When the dollar loses so much ground by hyperinflation

I stopped reading right here.

[Farbin Kaiber]

When the dollar loses so much ground by hyperinflation to try to balance the deficit, the value of "paper" (loans/mortgage) owed in dollars to other countries (China) becomes worthless, and they will be left with a situation where they need to get their value back somehow so they could, in theory send an "enforcer" to lay down some requests, of which could be land in trade for lost equity. Being as the dollar is tied to nothing other that the "Societal" value placed on it, when it collapses, there is no other backing vlue to transfer other than territory.

You are broke. Nobody will lend you money. And you owe a few months rent to your landlord. He will probably ask you politely if you are willing to give him head and be his slave in exchange of monthly payments...And you have no choice.

So bend over buddy.

You just don't get it. do you? The concept is akin to the US getting foreclosed on. Imagine the US not paying their mortgage, and the "Bank" (China) repo's the property.

Perhaps it's just too insane for me to wrap my head around. So the implication is that because we owe China money, they are going to "foreclose" on us and take our land? My question is how exactly do you think this is going to happen? Are they going to go to war with us and occupy the United States? Are the politicians going to sell part of the country and make it "New China"? I have heard this "China is going to repo the US" argument before but no one ever feels the need to explain how they think this is going to happen which leads me to the conclusion that they are full of it and just spreading FUD.

China buying all things American will give them political power as well as the wealth of the US as a whole. In the extreme China then could technically claim the United States as an Occupied territory or even worse.

Explain this please.
