@nenadmitrovic3469 Germany is already rich. Germany also doesn't lie about their economic numbers. China's exports and real estate are both collapsing and that's over half of their economy. But according to them the economy is booming, sure.

@nenadmitrovic3469 Russian hydrocarbon export revenue is down 90% since the start of the war. They banned refined product exports because of fuel shortages. The Ruble is in the toilet and they are going through one of the worst demographic collapses in history. Chinese real estate (30% of their economy) and exports (20% of their economy) are both falling off a cliff. Internal consumption is way down and they are they are undergoing a demographic collapse even worse then Russia's. But sure, their economies are booming. Just ask them.

@ALLAHISENOUGHFORPALASTINE What's worse, taking out a dictator or trying to annex your democratic neighbors? Is that really what you are asking?

@nenadmitrovic3469 Moreover PPP means nothing if nobody wants your currency. Nobody wants dictator funny money. All that means is you can buy stuff you produce yourself at a lower price. Which in Russia's case is hydrocarbons and potato's. Though considering they've got worse inflation despite having super high interest rates even that is going out the window. Even fuel prices are spiking in Russia leading to a refined product export ban. That's supposed to be the only thing Russia is good at. (well that and senseless destruction) and they cant even do that right.

@nenadmitrovic3469 None of what you said is true, you can believe whatever makes you feel fuzziest inside though.

@nenadmitrovic3469 Do you think there are IMF and WB secret agents that infiltrate economies to get their numbers? Is that really what you think? Russia and China self report their own cooked numbers and are taken at face value.
