About Germany. 

It doesn't matter who comes to power in Germany, national consensus (yes, including the majority of population) is to settle score with Russia. It is a way to deal with WW II trauma. Germany as a nation is Russia's enemy.

Alex And Alexander...

 ... give a good talk about Russia's real economy. 

The only point of contention is the size of... American economy most of which is reported from the service sector, real estate and other financial indices. It is definitely not $23 trillion and it is dwarfed by the economy of China. The structure matters here, and while still significant, US real sector, real industries, shrunk in the last 25 years dramatically, if not catastrophically. The hint is, of course, Russia producing MORE steel and iron than the US, and producing about 70% of energy of the US. Energy consumption in MTOE (Million Tons Oil Equivalent) for 2022 puts ratio at this figure:

Which roughly translated into about 38% of US consumption. Russian economy continues to surge like crazy and by the end of 2025 should hover at 40-42% of the US one. Which gives us a very rough size of Russian economy being about 40% of the US one if one projects those figures directly at GDP number, which, in its turn, is an extremely rough approximation. 

Alex And Alexander Weigh In.

And it is nothing surprising--Biden is a walking Exhibit A of Alzheimer and dementia. Why brief, when the remnants of Republic are being systematically destroyed by the Obamas and their DNC operatives, whose only "competency" is the ability to navigate deep recesses of Washington bureaucracy. They only know how to do PR, how to manipulate and how to stay in power--in terms of real statesmanship and governance they are credentialed zeros.   

Governing as such is paralyzed in the United States and nothing could be done about it because even the most non-biased polls tell us that at least a third of a country enjoys its destruction. This is not your tiny minority, this is a force to be reckoned with, especially in its fanaticism. It is a systemic collapse of American governance and slow transition to the third world.
