Not really

Pretty poor

With a few oligarchs

Well they have all their assets in other countries

Overall the government is incredibly rich but the citizens are poor

Not really

By that logic there are almost no poor countries

Most governments are rich

Well what do you mean by rich?

Well I suppose you guys meant living standards

I consider rich being enough wealth to have a large infuence on the entire world

That’s called powerful

I don’t deny it’s powerful

Is India rich then

They have influence

Not really

Hardly any, they're the ones being influenced

Huh

American internet companies are essentially controlling them right now

They have a wayyy bigger economy than Russia

They help policians gain power

But only certain ones

Like what do you mean by influence

Control over others

India is basically completely controlled by other countries

Who do you think is building their infrastructures?

Other countries

That’s why no one can stop them from messing with their neighbours Pakistan

What other countries

Usa, russia, uk, france, germany

China

What did They build exactly

Industry pretty much is similar to China

Mhm it is

They are heavy exporters of all sorts of goods

From food to materials

Yes they are, which means they're at the mercy of others to keep their economy alive

That applies to everyone

Even US economy would crash if they didn’t trade with others

It’s normal

Trading is a good thing
