AI Summary

I can see the headline and source, but the excerpt provided contains only a link without the article text. To write an accurate 3-5 sentence summary grounded in the actual reporting, I need the article body or a more complete excerpt that details: what specific IMF actions or statements the Council on Foreign Relations is criticizing, which country or countries are being described as "victims," and what policy changes the piece is arguing for. Please provide the article text or a fuller excerpt, and I'll deliver a sharp, factual summary immediately.

Should this be getting more attention?
