You forget that the remarkable growth enjoyed by Western countries fuelled by science is mostly only possible because they have historically given themselves access to the entire world's natural resources, sometimes with the cooperation of non-West people, sometimes in spite of them. Nobody on this planet stands alone. We all depend on the Sun ultimately. Let's stop this game of "I'm better" and "You're better", and recognise that for better or worse, science and connectivity have made this one planet, one humanity and a whole lot of common problems we need to address. Erecting more walls may delay the inevitable but won't last forever, IMO. Human growth and science have a way of breaking all barriers given time.
