It is interesting to see these after effects of political structures that oppress the people that have been propped up by imperialistic powers and special interests. There are similar patterns here that mirror Venezuela, Iraq, Haiti and even more powerful countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

In each of the aforementioned, the country in question is rich in valuable resources. Outside players get involved with the local government. The local government becomes less representative of the people after a time. Corruption and consolidation of political power occurs in the hands of an elite class. Oppression of the local people begins en mass. This is prevalent all over

Each country has divergent problems but share this common pattern. Is this apparent to anyone else?
