You have no idea that a lot of people, including high profile analysts forgets this very crucial fact, and refuse to invalidate their analogy. You thought flat Earthers are ignorant enough, surprise surprise.

Many people think that money is money. They think money is what makes a nation strong, not products and services. I don't know how even highly educated people missed this part.

Money is a side effect of power, not the other way around.
