Exactly why they are now even more prone to outside influence. A strong robust democracy and economy doesn't really give a flying F what Russia or China thinks.
But a leader of a country that is struggling for power, foreign cash, etc, is probably going to take whatever handouts they can get, regardless of cost to the people.
Heck, just look at Cuba or any of the Iron Curtain countries during the Cold War. Its not like putting nukes in Cuba was in the best interest of the Cuban people.
