Why is it that you make the USA the bad guy here. It is like the mean ol' USA inflicted sanctions causing people to leave as if living under a socialist dictator was acceptable except for those damn sanctions.
Living under a dictator is reason enough to get out. They can't realistically fight back since their guns were confiscated long ago.
I didn't make the USA into a bad guy, that's you. You seem to not understand the effects of the sanctions over a period of time can have unintended and adverse effects.
And no, living under a dictatorship doesn't have to have those effects. Singapore was considered a benign dictatorship by the Brits, and still is, AFAIK. See any fleeing there? No.
So it's BAD (non-benign) dictatorships coupled with bad economic strife - maybe partly caused by sanctions - with no end in sight, where fleeing seems like a great idea.
Even Stalin was remembered fondly when times get bad, so there are some dictators that the people like, even if they do horrible things, and more than just Stalin. That's just the way it is.
