    look at brazil if you want an example of what might happen. we have deindustrialized for a stupid kind of service economy serving foreign products. even most of that is owned by foreign oligarchs of course. we just matter for the grain, oil or other primary (is that how you call it?) products our national burgeoise class can export tax-free in spite of the people probably needing it.

    we dont even have a big enough “middle class” for it to even pretend to work, it just unapologetically makes the western investors who employ and exploit us richer.

    lets see how much respect they really have for india and see where they go in their little club. im guessing not high up considering us history of not being trustworthy to the third world. maybe they get something for a bit if they turn into an outpost against china or something idk. different dynamics than south america for sure but still.
