They aren’t a failed state. They’d be perfectly fine if they hadn’t been embargoed, blockaded, sanctioned and undermined at every turn by imperialist pieces of shit for nearly seventy years.

They just can’t stand the idea of people controlling their own resources and not being exploited at every turn.

It disgusts me.
