So I know this is satire but I wouldn't buy a us bond. I would much rather buy one from a stable country.

The US economy is like the most stable economy in the world. And they don't double tax you, depending on where you live and the tax treaty.

We have had 2 assassination attempts on someone running for the highest public office in the country in 3 months. One of the people currently running for office who has a chance at winning tried lost the last election they were in and then tried to take over the government by force.

Our country is not stable.

I would much rather invest in a more stable country like Sweeden or Switzerland.

But a lot of european countries are pushing pretty hard to not borrow and have a zero balance or positive budget. So e.g. Switzerland don't sell that many bonds and yield on a lot of them is 0.5%, maybe 2% on long term ones vs around 4% for US ones.
