Global South needs to recognise that for now it needs to go it alone. At some point and relatively soon, the west will follow suit. The problem is things have to be eviscerate here for that to happen. That's the unfortunate consequence of collective stupidity and arrogance.

Ideologies will be seen in history as the key driver behind the demise of the west.
