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.
So why have the Q operation?
We don’t need Trump: We should be able to fix this corrupt system on our own right?
Last I heard, Trump and Q were part of us. We weren't doing so well before their appearance. It only reinforces the truism that corruption must be cleaned from within.
The people can only vote them out or take guns and shoot them out.
Corruption happens not because the natives want it/
It happens because the people trust that the election is going to be in good people/
The problem with corruption. Once it comes in/
All new candidates will be apart of that corruption
I don't see your point. Voting out the bad guys or shooting them would be a conclusive way of dealing with them. Corruption happens because there is a tacit acceptance of corruption at the cultural level. It also happens because the existing institutions are more concerned with self-aggrandizement than service, and the people become desperate...and therefore resort to bribes to grease the wheels. Everyone is poor in Zambia. The police are not paid. The doctors are not paid. The teachers are not paid. Yet, they are there, and the service suffers. I don't think you have much experience of corruption.
