Then they can starve. Simple as that. Without the US they would have nothing, a small wage is better than no wage.

You seem to have this inane idea that before the USA came along, there were no people in third-world countries. Want to go back to the roots of globalisation? How about the UK in India. Oh look, we caused a famine by imposing, as the home secretary put it, "the iron rule of market forces" upon them. It was more profitable to export grain than to sell it to the natives. Result? A million Indians starve to death. UK trading in in China just before the turn of the century? Same goddam story. Your argument is based on the principle that "well, we've already forced them to bend over before f*cking them ragged, now it's the best they're gonna get."

Without the US they would not have nothing, they would have what they always had had. Because of the US they have next to nothing, and NOW, because of what the Western world has done to them, without the US they would have literally nothing.
