Weapon of Mass Visa Revocation (WMVR)

It has been done before: it can be done again.  In this current age history is prone to be repeated with greater frequency and at much shortened intervals.

Politicians can make all the fanciful distinctions, example:

Aside from Bolt, we have nothing unique and in worldwide demand. Reggae is now produced everywhere and the Japanese productions have aped an authentic vibe.

Small countries moreso those in the US backyard had better get used to the WMVR which has proved a very effective tool of applying pressure as it engenders widespread paranoia among the victim population.
