The $10 Trillion Domino: Why Japan, Germany, and the UK are Now on Red Alert
The $10 Trillion Domino: Why Japan, Germany, and the UK are Now on Red Alert
In February 2026, the global financial landscape is shifting at a terrifying pace. While Japan just concluded a historic election that handed Sanae Takaichi a landslide mandate for massive fiscal stimulus, the bond markets are sending a different signal: Red Alert. With Japanese 40-year bond yields crossing 4% for the first time in decades and the $20 trillion Yen carry trade beginning to unwind, the ripples are hitting Europe and the US. Germany has shattered its constitutional “debt brake,” projecting a deficit of over 4.75% of GDP—its largest push since the 1970s. Meanwhile, UK Gilt yields have surged to 5.7%, surpassing the peak of the 2022 Liz Truss crisis.
This video/article explores the “how money works” mechanics behind this sovereign debt crisis. From the potential for Japan to dump $1.2 trillion in US Treasuries to the impact on your mortgage rates, bitcoin (BTC), and gold holdings, we break down the global power shift and what it means for your wealth building strategy.
Whether you are into investing, crypto, or simply trying to understand the global economy, this is a must-watch deep dive into the history of money currently being written.

Japan cannot be "forced to sell" anything.
Hence this entire squib is nonsense.
Result has already announced
China could be plotting how to use interest rates to bring down Japan. China can cope with high interest rates but not Japan.
China can buy up massive amount of JPY bonds and then dumped that to create massive impact.
AI slop.
Interesting perspective here! Ohhh mercy, the way you said the $10 trillion domino had me clutching my imaginary pearls because wow, it reminded me of the day I tried to stack my own financial “dominoes” and the whole thing collapsed faster than my diet on Thanksgiving. I remember sitting there like “Marquis, my guy, why does your savings plan look like it’s held together with optimism and leftover coupons” and suddenly I’m Googling terms like sovereign debt, bond yields, and “should I be sweating or just lightly concerned.” And hearing Japan, Germany, and the UK all on red alert instantly took me back to the time my cousin texted me “Call me ASAP” and I panicked, only for her to say she couldn’t remember the name of that one restaurant with the good fries. But honestly, the first time I learned how interconnected global economies are, it hit me like a plot twist. Years ago, I was broke enough to consider ramen a personality trait, and one night I told myself “Alright champ, let’s stop pretending the world economy doesn’t affect you just because your bank account is shy.” That tiny moment changed everything. I started paying attention, learning, planning, and slowly leveling up. So now when I hear about trillion dollar dominoes wobbling, instead of panicking, I’m like “Okay cool, let me grab my emotional helmet and stay informed.” Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the global economy is basically a giant group project where nobody wants to admit they’re stressed, but everyone’s eye is twitching at the same time.
Japan already did, tachi… got almost all the seats

Silver will give better returns than any metal or stock in 2026. As there is a shortage of silver. No alternative to silver has been found for its industrial usage. Today, industrial demand for silver exceeds the amount mined. Silver is expected to deliver a 40% return in 2026, as it did in 2025.
Do Sips in Gold and Silver ETFs get better returns than Stock ETFs in 2026? So dump stocks and buy Gold and silver ETFs.
The gold price is rising due to the de-dollarisation of international trade, and this trend is increasing every year. Silver prices will rise because more silver is consumed by industry than is mined. This trend has occurred over the last five years and will continue for another five years.

UK & Germany bankrupt thanks to handing over all their money 💰 to zelensky of Ukraine (to fund zelensky's war – he knows if the war ends he has no job – thus wants war to continue forever). And Europe countries so gullible to fall for that joke.
