Russia Dominates US As World’s Largest Owner Of Natural Resources…

Think harder, US debt is $ 37 trillion plus, and 125 percent of GDP….Russian debt, 17 percent of GDP….a child with a calculator can figure out who is broke.

Don’t let your Russian Derangement Syndrome cloud your judgement. Russia is self sufficient, the West, not.

[GaltAdonis]

The USA is not self-sufficient.
I am striving to be. At least somewhat.

Beijing’s aim, on the one hand, is to exploit the Russian Far East’s rich resources, mainly minerals,

The Kremlin is already in such dire financial straits that it is selling oil, gas and other commodities at cut-rate prices to generate the cash needed to sustain the war. The Xi administration recognizes that Moscow may not be so generous once the war is over or once President Putin is no longer in power

“
Russian debt, 17 percent of GDP…”

But our creditors gladly lend to us, and will continue gladly lending to us. They continue to consider us creditworthy.

Whereas Putin's Russia has no friends, no one willing to lend to him.

So, who's really broker?
