    You did not address the point I made which is that the situation has clearly improved.

    Yeah and you did not address the point I made which is the situation got gravely worse and is abjectly horrible

     Same goes for Germany and most of the EU, what’s your point here?
    

    You love having a selective understanding of economics. Small underdeveloped economy, small percentage growth = very bad. Large global economy, small percentage growth = good. Remember how we were talking about global south markets in the other thread? What happened to all of that?

    What point are you even trying to make here?

    I was trying to make a joke, because attempting to qualify Assad support is the lulziest shit when he's effectively an absolute monarch of a ruin.

      That's not the point being debated here. You claimed that Syria is not a viable state, and so far you haven't actually managed to defend that position.

      You love having a selective understanding of economics.

      I don't have a selective understanding of economics. Large global economy that was built on having cheap energy is now in serious trouble because it was cut off from it. Anybody who has a clue about economics would understand how dire the situation is for Germany. Their competitors now have much cheaper input costs, and companies are closing down and laying off people left and right as a result.

      In fact, the global south markets are a big part of the reason why Germany is in trouble right now. Chinese companies are eating their lunch all over the world.
