Here's one right here where, in your next breath, so to speak, you assert: "I do not ignore national security threats to the U.S."
Yes. You most certainly do. A SPECIFIC of that is shown with your last little missive, where you fail to grasp the titanic "effective" amounts of resources China is currently pouring into their strategic weapons and forces buildup:
"Speaking of the "ppp" of GDP is to show a misunderstanding of what PPP means."
Tell it to the experts such as Mr. Tkacik.
His bang for the buck analysis is straightforward. Your position is not: Does a billion dollars of military spending go substantially further in China than it does here?
You are the one who is always touting China as the produceer of things "better and cheaper."
So you don't have any previous examples? ROFL!
Yes. You most certainly do.
No I don't.
Tell it to the experts such as Mr. Tkacik.
I'd rather tell it to you.
His bang for the buck analysis is straightforward.
If rent in China is 10% of that in America, that doesn't make the $10 million missile they build suddenly worth $100 million. That doesn't make the $1 billion arms purchase from Russia suddenly worth $10 billion.
You are the one who is always touting China as the produceer of things "better and cheaper."
I dare you to produce an instance where I touted any such thing.
