Do third world dictators exist because of conditions in the third world, or are third world dictators the product of a very specific personality type that devolves into a dictator as a natural progression of being in power and being profoundly insecure, paranoid, and incompetent?

Put the 314m number on blast, then have military officers come out and say each bomb costs "only" 16m and the whole program cost 314m, then we can argue why we have a third of a billion dollar program on big gay bombs
