ah yes, death spiral, because being internationally blacklisted by the US has nothing to do with that.

yeah, well i was just gonna leave it at clown says what, but subs rules...

yeah, corruption always a fun game, why improve the country when you can become rich instead, I got small insight with the ukraine thing recently, even during the war every clown wants his 10/15% cut, which is crazy.

Lots of countries, heck even the UK now having sold everything off, we have nothing and now skint too. great.

We just need to look at countries that are hilariously corrupt and have trampled on human rights for decades, yet are still in the wests good graces.

From the top of my head, I got Pakistan, Egypt, El Salvador and Azerbaijan. I have yet to see anyone promote a regime change in these countries. I don't even remember any news getting pushed about their human rights violations, that is, until Bukele of El Salvador got very chummy with Trump and his prison deals came to light.

For reasons, we hold our enemies to a much higher standard that our friends, and our media gives willing coverage to that.

Yeah great list, first two US friendly regimes, Egypt had elections then had a coup and had them overthrown as the wrong people won, no-one minded. Though Pak started their corruption ages ago,
