The World Bank and IMF generally don't (and can't) call in loans so I don't know what you're trying to say there. Sometimes what happens is shithole countries default on their debts and then whine about injustice when lenders refuse to extend the terms.

It is injustice. Loans are not just social mechanisms to begin with. There's nothing "just" about the west's domination of the globe; and in fact, justice would look like the west paying out to the rest of the world and expecting nothing back.

Not that the west ever gave a fuck about justice beyond intraclass squabbling
