The debt they owed to the IMF 😂 https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/imf-ethiopia-reach-staff-level-agreement-first-review-loan-program-2024-09-27/
Oh you mean where actual western debt trap was happening?
No it wouldn't, but I'm not expecting any sort of intellectual integrity from you here.
sure buddy
do you understand how money works? you know it's fungible, right?
even in your cartoon world, china is a member of the imf
and even if they weren't, the largest share of single-source debt was from china
i guess it's easier to defend a worldview if you just like...make stuff up?
said the person who cherry picked like 3 things to respond to, despite spending most of their life accusing others of cherry picking, and responded to them by making stuff up
okay let's pretend it's relevant
selling it services and equipment now absolves a country of guilt
wow, looks like the us is absolved of guilt to a comical degree
Unlike you, I do understand how money and debt works. The discussion is about debts issued by China and their long term impact, which every study shows to be positive. I guess it's easier to make a clown of yourself in public than actually learn about the subject you're attempting to debate.
except the ones you just linked, i guess?
you must have been very unlucky when picking which sources to show me :(
you know people only keep you off their blocklist because it's really funny watching the fediverse e-clown ply their trade every day, right?
The ones I linked provide a contrast between Chinese lending and IMF lending, but clearly that was too complex of an idea for you to grasp.
I just vastly overestimated your intellectual capacity.
I'd be so insulted by that if I had a shred of respect for you.
