the threat to 75% of the world's
wealth?... that is held by a country comprising 20%
of the world's population?


No country holds 75% of the worlds wealth or even anywhere close to that.

China and India are the only countries with close to 20% of the world's population (but neither has quite that much) and neither of them is the world's richest country.

The US is the richest country but has nowhere near either 75% of the world's wealth or 20% of the world's population. Maybe 5% of the population and 20% or a bit more of the worlds gross production. I know gross production is not the same was wealth but there is no way we have anywhere close to 75% of the world's wealth.

The rest of the post is also rather silly.
