which group of thirdies has the best chance of making it and not being a shithole forever?

SEA

completely and utterly delusional
all sea countries are already stuck in the middle income trap (if they've even made it that far) and their demographic pyramids are fucked
south east asia was already relegated to forever thirdie status back in 1997 with the financial crisis

saaaar

Mexico is on the verge of being first world, and will be once Trump legalizes MAID. All the dumb Americans will kill themselves with fentanyl, fentanyl sales will fall to 0, and cartels will move back into cotton, coffee and maize as their parents did.
>>
>>205677484
SEA
>>
>>205677554
South America is forever a corrupt narco continent
Arab world is incompetent, corrupt, and have nothing but oil
SEA has a rapidly growing population and new investment opportunities.
>>
>>205677554
latam is the homicidal capital of the world. they are too busy blaming everyone but themselves about why they are a shithole to ever not become a shithole. mena is too busy blowing itself up every decade aside from micro states in the arab peninsula which is more first world than anything in latam. SEA already has singapore which is first world and asians can become firstworld see korea in the 20th century.

>muh demographics
everywhere that isn't black as shit africa is declining in birthrates.
>>
seamonkeys and it isn't close

apparently malaysia is now considered first world
>>
>>205677473
actually firsties will become thirdies and everyone will live in a shithole dominated by a few billionaires.
>>
>>205677473
Probably Southeast Asia. Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Cambodia are politically stable and are all growing alright.
The only MENA countries that might prosper are those with oil, if they play their cards well and manage to diversify.
Latin America is an utter shithole that will never become anything worth of note. It might as well as fall below Sub-Saharan Africa in development indexes in the future.
>>
>>205677628
I could only see Vietnam and maybe the Philippines eventually developed cunts. If you actually look into the details of the rest of SEA, they're pretty much fucked
>>
>>205677595
>cartels will move back into cotton, coffee and maize as their parents did.
Avodcado is a big money maker. That and Mexico has the dry areas to pull off crops like Fonio.
>>
>>205677473
It will be individual countries and not whole groups that make it. The small oil states in MENA already made it while the remainder has no chance to ever make it.
My guess is next to succeed could be Vietnam. I would like to see El Salvador making it to prove that there is hope for crime ridden Latam states.

>Mexico is on the verge of being first world
There’s no way Mexico makes it to first world status without American intervention. The funny thing too is, it’ll probably be some dumbass second-generation beaner that hijacks our country for his own needs that does it.

With Mexico not really being able to claim American imperialism because everybody will be against it
>>
SEA

>>205677554
LatAm's population growth is just as bad. There is basically zero chance any country in the region industrializes anymore.

The only advantages we have is that ecologically we are relatively safe and we are far away from most world conflicts, but on the other hand all of our countries (sans Mexico) failed to deal with recent crises like the 2013 Commodity Crash and the 2020 Covid Pandemic completely.

Short of a benign AI that replaces completely our governments and judicial systems being developed, I don't think there is any hope for Latin America. And that isn't happening.

definitely SEA.

Why are the stans and Indian subcontinent omitted?
>which group of thirdies has the best chance of making it
MENA of course.
Maybe 3 or 4 countries in SEA will reach upper middle income status but that's about it. The one-percenter here are full of Chinese anyway.

mainland SEA
most of MENA is an ungodly hellhole

Turkey or Iran if they can reverse the brain drain

malaysia and singapore and first world

ass a whole obviously SEA
as a country argentina thanks to milei
>>
SEA or north africa
latinx america and the middle east are too dependent on natural resources and not sophisticated or secure enough for states to follow the norwegian model
>>
>>205680569
that said, most of both SEA and MENA have the muslim handicap that they will have to overcome
catholicism is probably not as big an issue for latinx america

Good one

Not a chance, we are poor yet the crime rate is low, a sign of being satisfied by mediocrity.

>muh demographics
LMAO @ you calling anyone delusional. If you're not anywhere close to Africa, your demographics are fucked, that includes latam too since you clearly haven't kept with their latest numbers this year. Arabs will forever be arabs with their retardation. SEA is the only decent option receiving investments from their neighbors and allies around.
Cope more cunt
>>
>>205680687
what matters is they're still poor as shit
obviously real countries like japan and norway are in different circumstances
>>

he's just jealous his cunt only got their money from selling coal, raw ore, and beef to china.
Providing "financial and tech service" (jewish middleman scam) is not a real industry btw

may have a chance if they don't end up stuck in the middle income trap

Red is too busy growing drugs for firsties, blue has long nose tribe and green has china giving them free money

if we could get rid of the cartels there is pretty much nothing else in the way of firstiefication, we just need a bukele

>>205677473
If I was betting man? SEA. Most of those countries TFR isn't in the gutter as LA or Mena. A lot of countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam still have untapped resources and minerals in comparison to the rest that they can still exploit. They a lot of room to grow and from personal experience, I know a lot of investors who are already putting their stake on ASEAN as the next big economic miracle.

I have no idea what's going with LA. Other than Europe, NA, and parts of Oceania, they have the most European ancestry, yet their government corruption and crime is worse than many of the SEA countries. You think they would have similar results to Europe in terms of economic output. But their TFR is also way below replacement level but their income isn't that high to compensate for it.

Milei is the most based leader and saved Argentina, one of the few things Reddit, X and FB all agree on

Mexico is probably going to be first world within the next decade or two simply because most of their retarded poorfags are boomers who voted for the PRI for the entire life and those are all going to be dying off in the next 10 to 20 years. I don't remember the exact figure but Mexicans born before 1990 have on average an IQ of 84 while Mexicans born after 1990 have an average IQ of like 96. Their boomers are quite literally the source of all their shittiness, yes including the narcos.

Mexico specifically is being near-shored by china to shift their local economy and garner geo-political favor in the continuing battle over collective hegemonic authority, i.e. BRICS - the world wants S.A . as an ally for its valuables and geographic position

>https://ig.ft.com/china-mexico-tariffs/

Too many SEA posts here, the region is valuable but only as puppet states, true sovereignty in the region would shift the global order, so no major power collective will ever allow it to emerge

MENA is borderline worthless beyond being a trading route, so extremely valuable only for the passage itself politically and economically

>TLDR
SEA is only good to be pimped,
MENA is an important highway
S.A. will be a divorce court child torn into opposing directions

Based on natural resource alone, south and central America BTFO the competition

geeeeeeeeeg literally the SEAcunt that has a decent population that won't make it along with Myanmar
Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia will be fine
Flipbeaners have no hope

>Mexico specifically is being near-shored by china to shift their local economy

Only about 9% of Mexican industry is Chinese investment. Most is American, Euro or Jap/Korean on top of that Mexico is starting to have its own domestic industries now. MAGAtards are just obsessed with Chinks and are flipping out because the Chinese built two car factories and some electronics parts facilities.
>>
>>205683117
What are you talking about? Indonesia is almost three as large as the Philippines in population and has a higher TFR. Vietnam is almost as large as the Philippines in terms of population and their TFR is the as par with the Pinoys, almost at replacement level. All three countries have high economic grow that's not really different from each other.
>>
1. Turkey becase they are white.
2. Mexico because we are 50% white
3. Brasil becsise they are 50% white
4. Argentina because is 70% white
5. Chile because is 50% white
6. Uruguay because is 50% white
8. Malaysia because they are chinese
9. North África because they are Asian
10. Thailand because they are Asían.

We were richer in the past when we didn't trade with China. And even if an industry is a scam, if it makes you rich then why not pursue it?

These 5 are all highly emerging markets and each have no manpower problem to sustain growth.
