If anti-productive things like interest and rent are counted as GDP then so should illegal activity.

I was wondering why US and Canada aren’t invited. Settler contestants only of course.

He’s said it multiple times in front of microphones.

Whoosh

Basically all the Nazi industrialists in West Germany got away with everything.

The effects of which have combined with the own-goal of ever higher energy prices means the monopolies which were still viable ten or even five years ago no longer are.

Looks just as legitimate and trustworthy as the rest US ruling class media.

You wanted to know what NYT is projecting, I told you.

I mean that the NYT is and always has been a huge part of the misinformation and propaganda efforts of the White House. More generally I also can’t take any “Russian propaganda” narrative seriously, given the context of the complete debunking of the Russiagate conspiracy theory and the fact that the US is for all practical purposes at war with Russia.

Typical NYT projection. It should be removed here too.

This is a significant number, the US delivered 2 million shells in the first year and a half of the proxy war.

1.6 million would be about a year and a half’s worth of US based production, but only once they hit a rate of 80,000 shells per month by late 2024. At 2023 production rates of 25,000 shells per month that delivery would take over five years. With Russian production at 300,000 per month minimum (based on your statement of Russian forces firing 10k per day), that’s a lot of work the west has got to do to even catch up.

I have to assume US arms production, as poor as it is, outperforms European production by a significant margin, so the 1.5-5 year time frame for US sourced shells could easily be doubled for EU sourced ones, or they just dig even further into the stockpiles.

The neolib-neocon reunification, a third way if you will.

I’ve had some encounters with party members, they’re about as insufferable as it gets. In fact one of those members I know was convinced to join by the unified EU army proposition. Some early members are hardcore Zionists as well, as is expected of any western bourgeois party.
