Oy gevalt! A disgrace she says!
Listen Babushka, such disgraceful treatment WE should have faced when we were still schlepping through the undergrowth living quite literally hand to mouth.
And had modern medical treatment introduced, free education, justice based on law and not tribal traditions, introduction of modern services, goods, a means to live and eat without risking life and limb and so much more.
Then to have the nation builders move on but leave functioning infrastructures behind and access to markets in which to earn the means to maintain and build on what they had been given as departing gifts.
Such a dreadful empire. The world should have suffered such terrible treatment.
Pffft.
