Especially dumb as the US has benefited a lot from said order.

Yeah, I wonder why people want the "rules-based international order" to end, maybe it's because they're the ones on the shit end of the stick?

Perun

Garbage NATO propaganda channel, about as reliable to give you an honest summary of what is happening as listening to the Ukrainian government itself.

WW2 was won (not wholly, but in large part) due to the larger economy being on the allies side

On the Soviet's side*, 80% of Germany's casualties were in the Eastern Front.

Did you keep reading to the part about low level satisfaction with local government.

I did, did you? Or are you just skimming the introductory article for something "negative" to comment on?

You're painting a pretty disingenuous picture, the satisfaction levels for local government are lower than for the central government but they're still pretty good:

Do you believe that 75% or more of Americans believe their local representatives are "Knowledgeable", "Kind" or that they feel "Satisfied with [the] Eventual Outcome" of their decisions?

It’s more complicated than you summarise.

I didn't summarize anything, I pasted a direct quote from the article you seem to not have read:

You mean when China and other countries have been fudging the numbers on their supposed GDP

The closer China gets to America's nominal GDP the more I see this delusion spread around. No, unlike what YouTube clickbait tells you, the IMF, World Bank and United Nations are not all conspiring together to artificially inflate China's GDP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)#Table

It’s biggest industry’s is house building

Bullshit, it's 52.8% services, 39.9% industry and 7.3% agriculture: https://www.statista.com/statistics/270325/distribution-of-gross-domestic-product-gdp-across-economic-sectors-in-china/

it’s just been building fake cities

Another bullshit talking point: 2018 Forbes - Ghost Towns Or Boomtowns? What New Cities Really Become

Today, China’s so-called ghost cities that were so prevalently showcased in 2013 and 2014 are no longer global intrigues. They have filled up to the point of being functioning, normal cities -- ex-ghost cities are rarely news.

coexistence

Which is not what is happening since Bolivia is using the Yuan for trades that were previously made in USD.

Links to a logical fallacy Wikipedia article and doesn't respond to a single point, Liberals are not sending their best!

Like seriously, this account is called the Shanghai Panda.

They're sharing videos and pictures from people who were at the protests, you should be engaging with the content that the account posted, not with the account's username.

Vetted it probably has been, as for it being vetted for truthfulness...
