Money talks... all else hitchhikes..
Two examples of when no one looked past the trees for the forest
Ulterior motives make people choose options which are not altruistic, at your age you should know this.
Jimmy Carter chose to support 2 known communists in a fight to overthrow a "white rule" Rhodesia. There were issues in Rhodesia, but since the Us was so worried about the suppression of blacks, they over looked everything and supported them. Now Zimbabwe is a shithole, a place that was once the "breadbasket of Africa" now relies on foreign aid to support their starving population. White Zimbabweans have had their land stolen, these are not immigrants, they were born & raised there. No outcry?
The UK and UN also embargoed Rhodesia as well, so we were not the only ones placating a "feel good sentiment".
#2- Genocide in Rwanda
1994, not ancient history. wher was the world to denonuce this? The answer is simple, there is nothing anyone wants in Rwanda, so nobody cares. up to 1million people were killed, mostly macheted to death, UN peace keepers did nothing. nobody cared , lipservice was given that was all.
Bottom line of this post: If you have no money or resources to offer, or are not the "flavor of the day" according to political correctness ... you are ****ed.
