2. Not small. Denmark sold 100 million? worth of bonds the other day, and the DOW dropped 900 points.

If JUST EUROPE sells off our debt they hold, it will likley result in an instant economic depression here. The bond and commodity markets will go haywire, the dow will follow and inflation will skyrocket. Exports will drop to almost nothing to Europe, and if Greenland is invaded, the first 'action' other than shooting at us in self defense will be NATO economic sanctions.

Ask Iran how being a pariah state is working out for them.
