Gazillions

If you look up the current gross national products of nations, you will find something like this.

1. USA 25 Gazillion

2.  Europe about 21 Gazillion

3.  China 18  Gazillion

4. Japan  5 Gazillion

and so on. Russia comes in tenth with less than 2 Gazillion.

So in the Ukraine war, 2 Gazillion is going against more than 46 Gazillion. But Russia has some support from China and Iran.  

What do I see in person-on-the-street interviews in Russia? (You can watch these interviews on YouTube. There is no science to them.)

Apparently many ordinary Russians believe they live in the world's most powerful country, one with a manifest destiny: to restore the golden age when children were straight and obedient and women didn't speak.
