I feel people in the West should visit counties like Bolivia before declaring all their issues are due to evil external forces rather than internal corruption and straight fuck ups and then see which they think is more likely.

Uhhhh... where does ot say that ALL THEIR ISSUES are caused by external forces? If anything, it's internal forces who crave money and power and who sell them selves to Western companies to gain that. Like, do you know NOTHING of history and how the US has actively been staging coups in the Latin Americas since the Socialist President of Chile. As is the case with Bolivia now.

Try typing like an adult.

I know history. I know South America. I know every country in the region wishes their country had Chile's economy (which they got thanks to the socialists being kicked out) but won't do anything towards that aim because its easier to blame the US. Its a distraction. The West has Russia and China trying to interfere with their governments all the time but people there don't take their eyes off the real issues because of that. If you put your country on the market don't be surprised when someone comes and buys it up.
