Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Have any countries actually just said "We're not paying you back" to the IMF? I assume they'd be kicked out of trade organizations and whatnot but I'm curious if that might not be a better option...
See Correa, Rafael:

Thanks, I'll give it a read later!
Interesting, so according to the articles there was no substantive backlash from the IMF/World Bank, though Lula's Brazil did exert enough pressure that they gave in on that specific bilateral debt. Still, the takeaway seems to be that it's definitely viable.
Out of curiosity, it claims that's a 3-part series but I can't find part 3. You know if it exists?
Sorry I have no clue whether or not it exists or not. It might be on the French side of the internet because the author is French, but I'm not sure.
No problem, thanks for the interesting read!
Ecuador during the 2000's/2010's, but I think Argentina and Brazil helped Ecuador so there was no backlash
