. The current overreliance on a limited number of suppliers presents a significant vulnerability in the supply chain. This is not merely a matter of economic convenience but a pressing national security issue. The Elk Creek project in Nebraska represents a commendable step toward addressing this vulnerability domestically. This initiative exemplifies how investment in local resources can contribute to a more resilient supply chain. Placing more emphasis on domestic production, the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act calls for domestic manufacturing of critical minerals, and “encourages DOD to review the need to utilize Defense Production Act authorities to establish domestic processing capacity of niobium, tantalum, and scandium.”

However, to comprehensively mitigate the risks associated with niobium supply, the United States should extend its strategy beyond domestic projects. Engaging in international partnerships, especially with Canadian, African, and European nations that have niobium reserves, is crucial.

Canada’s significant niobium reserves stands as an ideal partner to strengthen North American supply security. The geographical proximity of Canada to the United States offers logistical advantages, reducing transportation costs and environmental impact. Additionally, the strong political and economic ties between the United States and Canada could facilitate smoother bilateral agreements and joint ventures in niobium exploration and development.

Africa’s rich mineral resources, and Europe’s advanced mining technologies and regulatory frameworks, offer promising avenues for collaboration. These partnerships could lead to the exploration and development of new niobium sources, thus diversifying the global supply chain.

Stockpiling and Strategic Reserves

The practice of stockpiling and maintaining strategic reserves of strategic minerals serves as a crucial safeguard during times of geopolitical unrest or supply chain interruptions. Experts suggest that with its existing reserves of critical minerals, the United States may face challenges in sustaining a protracted conflict with China. The National Defense Stockpile (NDS), designed to support the nation's needs for up to four years, is perceived by some as insufficient for the United States to execute its strategic military objectives effectively. Proactive measures to accumulate substantial reserves of niobium and other strategic minerals are imperative. While in fiscal years 2022 and 2023 Congress appropriated $218.5 million for total NDS acquisitions, it remains at an unsatisfactory level to support the nation’s needs. Congress should place more effort in supporting the NDS in the future. Strategic stockpiling must be revitalized to Cold War-era levels so that the United States maintains its capability to meet both economic and defense production demands, even under challenging global scenarios.

Conclusion

In the grand chessboard of defense geopolitics, niobium has emerged as a piece of paramount importance. The intertwining of mineral control and technological advancements underscores the multifaceted nature of modern security threats. For the United States, addressing this dual challenge is not just about catching up in the hypersonic race or diversifying niobium sources, but about reimagining its strategic approach in a complex global landscape—one where the Western Hemisphere takes center stage. Recognizing and mitigating these vulnerabilities will be crucial in ensuring U.S. national security in the face of strategic competition. The stakes are high, and the game is evolving; proactive measures today will dictate the balance of power tomorrow.

Mine-to-Magnet Workshop (ndia.org)

https://preview.redd.it/5w96xo1ql2qc1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=2fc3541770df4022b7f10dc17b4cf44db44a84bd
The Defense Industrial Base (DIB) supply chains for rare earth element (REE) magnets are in a transition phase. Supported by U.S. and partner nations, new sources of supply from raw materials to magnets are being developed around the globe. By statute, effective January 1, 2026, restrictions on REE magnets will follow the supply chain to the mining tier. Additionally, as early as June 2025, suppliers may be required to provide the full provenance of all REE magnets.
This day and a half workshop will gather stakeholders from across the supply chain and U.S. Government to discuss challenges and opportunities in this critical supply chain. A partnership between Government and companies within the DIB is required to accomplish changes in REE supply chains. The provenance requirements for REE magnets will be a significant challenge, and new technologies and new approaches to organizing the market will be required to accomplish this requirement. The Workshop will focus on the following topics and questions:

• What actions is the U.S. Government taking to incentivize new sources of supply throughout the supply chain?
• What tiers of the supply chain are highest risk for not being fully established prior to the sourcing restriction implementation deadline?
• What solutions would enable supply chain provenance to the mining level, and can these solutions be implemented by the June 23rd, 2025 provenance target date?
• What is the status of Government and Industry efforts to develop substitute magnets and new technologies?
• What additional support does the nascent U.S. and friendly nation rare earth element industry need to grow and thrive in the long-term?

Additional InformationRecently proposed Defense Acquisition Regulation Supplemental (DFARS) sourcing requirements (DFARS Case 2021-D015) have set a deadline of January 1st, 2026 for the entire DIB REE magnet supply chains, from mining to magnet production, to be produced outside of the covered countries of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), the Russian Federation, the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Additionally, Section 857 of James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23 NDAA) (Public Law 117-263, signed December 23, 2022) contains provisions requiring disclosure by defense contractors of the sources of supply for rare earth elements (REE) and strategic and critical materials (SCM) within permanent magnets used in defense systems. These provenance sourcing requirements will go into effect as early as June 23, 2025. As the Department of Defense**[1], Department of Commerce[2], and Department of Energy[3]** and other government agencies have previously written, the PRC is the dominate global producer for all-tiers off the REE magnet supply chain. Therefore, the DIB migrating to REE supply chains entirely separate from the PRC is less than straightforward.

