Lol holy fuck...
OK so they find the term "Global South" confusing geographically (South Korea is in the ‘Global North’, and North Korea in the ‘Global South’, what a conundrum) and economically (tax havens have high GDP which apparently means they're rich lol).
Of course they proceed using the term "Western states" repeatedly without getting confused over implied geography! Germany is to the east of France and China is to the west of Japan, how do you tell which ones are Western?
They also repeatedly use the term "neo-imperialist" in relation to China and Russia not bothering to explain what "neo-imperialism" is supposed to be and how those states fit that description.
Anyway, their actual gripes are with the following:
The horror! The rightful place of The West as slave owners and colonisers is under attack, and other nations expect their needs to be heard rather than The West rolling over everything as they did for centuries. The West needs to exercise some of that good old military "hard power" against them, no more mister nice guy!
But enough about what they don't like! What would they actually like? The answer to that is in the link at the bottom, here are my highlights:
In short - more of the good old imperialism to combat the "neo-imperialism"! More spooks, more propaganda, more meddling both diplomatic and economic via "aid" programs... And first and foremost, more escalation against China and Russia.
