>Look at any other objective measurement. Percent of people living below the global poverty line adjusted for PPP. Median income, 25th percentile income.

HDI and Inequality adjusted HDI are not an objective measurement?

>Another thing is that for years USA was in a sense donating European industry,

Sure and Europe is not at all donating to US arms industry or to US tech sector? Europe is pretty liberal about letting US dominate those domains inside the EU, without opposing that. Plus in geopolitics it simply follows the US, that's sort of been the deal.

Seems like this US leadership thinks it can both have its cake and eat it.