Jaman sekarang, kenapa agama seseorang selalu ditanyakan kalo mengisi data buat dokumen pemerintah? Apa perlunya negara tahu agama seseorang itu apa? I’m looking for a fair justification because I can’t think of anything. Mungkin buat survey doang? Statistik?

Jerome Powell says: this enormous debt should not be passed on to future generations!!
https://www.businessinsider.com/federal-reserve-powell-government-spending-national-debt-fiscal-deficit-interest-2024-2?r=US&IR=T
The lack of these constraints which do not exist in the American economy have meant that Americans are in debt from 19/20 trillion in 2020 to 34 in 2024.
“America is accumulating dangerous amounts of debt due to its excessive spending, and future generations will likely suffer the consequences, said Jerome Powell. “The U.S. federal government has been on an unsustainable fiscal path,” the Federal Reserve chairman said in an interview broadcast on “60 Minutes” on Sunday. “Debt is growing faster than the economy.” Fiscal deficits in the past four years alone have totaled about $9 trillion, which has helped more than triple the national debt to a record $34 trillion over the past two decades, Treasury data show. The pandemic has pushed federal authorities to spend heavily to stimulate the economy, but a prudent budget is now urgently needed, Powell said. “It's probably time, or even past, to return to an adult conversation among elected officials about how to get the federal government back on a sustainable fiscal path,” he said. The central bank chief expressed deep concern that today's irresponsible spending could hurt Americans across the board. "We're borrowing from future generations," he said. “Every generation should really pay for the things they need,” he continued, instead of borrowing and burdening their offspring with interest expenses and the burden of repayment. “He should really pay for these things and not hand the bills over to our children and grandchildren.” As Fed chair since 2018, Powell has played a key role in America's economic fortunes. Inflation rose to its highest level in 40 years, exceeding 9% by mid-2022, and the Fed responded by raising interest rates from near zero to above 5% by last summer to curb demand and slow down price growth. Rate hikes have helped reduce inflation below 4% in recent months, unemployment has remained near record lows and the economy has defied recession fears with growth above 3% last year. Although inflation remains well above the Fed's 2% target, Powell and his colleagues have forecast three rate cuts this year. Soaring interest costs have squeezed consumers and businesses by making credit cards, auto loans, mortgages and other types of debt more expensive, and have also increased pressure on vulnerable sectors such as commercial real estate and banking regional. While Powell's focus is on maximizing employment and ensuring low, stable inflation, lowering rates would also help the U.S. government borrow more cheaply, easing the problem of its increasing interest payments.”
1. AMERICAN DEBT SITUATION.
Public debt is growing because interest is unsustainable.
But we are interested in knowing what the public debt situation is. And here is the graph.
​
https://preview.redd.it/85ou2ycc81ic1.png?width=643&format=png&auto=webp&s=fedf5dd07cd4ffb299c66029f6b4ee1071f04d47
A wonderful growth in public debt which until 2010 stood at around 60% then we reached 100% from 2015 to 2020 and now we have reached 120%, every time it has grown it has never gone back despite economic crises...
But we must also pay attention to the fact that the Fed's interest rates are the highest in 40 years.
​
https://preview.redd.it/ubyajsoe81ic1.png?width=642&format=png&auto=webp&s=80abdfac4e476fdf6dac332e9bea5674c79068b5
Powell said that in 2024 there will be 3 cuts... but we must think now that they have not yet been cut and the public debt in the meantime is financed at these rates.
​
https://preview.redd.it/cp2brx3h81ic1.png?width=643&format=png&auto=webp&s=370c4386fb79bcf477bf1035bcd9854020de6db1
This is the distribution by duration of the public debt maturity.. the bulk is the next 5 years.
​
https://preview.redd.it/y53bk1nj81ic1.png?width=642&format=png&auto=webp&s=3fb15c44940fd322cfc48d2808491023467fc57d
The cost of public debt is increasing exponentially… and we have reached over a trillion dollars.
1,000,000,000,000 /365 days = approximately 2 billion dollars in interest paid daily.
Now I'll show you a graph that's a little scarier than this one...
​
https://preview.redd.it/c5acyool81ic1.png?width=642&format=png&auto=webp&s=728ceb885658bebd666d63dc36bf252e36d6cd24
This graph is the weight of interest expenditure as a percentage of GDP, we have now returned to an expenditure of 4.5%. This is the highest value in the last 25 years, another factor is the speed with which we got here.
​
https://preview.redd.it/9v34rmpn81ic1.png?width=557&format=png&auto=webp&s=76e5663f538f58e8183f02242deee2de3974b4a7
