And what exactly have they developed? And where's the evidence they developed it? I sure don't see it.

I won't argue weather this is true or not but i can tell you this; Nobody but nobody is making a mad dash to any 3rd world country for the medical breakthroughs they have developed. And that's a fact.

Depends on who your callin dumb. Seems to me it's not the folks in X5world, but it sure seems to be the suits who think they know it all when in fact critical reasoning escapes them. The common person has sense enough to see where this world is headed but the idiots at the top are blinded by their own power. Wanna call somebody dumb? there's your target.
But i've got news for you. The fate that all of us are heading for will have nothing to do with just this country, and it will be a lot more serious than you think.
