Therein lies the crux of the situation. On one hand she is absolutely right. As in Africa, Global South countries are reacting to economic outreach from China and Russia because a) they need it and America (private nor public) isn’t in the game and b) help from China and Russia doesn’t appear to come with as many strings as U.S. assistance might demand.
it would be funny if they help global South countries build up productive forces, but that goes against everything U.S. is about. America doesn’t even have a domestic Marshall plan.
The US doesn’t have the capability to do shit like that anymore. Rate of profit is way too anemic.
i disagree, U.S. is plenty capable, third most populous country, vast resources, its political system needs a purge
. i would love to see actual competition between China, Russia and the U.S. it would be the best for the Global South but instead we have the U.S. and the west strangling the Global south through its institutions like the IMF.USSR helped Global South countries tremendously, something which worried the US and forced it to provide economic aid to its own puppets.

The US is its political system, the population and resources are just incidentally here also.
The federal government showed that it will replace a population if it has too.
America didn’t have a domestic marshall plan when they implemented the actual marshall plan. They needed to rally against the soviet union with the Luftbrücke and all and now that China is taking that place they might do it again. People keep wondering about how laborers in europe are better off than the ones in the US but the reason is that if europe had american labor conditions they couldn’t have made all the doctors and scientists move west.
The only thing that could stop them is probably that they don’t have the public capital that they had immediately after ww2.
But then again, Gen. Laura Richardson, SOUTHCOM commander, is a military officer,not a diplomat or humanitarian program lead at USAID.
Classic military
manwoman. For them, we are the enemy, the southern continent, the population occupying their backyard. Gringos culiaos.These people should NEVER talk publicly about these things.
Damn imperialist pigs

No no. I’ve got a much better idea!!
Let’s overthrow their current governments and install our puppets; so we can pillage their natural resources.
There should be no consequences from that, right?
They’ve been saying this and keep creating half-measures that go nowhere
Why?
The US needs its own marshall plan.
Let’s just perpetuate war everywhere!