The last weight of 4.5% was around the 60s and it took them 20 years… now they have taken 3 years…
This is why Jerome rang the alarm bell..
The American economy is a largely state-subsidized economy with major concerns about its sustainability.
2. THE DEFICIT PROBLEM.
Public debt is created with the deficit... the higher the deficit the greater the speed at which public debt grows.
Public debt is also a problem generated by politics which has major implications of both an economic and financial nature.
​
https://preview.redd.it/tnffdzip81ic1.png?width=508&format=png&auto=webp&s=5cffea4a6142a28d1dea3db0c3ca76207b6c2a9d
What emerges and is worrying is that the primary deficit is, all things considered, quite stable.
Primary deficit: the deficit net of interest when there is no interest yet.
But considering the monstrous growth that occurred in response to Covid and subsequently, the TOTAL deficit which also considers interests, we see that it will continue to grow significantly... up to a level that we don't know when until the United States explodes like a supernova.
Many people forget that interest must also be considered in the deficit, you can not deal with interest if your public debt is like that of Germany 70/80% which is more interesting than the primary deficit.
But for states like Italy, Japan and the United States which have a public debt of over 120%, interest rates cannot be ignored. Because if you don't contain the debt and refinance yourself at interest rates like the current ones, the total deficit continues to increase up to a point of no return which we don't know when it will be.
​
3. THE US RATING
With all these difficulties, does the US STILL have AAA ratings?
Wait.
​
https://preview.redd.it/rte9cpbt81ic1.png?width=643&format=png&auto=webp&s=cff72c4cd374c8523633729ccccee184e641d2d6
There's a smell of burning... a future anticipation of a possible down-rate on creditworthiness...
But the most disturbing thing is this graph.
​
https://preview.redd.it/n2a4w7wu81ic1.png?width=643&format=png&auto=webp&s=6c1f1f6b20f76ec10261ed82f1caf60be3bc9a60
The USA is the only AAA country to have a public debt over 120% And if we compare it with other countries they practically have double the public debt of other countries with AAA ratings.
[(SGP)Singapore: It is a financial hub and its government debt consists mainly of bank deposits that foreign banks have in Singapore. ]
But if we continue to compare countries with AAA ratings we will notice something very interesting and super fascinating because it shows the net government debt... net of what? Net of assets.
​
https://preview.redd.it/uz5pzdjw81ic1.png?width=643&format=png&auto=webp&s=f224cedf0ab286bc05eff372c757b8af645ed1a7
NORWAY: it has a public debt of 37% but there is the Norwegian pension fund (national fund) NOR has a public debt net of its assets which is negative in short, it has a public asset!
GERMANY: public debt is around 65% net of public assets, public debt is around 45%.
USA: the United States is the only one that has a lot of debt, little equity and is therefore out of scale compared to other states with AAA ratings.
So it is quite unusual, inexplicable why the USA has an AAA rating from a financial point of view, more than anything political, military, the world's leading economic power, military, of a government bond market which is the most liquid in the world, of a nation that it hosts the most innovative and at times monopolistic companies in terms of technology in the world.
The United States, given the deterioration of the financial situation due to all these positive aspects of their economy in general and their geopolitical position, will be the last to lose the AAA.
4. WHAT TO EXPECT?
What will happen? What is there to expect, after all the scenario is disturbing..
Some guesses.
1 Grow the economy: and from this point of view they are succeeding, but it must grow more than the public debt grows and from this point of view they are not succeeding.
2 Contain public debt: and if you cannot contain public debt because this would mean austerity, reducing spending, contracting the economy, then the best thing is to dilute public debt.
How can you dilute the public debt?
https://preview.redd.it/pfd20yyz81ic1.png?width=643&format=png&auto=webp&s=69479d3fc92e12c8ed4417479d7f9bf285b09a4d
With NEGATIVE interest rates in real terms, interest rates in real terms mean the interest rate that a government bond has net of the inflation that occurs at that moment.
But for now this situation is not possible.
I don't think they will be able to go back anymore, it's like being trapped in a system they built themselves and they have a lot of trouble moving the right pieces on the chessboard before checkmate arrives..
[ I apologize in advance if perhaps you don't understand well, but it's my first DD and I'm not an excellent expert in the English language. ]
We are winning, our strength is patience and we know we are right...
BUY HOLD DRS BOOK See you on the moon
