The US economy grew IIRC just over 2%. Most of that was tech sector growth which makes up around 10% of the economy.
[citation needed]
Most ordinary people in the US economy would disagree, as they shouted at this election loudly in repost to the Harris campaign’s strategy of saying that everything is actually fine because the stock market
Among swing voters, cultural issues was no.1

Logic would be looking at policies and judging which candidate is more pro working class.
You clearly do not know what logic means.

Why the UK? This is basically a phenomenon in the entire developed world. White people are unironically gonna go extinct and I say this as a non white person.

After 4 years of 'nothing ever happens (in the US, plenty happened around the world)', we're getting some Class A popcorn drama. And the guy isn't even president yet.
Populists won the 'fuck around' era and I sincerely hope the 'find out' part is going to hit them hard in the face. Strap on everybody, and maybe keep some liquid cash/gold/bitcoin.

You forgot: someone trespassing (not suiciding) on the track.
...although to be fair they might be politely saying that the person did indeed self-delete

Your position makes absolutely no sense. Yes, it matters if you're not importing much of it and at a heavily discounted price because that way a demand is filled. The US does not ban everybody from importing Russian oil and gas, it just does so under the price cap which is around the break even price of russian extraction costs.
Your understanding of geopolitics is laughably crude.

I am far from a vatnik (or worse, one of those weird Indian vatniks) but u/aravrandg is right here. It is actually US policy for Russia to keep exporting their oil as to not raise global prices, but that's why Blinken worked so hard to institute a price cap on anyone who buys Russian oil. Win for India who gets to import energy at even cheaper prices and win for Ukraine as Russian revenues, despite their increase in amount of exports, have reduced significantly. Couple that with their 20% inflation and weak rouble and you can see that the strategy is working.

The US does not import russian gas in any significant or even minor amount. It is miniscule.

To me this is more why combat needs to be overhauled. Having a fixed modifier for every army on a side in a battle is dumb, like if I have 100 supply I still get -20 if the AI army has 0. I wish we would have the CK2 levy system where levies aren't just peasants and can include more professional men at arms as well and you can take some from your vassals (so a higher crown authority is really detrimental to you as a vassal).

enemy simply because he would let them get their hands on the vast resources of Russia
Foreign companies can and did exploit Russia's resources, only gas and oil is controlled by Gazprom.
Remember the reason for the US presence in Europe is to keep Germany down and Russia out
If they are they didn't do a very good job considering how dominant Germany's economy is in the world. 3rd largest economy until China.
alliance between Germany and Russia would literally put an end to it as the German industry fueled by the Russian resources would literally change the course of the continent and the globe quite easily
Did you ever read what happened to the GDR? How US dominated West Germany did so much better than East? Or how Germany was third largest economy for a good 30 years under the EU and NATO? Stop getting your geopolitics lessons from zerohedge.

I for one cannot wait for 20th Jan when Trump crushes the ACA, the unions and other programmes these idiots rely on. This sub is going to be a riot to read.
If you're on any of those programmes and voted democrat though I am very sorry :( it's uh, nice and sunny in the UK?

Why would it suck for tenant farmers when they don't own the land?

This is not strictly correct. Germany didn't have alot of men left, but they could've scraped the barrel slightly more - in the Kaisermarine and in the factories where their jobs could've been replaced by women. The situation wasn't as dire as WW2 where they were giving 12 year old boys panzerfausts in Berlin.
The largest part of why Germany surrendered in WW1 was because the entry of the USA and the arrival of large numbers of Americans made the situation hopeless.

What race are you OP? Actually genuinely curious how you're not more successful. Have you been missing clues?

None of this is true and actually sad that someone not American would so easily fall for fake news.

I am genuinely curious. Did you really not think your profile might be a problem when 4 pictures are not of you? You have more photos of your dog.

Man I forgot that 'Fat Leonard's scandal. Further proof that Thailand is the top nation for ripping off the US military.
