  • I think this article focuses more on the private sector of the arm industry. Precisely the problem is that the ramping up of production has the objective of ending the war in favour of Ukraine, and if it were so all of the industrial expansion that would require would have lost sense since there would be overproduction. On the other hand they are interested if the war gets prolonged, but it wouldn't make much sense for the Ukrainians. Another interpretetion is that Europe needs not to take care of it and be dependant of the US military industry.

    It all comes down for profits for the CEOs of the military industrial complex.

  • In economics it's hard to say something for certain until it has been carried out by a big macroeconomical subject, and if what you mean is something of infinite debt accumulation, it's even harder to measure it because it can mean that at any point there could be a non prevented scenario where things didn't go as planned. I doubt there has ever been a case in history of an entity with so much debt, and while maybe it works as is described here, it can also mean that it could act in a totally different way under a different scenario. For example one where a country who's currency is used globally stops being so. Time will tell, I guess. I'd love to see some quotes about how this paper says things work, if you have read it.

  • Because the same people or friends of the people who work at corporations are the ones at congress. They are just doing theatre while shaking hands in meetings.

  • The letting tens of thousands of civilians die.

  • This idiocy again. Look, my bot friend. No one is buying it. Your bot colleagues up voting your comments isn’t helping either. No cares what US threatens and they certainly don’t care about your feeble attempts to influence public opinion.

  • To be fair the web site does a terrible job at presenting the information since it only gives you a couple of of datasets at a time, so the screenshot makes it easier to see the difference. Although I agree that having the link in the URL field and the image on the body would have been better, I guess.

  • Except it's not numbers going up, it's statistical data about the US debt, such as the titled implied. In neoliberal right wing governments such as the one in the US, the way they fight this kind of scenarios is austerity policies such as not raising wages as inflation goes up, the lowering of the living standards of the working class, and so on, instead of making the actual culprits pay the price.

    This and the current trend of dedolarisation, plus the recent failure of China buying US debt, and a lot of other factors could indicate some bad times for the US economy.

    I think it would have been more useful if you would have asked about the consequences of unsustainable debt or some other thing related to economy, since none of us are experts probably, were we could have created a meaningful debate, rather than acting arrogantly. The title says what the body shows, what you can get from that data depends on your field of study, but statistical data is not useless numbers going up, even in something like Cookie Clicker mean things that can be interpreted.

  • We just talk about the genocides committed by the baddies.

  • Samo samo as the imperial core has always done on the imperialised America. If you want specific details some else has provided them.

  • Does this work if I'm behind a doubleNAT?

  • Did the US commit a genocide when they invaded Afghanistan?

  • Poor Amerikkkans now will have to produce their own opium to feed their overdosed population.

  • Vote with you wallet mentality surely has done wonders for "croony" capitalism. Why don't you stop drinking Coke since they funded death squads in Colombia? Are they not enough white for you to care?
