Most countries consent to us bases

The united states isnt a colonial power

Europe was sure

It is inevitable that certain countries will dominate the world, that's the way it is. Study IR

? Thats just a fact

yeah invading the midldle east is just normal stuff

Us just can do it

Just like the nazis, i mean who can blame them? Its inevientable that certain countrys dominate the world

no s***

This is not a thing they teach you in IR lol

And the US was a colonial power

wow imagine believing this bullshit lmfaoooooo

this post smells like racism

i dont support the iraq war and never did

prove your claim or f*** off

Only absolute extreme poverty has. Relative poverty has risen and non-extreme poverty hasn't decreased.

Absolute poverty has far from plummeted in Africa lol

Some c***talmbout do u speak for africa like hes african stfu pls!

u deleted your post lmfao

and look at your username and u r a f***ing caucasian talking about middle east n s*** f*** you know about it

yes it has, look it up

i lived in turkey for a while when i was younger and am interested in the geopolitics of the region

plus not all people from the middle east think the same way

The decrease has been the smallest in Africa, second only to Europe and Central Asia, where there wasn't that much absolute poverty in the first place. So no.

europe and central asia did have absolute poverty in the past. in fact id wager that if you go back to like the 19th century most europeasn and central asians lived in what we would today consider absolute poverty

^^ have a look

nations such as rwanda, botswana etc are growing and improving

it is true it has been slower though, no denial there, but it is happening

also fertility rate alone isnt a good metric of total aggregate poverty falls

This is from 1960 my guy, if you're in any way trying to compare those two regions' poverty levels at that time then you're showing your ignorance.

But either way, the decrease we see in global poverty almost completely depends on how low you set the poverty line, besides China (and some Latin American countries under socialist governments during the pink tide), poverty really hasn't decreased that much at all if you take a more realistic poverty line.

It's no coincidence that Western-dominated international institutions such as the World Bank basically only acknowledge the $2,- a day poverty line (which is ridiculously low).

The effects of neocolonialism.

this is relative poverty included

plus the $2 poverty line isnt bad for this reason, 2 dollars usd gets you further in developing countries, it's the equivalent in domestic currency which is counted

we are talking about absolute poverty, which is set at a level at which clothing, housing, sanitation etc arent accessible

Relative poverty is different, relative poverty is when you have less yes, but not as bad as absolute at all, we care more about the drop in absolte poverty and once that occurs, we work on relative

thank you for engaging me without hurling insults tho, ultimately falls in poverty are a win for me

if it bothers you that much i changed my name then, done.
