Reality and fiction meet in a bad way

[PvK]

Eh, but what the West has done for decades has been to go to "third world" countries, provide made up statistics about how their economy would "grow" and prosper if they had a modern Western infrastructure, "loaned" them a huge amount of money (which all gets paid to Western corporations) to build that infrastructure, resulting in a huge national debt, which the Western economists forecast would be easily paid off by the "economic growth" which doesn't happen, resulting in a perpetual "obligation" to the West.
