Talk:Debt-to-GDP ratio
The national debt is not necessarily a money debt. RobSThe Truth. Just Putin It Out There 11:48, September 17, 2024 (EDT)
Let's use analytical thinking on this phrase, "growth for the BRICS countries in 2025 is also better — approximately 3.4% as a group — which outpaced the global average for the NATO countries of 2.8% and the G7's 1.2%".
G7 are supposedly or at one time billed as the "world's 7 biggest economies" (they are not, cause China, Russia, and India are not members). But anyway, the 2.8% overall average for NATO countries is obviously being dragged down by the largest NATO members' with their debt burdens. This means the smaller members have higher growth rates than 2.8%, probably matching or even exceeding the BRICS average. With the defeat of the NATO war in Ukraine, those smaller NATO members now are seriously thinking of abandoning NATO altogether, with NATO's demands to spend more on so-called "defense", go into debt and cut social programs in order to buy useless weapons from the American MIC, and join BRICS rather than being dragged down any further with the G7 and NATO losers.
