        Paper float on blood though. Anyway, it’s not gonna collapse tomorrow, but their military might is largely overestimated, the sheer amount of money thrown at MIC hide the gigantic corruption - if we compare the actual worth they would still be on top of the list but with margin much less than the numbers suggest. Good example would be the current war which show every NATO army including USA would only have supplies for few weeks of industrial scale warfare.
