What if Africa, South America and Middle East unite, do business with each other, and help each other against European and American powers, I think they could win.
Although their population may be poor or uneducated, They have the bulk of land, minerals, oil, and ppl need to control the world.
If they give the finger to Super powers and boycott them and trade with each other, they could literally destroy anybody who opposes them. They have the power to take control but do they have the will to unite?
America and Europe are nothing with out these continents they call third world.

Ironman i tottally agree saxib most of the earths resources are in these regions and if they work together they could stop the wests manopoly of the resources.

Africans -

delusions of grandeur sxb. Its easier said than do. As someone who has lived in all these three continents I can tell you first hand perception(prime being gringo mentality and following), self pity, victimization and socialism is the prime culprit here. Putting all those aside, the dependency on western world cannot be let go immediately as they still control most technological advancements needed for efficient growth in all these emerging markets. I think America Latina, especially Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Paraguay and to an extent Ecuador are on the right track and will up the ante with the west if they continue to grow at the current pace they are in. Having raw resources alone cannot propel contries GDP growth.

you are 200 yrs late, this question has been settled long time go. blame yo grandparents who let this westerners came to thier countries and let them colonized them.

Sxb instead of letting these super-powers divide and conquer you, and take your resources, but then don't do business with you as a partner or give you the respect and freedom you deserve, putting sanctions on you, if you don't follow their rules, and refusing you to obtain certain types of weapons or power, why don't you turn the tables against them. just leave them altogether and don't give them attention, ignore them for good.

They are addicted to your oil, your raw materials and they are dependant on your cheap labor and your consumerism. just cut the ties with them and instead switch you loyalism to countries that are on your level. start your own UN organization for developing countries of Africa, Latin America and Middle East countries and give every one equal opportunity and power.

They would come begging after you to come back to them, and give them the attention they deserve.

Ironman...lol.

You see, in an ideal world that might work. In the real world tho, there is such a thing as the WTO, by way of the westerners with all of those the contractual agreements, that would never let it happen. Africa and the countries u mentioned never really had a problem with lack of resources. It was always about the distribution and the management of em. Like neoclonialism, the rules are set, and they just have to play with em, or else they are kicked out of the WTO and no other country thats in it gets to trade with em. Its enough that the Westerners are already freaking out about the unusual players that are up and coming on the block these days, i.e China in Africa, and India and Brazil's growing sphere of influence within their regions. NO Way, what u are predicting seeing the light of a single day!
