When other countries try and do anything similar, which can include just broaching the subject of nationalizing resource extraction, their (often democratically elected) governments get overthrown in a coup by some fascist government with mysterious connections to the CIA who will always give production contracts to Western companies.
And if that fails, just starve ("sanction") them until they comply.
Examples:
- Guatemala (1954) [1]
- Cuba (1952 and the many later attempts to assassinate Castro) [2]
- Iran (1953) after the Iranian parliament passed legislation to nationalize the oil industry [3]
- Syria (1949) [4]
- Congo (1960) [5]
There are dozens of these.
These countries aren't mysteriously poor. They haven't failed. They have been active exploited and their wealth stolen.
