This is interesting, but it’s strange that you would challenge the quality of information due to a missing SSL certificate and then cite Wikipedia, a site renowned for being unreliable and not authoritative.
Wikipedia claims to be up to date, but it relies on World Bank data from 2021. The article (now articles) being contested purport to rely on more recent data, claiming that Russia moved up for the first time since 2014 in 2022 – a year and dataset that is not (yet) captured by Wikipedia.
In good faith, this could be because the 2021 numbers are for the per capita figures, and the 2022 numbers for the PPP figures. But that’s rather favourable and would also suggest that per capita and PPP are incomparable. The one cannot be used to dispute analysis based on the other, especially if the person collecting the data treats them as different.
Regardless, if you read the link you posted and arrange the table by GDP (nominal) per capita using data from the IMF, World Bank, or UN, most of the top countries are tax havens! At least 3/10 (IMF), 9/10 (World Bank), and 6/10 (UN). (To be fair, the UN discounts some of those from it’s numerical ranking even if they are still in the top ten.)
There’s even a warning:
Many of the leading GDP-per-capita (nominal) jurisdictions are tax havens whose economic data is artificially inflated by tax-driven corporate accounting entries.
This data does show something important, albeit unrelated to the original post: the Anglo-European empire, claiming to have no money to improve living standards while it’s people freeze, overheat, starve, and suffer from preventable or treatable illnesses, is already at war with it’s domestic citizens. Otherwise those tax havens wouldn’t exist. The problem for the ‘cost of living crisis’ for ordinary westerners is nothing to do with Russia (or China) but is due to the fact that it’s wealthiest have absconded with all the ‘disposable income’.

Awesome reply 👍
if you’re disputing the numbers quoted please do provide a trustworthy source
Here are two examples, Yogthos. And rigour of the highest order is guaranteed because the site owners filled in their SSL certificates.

That’s right never assume malice when stupidity will suffice.

I think AnonymouseJoker is referring to their username (Otan) instead of their display name (Manderlorian).

a person supporting nato = cia? y’all need to chill, this isn’t nearly important enough to demand such attention bruh
I also don’t believe he’s paid, which makes it even worse really.

you’ll probably not help that by accusing everyone with an opinion you dislike of being a cia, then it’ll be more like an eco chamber 🤷♀️

I don’t see much in common between the way leftists use “CIA”, rightists use “CIA”, and liberals use “RUSSIAN SABOTEUR!”
The latter has replaced pinko. The second means Jews. The first means the actual CIA.
all of them are a useless insult used to avoid addressing the point
Nah. It’s entirely fair and straight-to-the-point to tell people when they unwittingly reflect state department talking points.
Why shouldn’t you? Because it hurts your feelings to discover you’re eating dogshit, not chocolate? Who cares?
The other two are just fantasy.
because a talking point of some state department isn’t inherently right or wrong, rather you should evaluate the point on its own merit
