> Today, these governments literally import voters and distribute them throughout their country to prop up their political parties in contested areas because natural citizens don't vote for the looting and demolitions of their own societies.

This can be read as a disguised racism and a conspiracy theory, unless you can provide data and evidence. Which governments and how/when/where/how many they "import" voters and get them vote for their policy ?

I don't fully agree with the implied sentiment of the parent commenter, but as for real world examples just look at Russia and their puppet/occupied states and territories. Russia seems to conveniently import their citizens to other countries and cause looting/destruction/chaos/war using them as a pretext.

Specific instances of this happening:

- Crimea in 2014

- Transnistria in 1992

- South Ossetia and Abkhazia in 2008
