I don't think that on a PPP basis, the GDP of the USSR ever exceeded 50% of America's, making China the only real peer-competitor of the US in history.

USSR didnot traded much outside its block. so very little is known how they calculate things like services.
what USSR achieved it built its own airline industry and was energy independent across the block. Aeroflot became world largest airline even though alot people not capable traveling outside. what USSR provided to countries like West Germany, Spain and Netherlands to be alot more independent from US.
US GDP is very different now. you have to count Mexico and India part of US GDP. India software services are overhelming designed for US. similar Mexico industries. these things can create alot of GDP inside India and Mexico. US GDP would be alot larger if all those things and people associated with it are imported into US.

The strikes did nothing against Houthis, but they made Houthis target their and British ships also directly unlike before.

They probably raised oil prices and supply costs even more with that, and they should worry about inflation, not low-inflation China for example.

Also, I doubt they got much Houthi hardware, as Houthis have been bombed for nearly 10 years already from the same positions with the same equipment, even in the same places that the US hit, so if they didn't manage to hide their hardware better, they are idiots.

To be honest, like everything that the US does, it does it without any thought, in complete chaos, as they are run by low IQs.

They are not low IQ. its various lobbies that do things in measured way to get desired results like reengaging US in Mideast with even firmer commitment. make the war too hard will make US escape from the region. I mean this UAE convert this Socotra island into tourist spot and i havent seen anything from houthis.

This is outrageously absurd, you are counting other people's wallet to make yourself look richer than you actually are.

China is the top trader/exporter with US, much higher than India. Why don't you count China's GDP into US as well? That would certainly make US "United States of Earth".

Alot of things in Mexico and India are exclusively for US market. even Japanese automobile made in Mexico for North American market not fit for Japanese market and almost 90% of Mexico trade is due to US and the same with services like tourism. There is very free flow of labor and capital between these countries. India software industry is basically US. when scale becomes bigger than better count it as US GDP. China US trade is much smaller impact on US relative to GDP.

Actually, part of US gdp should be counted as part of China and India's gdp. Without China and India these US companies cannot even function properly.

I would add Canada also to US when practically every thing from weopons to energy of Canada are all about US. I dont think China has this kind of arrangement with any country.

This statement is so idiotic. You should learn the meanings of a few keywords first before you post. "GDP" (especially the 'P'), "Trade", "Export", "Import".
"GDP" is how much is produced. "Trade" (= "Export" + "Import") is how the produced goods and services are distributed. You are so confused.

It would be hilarious but depressingly plausible that the USN actually does blockade the Red Sea and prevent Chinese flagged and Chinese crewed ships from transiting ‘for their own protection’ just because they cannot protect their own and allied shipping from Houthi attacks.

It would be an act of war.
