>>62134386>Why can't anyone win against the USA?Inevitably you end up with the US being your biggest trade partner, if you economically start eclipsing them it's ironically bad for business. And that includes the USSR.
>>62134386>Soviet economy soars, expected to overtake USALOL that never happened. The USSR was a train wreck from the very start. Stalin managed to force industrialization on what had been an agrarian peasant society, but their factories were complete garbage and their productivity was always shit.>Japan>ChinaBoth of them engaged in bubble financing and beggar-thy-neighbor mercantilism to try to pwn the U.S. Both of them ran out of money before they could wreck enough U.S. industries to take over.>EU stagnatesThey did it to themselves with all their political policies, ranging from "green energy" to "let's shit on white males and drive them out of society" to "hey we don't have enough workers so let's import illiterate stupid monkeys".

>>62134577Correct. They never teach you this in the USA but 200,000 Americans went to the Soviet Union along with hundreds of thousands of Westerners to help build it. They believed in socialism.Other Western specialists like factory engineers and such were hired out by American companies to build Soviet factories.Russia without non-Russian tech and specialists is an impossible shithole.Even post 1990 who built the Russian oil and gas infrastructure?German engineers, companies, and specialists.
