Stop it. At this time you have been proven wrong and wrong again you are grabbing irrelevant information and changing topics. I proved NATO partners do not control key resources or have bigger economic outputs. I listed resources generated, consumed, industrial output, industrial consumption, and scientific output. You gave the ICT market share. First off, that is still under "service demands are bullshit because they pay more for same shit without growing the economy". Second that is not representative of economy size, a shift of your goal post. Third, giving you benefit of doubt here, let's say ICT is representative of economy, what is there to stop China from updating windows or pirate them? Will the economy be in shambles if denied of the software? The answer is no. Next thing you know you will be saying US has more social media share therefore bigger economy."As of 2023, the U.S. region accounted for nearly 36 percent of the global information and communication technology (ICT) market share. The EU and China ranked as the second and third biggest regions, each accounting for a market share of over 11 percent."
So EU + US controls nearly 50% of the ICT market, while China controls just 11%. Not surprising when you consider the most popular operating systems in use in China are still iOS, Android, and Windows.
I'll give you Belarus, but Kazakhstan? The same Kazakhstan that's been refusing to extradite Russian dissidents and condemning Russian actions in Ukraine? The same one that's seeking closer ties to the US? Russia's influence in Central Asia is vastly overrated today. None of those countries can be considered close partners of China's or Russia's.
As I said, the Global South cannot be counted on. They will court both sides.
One example of Kazakhstan not extridate dissidents does not invalidate its close relation with Russia. As a CSTO member they are in military alliance same as NATO equivalent. During the protest Russia deployed military units into the country. That is not something a random third party country allows. Using your logic we may as well remove Hungary out of NATO because they are not 100% on board with Ukraine stuff. Or removing every NATO member who did not donate to Ukraine.
From failure to read simple map size to shifting goal post this is getting embarrassing.
