Why wasn't there more resistance? 30 minutes is just sad. Compared to 600+ assassination attempts done against Fidel.

Yeah, sadly in the majority of low GDP countries, if you give people money to do something, they are going to do it much more often then not, whatever that might be. And the US/Israel have plenty of fiscal money to give. Ideology isn't what matters for the vast majority of people in the global south, their own personal livelihood is by an overwhelming degree. It's not an insult, it's just a material reality. Even China had to fight a very hard battle against corruption during it's era of poverty and still is to a lesser extent.
