French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon:
Gross domestic product. I dig a hole, GDP goes up. I fill it in, GDP goes up.
I get into my car, drive into a wall, GDP goes up because we have to rebuild the wall and repair the car.
GDP is just a monetary valuation.
@softbunnypaws_ Real talk, in a total war scenario where both sides commit fully. I could see africa winning every battle but being unable to maintain an occupation. Africa probably takes italy and turkey, maybe spain too but would struggle to maintain an occupation larger than that.
