Firstly, the USA is not the oldest democracy. And now to the juicy bit. You mention countries like South Korea and Taiwan that invested in their people due to the fact they have no natural resources yet natural resource rich country's population still lives in poverty. What you FAILED to mention is that there are many factors that contribute to this and most of those factors are driven by western countries. Look at factors like, Colonial Legacy,Post-Colonial Interference, Unequal Trade Terms, Debt and Structural Adjustment, Resource Extraction Dynamics, Governance and Corruption, Lack of Diversification. The fact that AI can't survive without these poor country's rare earth minerals should tell you the reason why western countries keep these countries poor through the WTO & IMF. Perhaps your next episode should be on the corrupt western backed financial institutions that impose strict debt relief policies that in layman's terms keeps these countries poor due to the fact that it forces these countries to cut their social spending and privatize state assets. That's just the tip of the iceberg. We won't even get into how western nations maintain coups and civil wars and place dictators in power in many of these wealthy natural resource countries to ensure their status quo. If we have learnt anything in history it is that no matter how great nations pretend to be there will come a time that these nations will fall. Some western countries at present have idiots in charge, BRICS is growing and the world dynamic is on the brink of a huge shift so there may be gloom in the near future but what is certain is that change is inevitable and the west is definitely under threat but they themselves may be the cause of their own demise.
