There _is_ no domestic accountability in those kleptocratic countries precisely because their governments do not make the majority of their revenues from a personal income tax base. I have doubts about the sincerity of western people who seem so terribly concerned about victimized peoples in distant countries when the net effect of the policies they advocate are really about domestic wealth redistribution. The kind of sanctimonious moral arbitrage that exploits "the people," of these countries as a pretext for influencing domestic policy with sob stories is utterly disingenuous. Kleptocrats gonna klepto, and the reason they can is they can afford to pay the military to keep them in power, with funds that come from resources or puppeteer empires. Offering gratitude without demonstrating understanding or any meaningful benefit just tells people their shared experience was wasted on you.
