Note that this has been the reality of countries in the Third World who aligned themselves with the US, a foreign power whose interests were misaligned with theirs.
The US is now having a taste of their own medicine.
Not just the third world. Plenty of first-world countries too.
Now? The lower and middle class in the US has been dealing with this for decades.
