It is always somebody else’s fault that you can’t be productive.

Other people do not owe you a living. Life was much better when people and countries minded their own business.

The CCP is raping the earth everywhere you look, looting her for the ancient forests in Africa, polluting the oceans with poisons and gagging her with plastic waste, yet the Democrats are craning their asses even higher to take their money right up the chocolate canal. Thanks Nancy!

come good with billions of dollars of promised aid to help them escape poverty

That's like a person in his 20s or early 30s saying he is rich because his parents support him. You still are poor if someone else is paying the bill. You just ain't broke yet.

“...help them escape poverty and battle climate change...”

Right.

Giving poor people money does not bring them out of poverty.

Giving them money encourages them not to work.

Central African Republic's president told the UN Least Developed Countries meeting in Doha that his resource-rich but impoverished nation was being "looted" by "Western powers".

If they actually have exploitable natural resources and provided a stable environment for Western corporations to extract some of those natural resources, they would be wealthy, not impoverished. (I'm guessing that they use some of the same economic advisers as the Biden administration.)

Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!! You took this crap seriously? The Globalists were just virtue signaling. They didn’t mean you were going to get any actual money.

Suckers.

Hmmm..., looking at the picture I can't help but wonder if there is another component at work here.

Nah, that would be (fill in the blank).

Annandale that is what it’s all about- not climate change, but rather taking mo ey from rich nations, by force, and giving it to nations so that they can be rich like us.

Only problem is that only their dictator leaders,and ilk will become rich. The poor apparently think they have a right to other people’s money, and if they don’t get it, they get mad evidently.

“Climate Change” is just the latest scam to transfer money from countries that through work and initiative EARNED their money to lazy and backward and corrupt countries that didn’t.

Battling climate change is no way to combat poverty. Climate is your FRIEND, not an adversary, and should be treated as such. Taking advantage of the local climate may even be a way that leads to prosperity, but it is a necessity to adapt to that climate, and deal accordingly.

Your land is a desert? Fetch water to it, and make the desert bloom. The greatest source of water is the ocean, saline though it may be. The answer is simple, desalinate the sea water. All it takes is heat.

Heat which may be supplied by a very small nuclear reactor. The nuclear reactor is set up to run what is essentially an enormous still, boiling the sea water down into brine, and discharging the brine back to the ocean. The steam rising off this brine is sent to a condensing tower, and the water collected is pure enough for purposes of drinking, sanitation, and the irrigation of crops, WITHOUT the steady accumulation of saline in the soil which comes from using either rainfall/snow melt, or well water from an aquifer, as the irrigation water source.

Your land is a low-lying topography at near sea level? Adapt the architecture of buildings to stand against the effects of foundations submerged, and attached to the bedrock that is down there somewhere, and again develop as a place that can take advantage of the topography, as a harbor or shipping port for merchants and light manufacturing. This will require abundant electrical and hydrocarbon fuel supplies, and the use of again an array of very small nuclear nuclear reactors, the designs of which already exist and even in operation on a commercial basis.

Building this kind of infrastructure is the means by which poverty of nations shall be erased, and a new age of plenty rises in the world. Sure, it involves using the principles of capitalism, abandonment of various socialist schemes (none of which has ever worked as proposed), and a general upgrading of the skill levels of the general population by education while paying a decent wage as a reward for exercising a respectable work ethic.

Victims and beggars need not apply.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, whose country of 170 million is scheduled to graduate out of LDC status

Bangladesh is a good example of what to DO to get out of "Least Developed Country" status - vs Pakistan.

Bangladesh has focused on making it easy to do business in the country and has cracked down on Islamic funadmentalism

Yes, there are poor people earning $1 a day working in clothing factories in Bangladesh - but the alternative is $0 per day. And these ladies are sending their kid (not kids) to school so the next generation is better

And note "kid" - the Bangladeshis have halved their # of children per woman to about 2, their child poverty levels have gone down heavily while their literacy levels have risen

Pakistan did the opposite and even though it was in a better position in 1971, today Bangladesh is surging ahead and is an example for other countries to follow

I’m certain that every one of these craphole countries is run by corrupt leaders that have looted their own treasuries.

The resource-rich African countries are being looted because their greedy, corrupt leaders allow it.
