The U.S. has utterly destroyed Russia on a shoestring budget in Ukraine, which borders Russia, but okay
Original claim was that the U.S. “made” nothing, and now it’s a list of things that are made in the US, some exclusively so
The unsustainable federal fiscal balance is entirely due to social security and Medicare.
It wouldn’t matter if the usd depreciated since NGDP is measured in USD. And regardless - physical capital stock has been increasing in the U.S.
The U.S. is leagues and above the rest of the OECD in the share of the population with tertiary education and has tens of trillions of dollars of accumulated physical capital stock and technological development (drug formulas, source code, etc) that will exist into perpetuity. There is no “lottery winnings”; just steady, competent governance in a serene political environment delivering 2% growth year after year after year for 200+ years - one of the longest (if not the longest) unbroken chain of peaceful economic development of any country existent today.
Pure hubris. Especially considering the US lost to sandal wearing goat herders in Afghanistan and Yemen.
He is not a very good one given how transparent he is
I am now convinced more than ever that Lai Ching Te has to die along with English vegetable purely because of such disingenuousness and dishonesty, and I say this as a Taiwanese Compatriot. Also Ko Wenjie deserves to get shitcanned for being stupid enough not to compromise with KMT when they had a chance to win the election.
The U.S. was actually able to occupy a country on the other side of the world at minimal cost for 2+ decades. Russia can’t even occupy a bordering country and it’s entirely because of de minimis fiscal transfers from the U.S. to Ukraine
The US could not hold Afghanistan even dragging NATO along with it, and with the full blown support of Russia, Tajikistan, etc. Plus tacit acceptance of their presence there by China, Iran, and Pakistan. The Taliban were basically surrounded on all sides by countries with governments which did not support them. What support they did have was informal and provided by non-state actors.
The US used to joke about the Soviets losing in Afghanistan, but at least the Soviets managed to pull off an organized withdrawal, which is more than the US could do. The US withdrawal was a total debacle comparable with the collapse of Saigon in the Vietnam War.
Ukraine had hundreds of tanks, hundreds of billions of material support delivered to them. The Taliban had no such thing.
Wait until the bill for replacing that military equipment sent to Ukraine comes. And then you will cry. Those hundreds of billions sent to Ukraine will require a cool trillion to replace. They started with small arms costing several thousand, then million, then it was ten million dollar tanks, and now it is hundred million dollar jets.

Heh, truly, the U.S. government can work wonders. Just a handful of leaks and meetings from the AIT and the U.S. is able
to split the Taiwanese vote cleanly down the middle and get Le Chiang-Te elected. Amazing
Nope. The U.S. was able to create its own puppet government in Afghanistan that governed the country, by its own with token help from other countries that wanted to show their fealty to the United States. Russia has set up nothing of the sort in Ukraine. And even all the more remarkable since Afghanistan is thousands of miles away from the U.S. and Ukraine borders Russia; the Afghanistan war caused literally no economic adjustments in the U.S. - hence the common refrain “the marines went to war while Americans went to the mall” - but the Ukraine war has caused a complete and total restructuring of economic life in Russia. The U.S. was able to land a larger, more complex mission in Afg. with far more dexterity and effectiveness with minimal impact elsewhere while Russia can’t even land a simple land invasion of a bordering country without failing miserably and causing yet another turn of the turmoil wheel that Russia has been spinning nonstop since the 1800s.
