Or possibly not. Dambisa Moyo has argued in her books on economics that the "they need help" motive behind aid to Africa has resulted only in dependence and corruption and precious little advancement. She is Zambian but is essentially persona non grata in Zambia because her argument is a direct attack on the prevailing government ethos of seeking "investment" which really turns out to be selling off the national resources for pennies, so long as the government officials receive substantial kickbacks. It continues daily.
That aid has always been a scam that corrupt governments take that money to send it elsewhere.
When I say help.
I am assuming you get rid of the Cabal. That you have white hats installed.
Let's cut to the chase. What will happen in that event would be more properly the U.S. declaring Haiti as a protectorate under U.S. governorship, for the institution of law and order, and the conduct of honest elections. I think you can see that we have a lot of work to do on our part, before we can step into another nation's life.
I agree.
I am saying that the Cabal has fucked up so many nations.
At most we owe them to at least get rid of the corruption western organizations.
I wouldn’t mind leaving a super small military assistance team to train them on self protection.
If we fucked to a nation. Leaving them blind isn’t right.
We can do a bare minimum.
The "bare minimum" will never be enough. We have seen so much "mission creep" in our lifetimes, we should be wiser than that. Pull out the bad U.S. elements, I agree. But we have too much on our plate to "sort them out" according to our lights.
Here's another point: We did not create the corrupt natives. They were home-grown. If the people cannot curtail or eliminate corruption on their own, it will simply never happen. You want an example in progress, go to Zambia. Wonderful place. Wonderful people. But profuse moral cowardice and casual corruption. Easily disguised as business deals.
