Brilliant comparison, shadester, a failed petro state mired down in a no-win war VS a country with a far stronger economy, unless YOU don't like 3.5% unemployment, no recession and inflation sharply down from a year ago.

I posted the reason for the fitch downgrade; the f'ing GOP debt ceiling hike shenanigans and the shit governance revealed from that and the 1/6 insurrection. Go back and read it. After all, it's Fitch telling you why.
