Unfortunately we as a country have done a poor job in helping other nations develop and gain secure economies for their peoples. Paramilitaries thrive in such environments, and then other powers make their offers for international leadership.
- trasz 4y agoAssuming "we" is USA, then you've done much worse than that - you've ruined quite a few economies and societies that would be perfectly fine if not for your involvement. And you are still doing it - see Cuba.

- 0xy 4y agoPoor job is a significant understatement. The US was directly responsible for the rise of the cartels. They provided: - Incentives (war on drugs) - Weapons shipments (Operation Fast and Furious) - Training cartel members (US Special Forces trained the founding members of Los Zetas) - Money laundering services (Bank of America and others banked cartels) The US literally armed them with assault weapons. At times the CIA was directly trafficking drugs themselves.
