Whenever the usual suspects start wailing about “somebody! do something!” they mean the US must handle it.
And then, of course, it will be their (the wailers) own duty to undermine, undercut, impede, interfere with, back stab and demean anything the US does in answer to their wails.
You’re so absolutely correct. Whatever we do, there will be a giant cluster of insiders who work to rip off whatever we do.
I know and socialize (heh, weird word) with a family of Venezuelans who were able to escape with the assistance of my brother, who sponsored them. I hate to characterize a whole group of people based upon such a small sample, but with the exception of one of them, they are singularly ungrateful for the fact that they would otherwise be living in pure hell.
