For me it is particularly hard not to assign blame to them on a large part, considering that they have had a longer timespan being independent than the rest of us put together (outside the US), and even the times when they have been intervened, the foreigners in question have taken good care to give them more latitude than the one they deserve. Even right now, when they have a situation where other countries would have had a military force sent their way, the powers at be are careful in not offending their sensitivities, ffs. I am not demanding for them to build a developed country overnight, but a minimally functional (or even one with livable third world standards) neighboring country would be nice.
P.S.: Also, regarding their reparations payments, which is the go to excuse that progs like to use regarding them, Mats Lundhal and other economists have proven that these werent the factor crippling them, but the fact that they consciously chose to destroy the productive apparatus that gave their country its fabulous wealth, and didn't care to rebuild it post-independence, compounded with the fact that they also chose to isolate themselves from the trading circuit by their anti-foreigner stance and exclusivist policies regarding these owning wealth and landownership in the country, policies that even the Yanks wouldnt care to reverse in the practice when they occupied the country, although FDR and other functionaries of the Navy did so to them on paper.
