Why doesn't what's going on in Ethiopia/Eritrea or Venezuela/Guyana appear in American politics?
It seems like just yesterday that anytime there was the threat of Communism, America would do whatever it can to quell it. Today, Venezuela and/or its beef with Guyana seem like it concerns absolutely nobody. And Eritrea is supposed to be the worst non-ideological dictatorship while Ethiopia is like a second promised land, you’d think someone would talk about that. I’m not one to assume peoples’ reasonings for their priorities, but it wouldn’t look pretty on capital if this is America’s motivator for being as selective as it is in the way it is.
Also, Haiti! That was a place once outright micromanaged by America, and now nobody will offer so much as medical assistance? Do we want another Nauru?
