    I’m literally a Spaniard, not a Yank… Oh, sorry, you’re from North American Country #2 in genociding native populations, not from #1, my bad!

    Great job disregarding the difference between economic sanctions meant to starve people with the explicit purpose of regime change vs. lack of trade in general due to self reliance or response to US sanctions. You’re illiterate.

    For broader economic power, real dollars (or renminbi or pesos or whatever unit you like) is best

    For broader economic power you could measure actual industrial output: tons of iron, amount of ships built, energy consumed, any actual metric and not an arbitrary accounting unit. China’s central bank artificially devalues its currency in the international market to boost exports and productive capabilities, if you knew literally anything about economics you’d be aware of how this impacts GDP measurements in dollars.
