Russia. Those are vast regions of land where billions have been historically EXPLOITED, SUBJUGATED and ENSLAVED by "The West".
The Russians have done quite a good job of exploiting their own people, no need for the West's assistance there. Example: Perestroika. You'd think a resource-rich country with some of the wealthiest individuals on the planet (and arguably THE wealthiest person on the planet by a great distance if rumors of Putin's actual net worth are true) wouldn't have trouble providing the basics to its people....but over 20% of the country doesn't have access to indoor plumbing. That's totally the fault of the big evil "West", now isn't it?

As for LatAm and Africa, no argument there.
