The Dominican Republic in the late 1800s relied heavily on the United States. The US is like ah you got to pay us back for all these loans that just got robbed by your assholes running the country. All of the money we give them winds up in the hands of local strongmen None of it goes towards helping regular people or making the country function better I know it won't happen again. That's not so weird Yeah, it would be it would be crazy if after this we just flew a palette of billions of dollars in cash to a country Let's call it smurak and then lost it alllike that would be wild if we'd done that.
