Yes, they are roughly equal but one is growing and the other is on track for a two-year recession.
I think the Russian GDP is roughly half of Germany’s GDP alone
not when measured in PPP
I knew they were going to lose but I expected the US to drag it for longer.
Yes, I am not overly concerned. As I see it with enough cheap energy and technology, it is a livable problem, if only the entire region had peace and stable governments. Some cities in the more prosperous countries have outdoor air conditioning, and what luck cooling is a more efficient process than heating. I personally hope we develop nuclear energy and use outdoor air conditioning in all cities.
Don’t complain about heat if you haven’t lived around the Persian Gulf. I know what true heat is like and you can watch this and see https://youtu.be/adcfm-fBhSw
GCC states get demonized for the treatment of migrant workers and a lot of it is justified. But at least all of them are moving to have heat protection laws in place!

Doesn’t the US count things like the excessive healthcare costs into its GDP?
Biden was to the right of Menachim Begin. Hardly surprising. Biden has always been a monster. He is everything Democrats think Trump will be.
Begin said Biden “rose and delivered a very impassioned speech” defending the invasion. Begin said he was shocked at how passionately Biden supported Israel’s invasion when Biden “said he would go even further than Israel, adding that he’d forcefully fend off anyone who sought to invade his country, even if that meant killing women or children.” Begin said, “I disassociated myself from these remarks,” adding: “I said to him: No, sir; attention must be paid. According to our values, it is forbidden to hurt women and children, even in war. Sometimes there are casualties among the civilian population as well. But it is forbidden to aspire to this. This is a yardstick of human civilization, not to hurt civilians.” The comments were striking from Begin, who had been notorious as a leader of the Irgun, a militant group that carried out some of the worst acts of ethnic cleansing accompanying the creation of the state of Israel, including the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre.

Why do liberals keep falling for this? No one believes in Juche necromancy more than them
To think this is the country that robbed half the planet.
Of course when looked at with class analysis the owner-class benefited from the empire while everyone else paid the price one way or another. It just never occurred to me that the British could be so downtrodden.
Many still won’t accept it, but Ukraine have been abandoned
Unfortunately not just Intel
“We have intercepted electronic communication indicating that al-Qaeda members are actively plotting to stay out of the way while America as we know it gradually crumbles under the weight of its own self-inflicted debt and disrepair,” FBI Deputy Director Mark F. Giuliano told the assembled press corps. “If this plan succeeds, it will leave behind a nation with a completely dysfunctional economy, collapsing infrastructure, and a catastrophic health crisis afflicting millions across the nation. We want to emphasize that this danger is very real.”
“Praise Allah, for soon every American city shall be plagued with disaster and hardship,” al-Zawahiri said in the video, which includes several minutes of footage of young, masked al-Qaeda militants casually sipping beverages as they thumb through the latest issues of Time and U.S. News And World Report. “The infidels have brought this pain and destruction upon themselves through their arrogance and callousness. Soon, the United States will watch in horror as its bridges crumble, its desperate citizens suffer in want of medicine and paying employment, and its once vast riches are reduced to naught. The righteous warriors among our ranks must now unite, get comfortable, and look on from afar at the calamity unfolding in the West.”

Good. The least that Muslim majority states should be doing. I’m ashamed of how useless Arab governments have been, except Yemen 🇾🇪❤️
Good luck, Engels found it challenging:
I am put off Arabic, partly by my inborn hatred of Semitic languages, partly by the impossibility of getting anywhere, without considerable expenditure of time, in so extensive a language — one which has 4,000 roots and goes back over 2,000-3,000 years. By comparison, Persian is absolute child’s play. Were it not for that damned Arabic alphabet in which every half dozen letters looks like every other half dozen and the vowels are not written, I would undertake to learn the entire grammar within 48 hours.

He got played by the US
Remember when they believed that Russia attacked Nordstream? I got called a Russian bot for stating the obvious: why would Putin blow up his own source of income?
A symbolic key
