it clearly isn't

but if you want to look at the whole economy

GDP wise

~~you are arguing that chinese economic system was made to help the citizens?~~

~~just to make this clear~~

~~this *is* what you are arguing~~

?

He said it clearly isn't

ah fuck im blind

by 2030

GDP

billions

USD

well yeah in this case, china is really close to surpassing the US

through this optic

ye

yeah this was the measurement i meant

sorry if i wasn't clear

@lola I think the only thing we can agree on is that we will disagree? Y'know whut I mean? ... it's like @Similar Scowl offered- my thought on that is when in Rome do as the Romans do... As for the economy, I just think 'the love of money..'
*Shrugs.. in any case if I were to be a visitor in either of your homes I would be a decent guest, if I had some kinda moral problem with ya I just wouldn't have anything to do with ya.

ye then you would be right

@unit wth is that supposed to mean

@Similar Scowl what was about Obama then?

How did you draw that conclusion

@unit so you mean like, if country A's government criticizes B's government, government B's should prohibit A's citizens from entering the country?

just to clarify

He does

He doesn't understand why they would allow that

@Lola ah, I think it means we probably won't have much to do with each other.. @Similar Scowl yup

@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ Obama just continued the foreign policy from previous administrations. foreign policy in the US tends to remain consistent regardless of dems or GOP in power. the opposite happens in domestic affaris

the last time the US formally declared war on a country was during ww2

Tourism plays a big role in the economy of a lot of countries

because declaring war is prohibited by the UN charter. so countries just go around it and dont declare war

Continuing foreign policy from previous admins doesn't make it okay

And us declared war with Iraq

Why would they put that source of income away

i never said it was ethical or morally correct

I'm saying it was a bad policy

He illegally started a war

illegally as in no congressional approval
