Exactly . He ' s agreeing with me . <| sep |> lol what ? He ' s been fine all game <| sep |> No thanks . They ' re going downhill . <| sep |> thats why russia is allied with chinaRussia isn ' t allied with China . also russia has 10 % GDP as debtRussia has a government debt of 17 . 7 % of GDP . Not 10 %. And the reason its that low is because Russia had to default on its debts back in 1998 . Of course , that ' s just government debt we ' re talking about . Private corporate especially debt in Russia is much , much higher and I doubt it ' s very sustainable . western countries have huge debtAnd they ' re also generally much more able to sustain those debts . Looking purely at debttogdp as an indication of sustainability is ridiculous . the US can ' t pay off its interest rates at this pointWhere did you hear this nonsense ? It ' s clearly not true . The American federal government paid around 225 billion dollars in interest last year . It can easily afford this given the US federal government has a budget calculated in trillions of dollars .
