Well, why shouldn’t they sell out their sovereignty? Anything for cash on the barrelhead. We’ve shown how it is done.

Clinton did a pretty good job of it in his term (classified tech released as “dual use technology” in exchange for campaign contributions), and Obama tried to submerge our sovereignty with un-approved quasi-treaties (e.g, Paris economic agreement, various UN actions and contributions, Agenda 21 type environmental regulations).

They just declare bankruptcy or have a revolution and declare all past obligations "null and void." They've done it before and they'll do it again.
