"more countries would be raised up economically but then ground down further"" Sorry. If the power blocs competed economically, then it would be in their interest to see economic development in the third world, since they would need as many healthy markets as possible. But, with the emphasis being on military, there is a strong tendency to use those countries as proxies and indirect ways to show the other blocs how effective their weapon systems are. So there will be exploiting of local tensions, arming of insurgents and all the other stuff we and the Soviets did through out the Cold War.
