I've given up worrying or obsessing about them. When (not IF) they are invaded/overrun by whomever there is no chance that our (USA) government will even think about mounting a third rescue effort.
Should those that are in power over here want, for some absurd reason, want to take over control over there, we can just launch a whole flock of missiles at the place. No need to even consider using the remnants as an emergency landing field.
Sadly the citizenry/subjects will not even stand up for themselves. Yes, they rightously moan and bewhine their fate since 1996, but nobody seems to be willing to actually do anything about it besides whinging.
They don't want to/will not do anything for themselves? Then I say "Screw them!"
stay safe.
