A sovereign wealth fund with over $1 trillion USD (so with over $1 million per Emirati citizen) which invests heavily in U.S. equities will be sold for pennies?

So U.S. equities will be sold for pennies?

Are you predicting a U.S. stock market crash bigger than the Great Depression, when oil runs out?

Foreign assets are only as good as your alliance with those foreign nations.

When you lose your only bargaining chip(oil), things start to look dicey.

You're implying that the U.S. securities worth hundreds of billions held by a nation will be under threat of theft (by the U.S. government itself?) because the nation doesn't "have bargaining chips"?

So the U.S. will begin to rob and plunder the bank accounts of countries that don't have a bargaining chip?

Is that where the U.S. heading? The daylight roberry of the bank accounts of foreigners?

The Russian reserves are taken just as you described. The trust is eroded by a bit, despite the general acceptance that it was justified.

Hhmmmm,

Could be a sell off if it isn't managed...measured buy-backs scaled over a timeline that maybe offers them an opportunity to invest in other commodities may be preferable.

Actually now that I think about it...I should probably keep a pulse on ME holdings about 2 or so decades from now
