But remember - Zeepers like to tell us that even NY City has higher GDP ($2.2 Trillion) than that of all of Russia ($2.1 Trillion)!

Even though NY City produces no vehicles, no tanks, no airplanes, no missiles, no energy, no ships, no microchips, grows no food, etc. etc.

But they DO trade a lot of bonds and stocks at a margin, which shows up in GDP figures

so I guess that makes NY City stronger than Russia.

The important gdp for military in 2025 are credit default swaps, subprime securitization, OnlyFans Subscriptions and retail margins on imported crap.
