Well is America either?
Because right now, the two economies are #1 and #2 in the world.
No, America is not. Some think it is, by a very vague reference, but it’s of no significance.
But actually, they both can still be the number 1 and 2 economies in the world and still have no significance in the final war over there. They may very well be drawn in at the last minute, but they will have played no part leading up to it.
America certainly is not. Which is the part I care about.
