Wether or not you think our neighbors had 'real' elections or rigged ones is up for debate. However, at this point, the assumption is that these people voted for this. They had plenty of examples of failed socialism from which to draw their data points. And yet, they apparently chose poorly.
In regards to the USofA: When you're a sinking ship, such as we are due to our drowning debt, you cannot go save other ships. Sorry, sometimes have to make the worthwhile effort to save themselves. Otherwise it's not as appreciated.
No, I'm not making any assumptions. Please don't attribute that to me, my post had/has nothing to do with political systems or whatever system they chose or voted for or whatever. If they did, they chose wrongly and are now paying for it, but having been around alot more than many Americans I also know that in many of these smaller places without America's protections, manipulation of the vote and fraud and corruption by politicians can get out of hand and become systemic very quickly. I don't care who is to blame when children are starving and old people are suffering and dying needlessly - do you?
Just because we have our own problems, do we let the rest of the world burn? Seriously... could you stand on a street corner in a place like that, watching people suffer knowing you could do something about it, and yet... not? Just because of their political system? Which they may or may not have voted for, either by not being allowed to vote or due to their system being so corrupted there was no avenue for change?
