The USA is currently running a ~150% trade deficit, meaning the USA imports 1.5X more $ worth of goods and services than it exports.
You can also express a trade deficit as a percentage with the following equation:
(Exports - Imports) / GDP = Trade deficit or surplus percentage of GDP.
But why ask a question that is not pertinent to the discussion in any way shape or form? In doing so you are effectively derailing the thread Scron style.
like ah sed. iran is a relatively rich country. and by your 200% deficit metric, compared to the US, it is only 25% worse off than the US of Anus.
iran is ahead of the US by a multitude of degrees and metrices. sex change for trannies was already mainstream and legal long before homosexuals agenda went mainstream in the US. -

well its like, yes and no.
maybe you have seen the krugman-bernanke meme and thought that GDP is a joke and that may be true for countries with "fake" economy like the US of anus, but ....
but GDP is still a good measuring stick for countries with REAL, POTENT, productive economy like the rest of the world that still have their industrial bases.
if you see a statement like 60% of russian GDP comes from exporting natural gasses, then you can be sure that indeed, 3/5th of russian economy is supported by the activities of digging and cannistering of these natural gasses.
because unlike the US, russians dont make money by trading derivatives of derivatives of derivatives of derivatives of natural gasses amongst themselves over barrels of vodka.
GDP is still, and will remain to be a valid yardstick to measure economic output of a country, a state, a continent, a village or a bunch of sex workers irregardless of what you feel about it, you may not like it,
but it is what it is. -

economic activity inside a system (country), especially when considering a lot of it is unproductive, is not a sensible way to compare one system (country) to anotherThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

As for the USA one, I used OEC trade data as well. Notice that I also gave rough approximations of this data, nothing precise answers.
It doesn't bother you that for whatever reason oil isn't included in that? -

Originally posted by ner vegas US is deploying THAAD complexes in israel, ostensibly because israel intends to return fire after Iran's missile barrage and is worried about getting an even larger barrage in return.
it'll be interesting to see how it performs; their simulated combat testing has been questionable and it needs to be significantly more precise than other ABMs - rather than exploding near a missile and using shrapnel to destroy it, the 'warhead' is basically just a metal rod meant to directly strike an incoming ballistic missile in the terminal phase.
given that a direct hit requires greater accuracy and modern ballistic missiles can often manoeuvre in the the terminal phase as well as the tracker being susceptible to radio interference, it has a lot of challenges to overcome
this will be a premier everyones been waiting for since reTHAADs are deployed all around china. -

thats is asssuming that you want to use irish GDP to infer about irishes' living standard, which may be true, but ....
but sometimes we just want to gauge irelands soft power. where did the money that fund their government come from, what are its strategic importance, and things that can be done to influence its politics and national policies.
to find out who really owns it and to predick its future political/financial climate.
its a flawed method to measure a certain things but its not entirely useless. -
