The West - all advise and admonishments and no dough. And our colonial mindset, especially among Colombians, accept it submissively without any deal making

It is the fault of third world people and their leaders and unorganized system. nobody can't stop western going destroying other countries unless third world people and their leaders changed ; Western countries use only one tool which spies and espionage, and local groups who speak local languages help them carry out their espionage Sri lanka is another example. Before they started Tamil war , they install local spies belong to deferent religions and castes within UnP government. And one of their ultimate goal is Sri lanka was to get ride Miss Bandaranake and her party In India they wanted to get ride of Miss Gandy and her son: they used Tamil for one and for other, they used Sikh Panjabis.
