    Yes, but our prices are lower for everything. For example, how much can you get a haircut in America? And we have a simple haircut that costs 300 rubles or 3-3.5 dollars. Lunch in the dining room is 200-300 rubles (2-3 dollars), travel around the city by bus is 40 rubles. Taxi fare is 300-500 rubles. Rent a flat for a month 15-20 thousand rubles (150-200 dollars). And so it is in everything.

    China's economy is teetering on the brink. The U.S. is better situated to prosper in the next decade than any other nation on the planet. We have the resources and manpower, the strongest military in the world and ... if we can get rid of trump .. the most stable government and currency.

    Indeed, which makes the maga crowd despondent.

    UK and the US are not the same person, same government same economy or same military. They actually fought a war in order to divorce from each other.

    The United States and the west are bound through similar ideology in democracy and freedom. If your "chums" include North Korea and Iran...you have issues.

    BRICS isn't a military alliance. You knew that right? If the United States went to war with Iran for example, there is no expectation or declaration of Chinese intervention.

    On the flip side, the United States has made their position incredibly clear with Taiwan for example. They've declared their intention to intervene in any conflict with China.

    Those are not friends. Those are business partners with American military bases. Now get back on topic please.

    You’re the one that took us down that road. The fact is most of the world stands WITH the U.S. against the tyrant’s of the world.

    Are you even an American? America has kept a very contentious world "relatively" peaceful for nearly 80 years. Yes, there have been constant wars but they've been comparatively, to what used to be, small wars. Most countries are proud of their alliance WITH the United States. Of course some are against us and even hate us, because we are a threat to their despotism. Yes, we have done some "thugish" things but by and large we made the world in the last half of the 20th Century and so far in this one a much more stable, peaceful place to do business. And as President Coolidge said; "The business of America is business".

    In any case you droll attitude about MY Country is unwarranted lies.

    And quit ordering people around, you're not the boss of any of us. You're sure as hell not the boss of me.

    So you know better than the father of modern linguistics and a public intellectual and professor at MIT.

    is that an igiveup meme?
    You expect me to listen to your opinion on America benevolence which is in direct contrast to the opinions of a public intellectual who is Among the most cited living authors and has written more than 150 books on topics such as linguistics, war, and politics, whom states that America is the biggest threat to world peace?

    If you have credentials equal to such a distinguished professor then please, do show your qualifications.

    I wish Vladimir Putin would die and got to hell where he belongs. As long as the Russian people continue to support his nationalist BS, I have no sympathy for them.

    They had their chance to join the rest of western world, but too many of yearn for the "good old says" when the Soviet Union was a world power. Sadly they got stuck with a sick old man, Yelson, which took them down. We are headed in the same direction with Biden.

    I'm confused by your reply. You pull this guy like a gun but don't provide a link to what your claiming. Which to me really doesn't matter because your position is denegrating of the U.S. ... WITH NO supporting documentation. And frankly that happens every day all day on this board. :roll:
