@VolodyaMuchavsky 100% incorrect on all counts. Russia isn't even a value added economy and doesn't rate among the top economies. It doesn't even factor into US trade.
How many fighter production lines does Russia have open right now and what's the volume?
How many missile production lines?
How many ships, subs, UAS, satellites, trucks, armored vehicles, and cargo aircraft?
US has 4 fighter production lines open right now cranking out hundreds of fighters per year.
US is the only nation with a bomber production line open, and they're next generation stealth bombers.
Russia hasn't had a bomber line open in decades, has no serious RDT&E to that effort, made its last Tu-160 in 1992. They're trying to count Tu-160M as newly-built, when the production line hasn't existed since the collapse.
If you look at basic numbers of US economic activity, it dwarfs Russia and China. Personal and household income in the US makes Russia and China combined look like 3rd world cesspools.

@VolodyaMuchavsky US economy is very much factored into the Russian economy because Russia relies/relied on US petroleum engineers, US heavy equipment, medical devices, computers, telecom, financial products, electronics, etc. Russia has invested heavily into steering US politics and academia, as well as media since the 1930s at the latest, just as many other nations have. Everyone wants a piece of the biggest economy, biggest production centers of the world.

@neverknowsbest2879 China exports low quality trash. US exports multi-layered extreme high value-added advanced systems and products that help elevate hundreds of other nations, especially China.
China imports 85% of its energy, whereas the US is the #1 petroleum refining power in the world.
China's numbers are also fabricated, from population to CPI, GDP, growth rate, and everything you look at. If you study Chinese history, it's all about lies, cheating, scams, and thievery.
If you see someone saying China has a bigger economy than the US, just understand you're being lied to.

@VolodyaMuchavsky Value-added economy means you have industrial and intellectual infrastructure to refine goods and provide services through a chain of production that creates more refined and useful products at home and abroad.
Russia has a raw materials-based economy with no value-added other than in the military sales sector, since Russia wastes a huge % of its GDP on weapons. Russia’s main exports are oil and Natural Gas. In the energy sector, the US imports millions of barrels of oil from nations with thick crude, and refines them in a mixture of US light sweet oil that is very easy to refine. But when you look at US heavy industry, vehicles, aircraft, jet engines, telecom, petroleum refining equipment, computers, electronics, chemicals, medical devices, medical supplies, food, and down the list, there is no other nation like it.
The US and NATO have not sent their full. weapons production capacity to Ukraine/. The US has mainly sent outdated equipment and weapons that were scheduled for destruction. It’s actually cheaper for the US to send those older weapons and munitions than it is to dispose of them. I live right near one of the main depots that destroys old munitions. We normally would hear explosions from the depot all the time. Since 2022, that has ceased.
Here’s another problem though, in that I have actually lived all over Russia, from St. Petersburg to Pushkino to Obninsk. I spent a lot of time commuting into Moscow every week when living near Pushkino, and saw how Russians live in various cities, towns, and villages.
The US has 50 States that cover a broader region of population distribution than Russia, even though Russia has much more land area. Most of the Russian population is in the West near the borders of Europe, so population density in Russia is more like what you see East of the Mississippi in the US. The US has 341.8 million people spread out more, with cities all over the Nation.
The US has over 7 million km of roadways, highways, and streets and is at #1, with India at #2 if you count all their dirt roads. Russia isn’t even in the top 4 nations for roadways, due to a combination of frozen terrain and wasting money on weapons.
The US is also #1 in rail network size at over 220,000km. Russia isn’t even half that, at 105,000km. You see this when you travel all over both nations as I have.
Same with airports. The US is without peer in this space, with over 14,000 airports and airfields, many of which I have flown out of since the 1970s in private, commercial, and military aviation.
As to standard of living, they show you propaganda in Russia so you don’t leave. If you saw how people live in the US, you wouldn’t believe it. I do love the food in Europe and Russia though. it is absolutely true that the US food market is packed with chemicals and additives that I avoid as much as possible. This is very much a real problem. You have to be selective in what you buy, so my family home-cooks almost all of our meals.

I don’t agree with how Libya was handled. That was Israel fabricating evidence against Libya all these years.
