I have wondered something. Given that the population of Zim is about 12 million, could the USA simply “buy” Zim at $1,000 a head and administer it for 99 years. We’d get paid back by the efficient development of natural resources, ZIm would benefit from competant management and training, and in 99 years they might be ready to take over in a well planned, well defined transfer of power. It would only cost the US $12 billion, a deal.
That, is a good idea. Give Hugo some more time and Venezuelans will go for it as well.
As usual, Capitalism has the best solution for the problem at hand :-)
Great plan, providing of course you can get past the absolutely hysterical, apoplectic cacophony of the worldwide Left as they shreik: “lafroste is buying 12 million slaves! The horror!”
After the Zimbabwean success, we could go one by one (or more) throughout the rest of Africa and fix the whole continent, to the utter dismay of Socialists everywhere :-)
Sorry. The Chinese already got it. And much cheaper than $12 billion. They will restore order AND profitability.
