The puppets are sometimes dictatorships, too. No surprise there. It has worked this way for many decades. Many big name U.S. corporations have sponsored dictatorships in the past namely IBM; they supported the Nazi party.
Do you think Congress should pull all aid to foreign nations?
Most should, except in extreme emergencies like the Haitian earthquake.
But as for paying them off to be our friends, that's been one of the major pillars of Bush's Iraqi surge and Obama's Afghan surge, which appear relatively popular among Republicans.

More like, IBM's German subsidiaries were seized by the Nazi Party and forced to kneel to the system like everyone else. If you have evidence that IBM's Western managers were pro-Nazi, apart from having a business relationship in Germany, I'd like to see it.
Yes. I think so. Nations should take care of themselves. Period. Nations that do that are self sufficient and their people, even their poor have decent standards of living.
It is nations like ours that strong arm our way in to other countries bribing leaders to turn over natural resources to our BIG Corporations so we/they can take advantage of not only the resources but the people of those countries to run the factories for slaves wages (when before they were happy and healthy in their agrarian culture). Our country does more harm than good in other countries.
