they’ve already seen how predatory World Bank and IMF are

Idk, they've bailed out entire nation's failing economies. It's not like they started repossessing furniture or anything, lol.

EDIT: I do admit they can be weaponized by refusing to work with nations on the basis of political alignment.

IMF have usually demanded austerity which usually leads to government schemes for the poors to be cut. They also demand political alignment to western demands.

They don't respossess the furniture but they do require it to be sold
