I don’t think you follow the EU financial condition. Broke. The US debt to GDP is the worst- 130 percent….the EU as a whole 88 percent ( look at the disastrous member states)…..Russia is 17 percent, and dropping.
“The government debt to GDP ratio in the European Union as a whole fell to 84 percent at the end of 2022 from a downwardly revised 88 percent in 2021. The highest ratios of government debt to GDP were recorded in Greece (171.3%), Italy (144.4%), Portugal (113.9%), Spain (113.2%), France (111.6%) and Belgium (105.1%), and the lowest in Estonia (18.4%), Bulgaria (22.9%) and Luxembourg (24.6%). Four Member States registered an increase in their debt to GDP ratio and twenty-three Member States a decrease. The increases in the ratio were recorded in Czechia (+2.1 pp), Estonia (+0.8 pp), Finland (+0.4 pp) and Luxembourg (+0.1 pp), while the largest decreases were observed in Greece (-23.3 pp), Cyprus (-14.7 pp), Portugal (-11.5 pp), Ireland (-10.7 pp), Croatia (-10.0 pp), Denmark (-6.6 pp), Italy (-5.5 pp), Lithuania (-5.3 pp), and Spain (-5.0 pp). source: EUROSTAT”
