How long until they get some of the USA's patented Freedom™?

I actually don’t think they ever would, Morocco was the first country to acknowledge America’s independence, their people love the king, and they even sent artisans to Disney to build out their part of Epcot (? I’ve never been, Disney at least)

not an expert on that topic but im pretty sure the us could still feed its population without any fertilizer imports. but there are other global players that need imports of food and fertilizer to feed their ppl....

Which is why the US would absolutely want Morrocco to play by its rules, food will become the new oil.

As of 2019 the US was the 3rd largest Phosphorus Exporter, (way) behind Vietnam and Kazakhstan. We have so much Phosphate we also use it to hyper-age our Chickens, nevermind crop farming. Granted a lot of that comes from open pits mines in areas that were seafloor few hundred million years ago, so it's definitely "Non-renewable".

So Borat WAS actually just an ad for Kazakhstan and their Potassium?

There are plenty of other countries in similar situations, most of them continue to languish as third world hellscapes indefinitely. Neo-colonialism is a sophisticated game, it doesn't always require visible military intervention, rather far more carefully nurtured and calibrated corruption and puppeteering (although the odd assassination obviously has its place in their playbook). I would assume that the Feedom you're referring to is either going well and good within Morocco right now, or the seeds for it have been planted. People lose sight of just how sophisticated a game first world nations run.
