It’s not the 4th largest economy in the world, but it does contain 11% of the Earth’s habitable land. It would be sad if they couldn’t create a large economy with all that land.

Oh yes, our European allies. Since both of us are Europeans, and “we” like to lambast Russia. Obviously. But you, as a fellow ally of Europe, you’re wisely pointing me to a thing that you and I may need to consider about Russia, that you and I may have missed.
I wasn’t trying to say that you wore a flag. I am certainly American, I just was responding to the “we.”
