Now I'm wondering how climate change and resource shortages will affect the friction between international capital and the national/regional fascist groups it usually puppeteers. Like if the US tomorrow told ukraine "Hey mack, we're only gonna keep sending you party poppers if you give us 25% of your fresh water".
Totally. That's basically how it works now. I recently read The Jakarta Method and the efforts these fash go through to open their countrys' resources to exploitation for such a small cut is mind boggling. And if the people try, even electorally, to take even the slightest bit for themselves, out come the death squads. Look at that shit that went down in Bolivia, or how they're going after AMLO for trying to nationalize Mexico's Lithium mines. Millions dead so local fascist assholes can cuck themselves to richer, global assholes.
I wouldn't say it's about keeping a leash, so much as aligned interests.
