You seem to think that the US economy is on paper. You are ignorant.

Actually quite the opposite, I think the US economy is hard concrete things, like factories and resources etc.  I am surprised you would say that I think it's paper seeing as I've been arguing the opposite for so long and so vocally here.

Many economists, politicians, unions, etc and unfortunately a whole lot of citizens think it's paper.  I guess that's why the Fed prints off so much of it.  They think they can make those resources and factories magically more productive if they just print more and more paper with dead Presidents on them.  

But I find it interesting that you would make the point about paper.  Perhaps you understand the difference between money and wealth after all.

You do know that the bills the printing office (not the Fed) supplies are but a small percentage of the cash in the economy.... don't you?

Nobody buys a car or a house, no business purchases supplies with greenbacks.  There may be a petty cash box for small purchases, but checks, credit, wire transfers, etc are the big movers of wealth.

you'd probably do what you did last time, and wait to see who is going to win before commiting to any conflict. Seems to me in the last war you guys we're thinking of going with the German till after the BoB.

Soviet jokes about Chinese.

That's like trailerfolk in Alabama making fun of white trash in Georgia.

Do trailerfolk from Alabama launch spaceships?

I'm probably one of the 0.1% of Russians who can understand what you mean.

In USSR "Chinese threat" was absolutely real. I grew up in times when China was our greatest enemy, BTW, supported by the US. Do yo know that on Chinese maps printed in 1960s-70s Soviet Far East was painted as native Chinese land? Does Damanskiy island mean anything for you? Border guards at Chinese border were fighting a war until maybe 1990s. I have friends who served there, one of them got wounded in 1988 on one of the "questionable" islands on Amur.

As for jokes: Chinese soldiers seeing Soviet border guards "boasted" that they have some rice for lunch, then political officers decided to bring hot lunch directly to border patrols, so Chinese saw Soviet soldiers eating hot borsch with garlick buns, goulash and dessert... When underfed Chinese saw it - they started to scream "Revisionists! Bloody capitalist pigs!"... Soviet border guard dog got more food then a Chinese soldier.

Another joke:

Chinese military command plans an attack against USSR.

"Here we infiltrate Soviet border in small groups, no more then 2-3 millions each."

"And here go our TANKS!!!" - "Really? All three tanks in one place?!"

"And here are targets for our aviation strikes!" - "Sorry, not now, our pilot is sick".

At Damanskiy island several Chinese divisions were stopped and then destroyed by one Soviet border-guard squad and a tank platoon, later supported by BM-21 jet-mortar batallion.
