I understand your frustration, but the problem isn't that it's far away geographically, it's that your country is allowing criminals to use your IPs to do bad stuff.
The bit about colonialism was tongue-in-cheek, but it's not a completely nonsensical comment.
My country has such a poor median standard of living that things like computer fraud (or crime, generally) become attractive even to reasonably honest people as they become desperate in finding ways to provide a dignified living for themselves and their families.
Due to largely the same root causes, its government has insufficient infrastructure, bandwidth, and expertise to deal with cases of computer fraud, especially with big tech corporations usually refusing to cooperate/communicate with our officials.
One of the contributors to this situation is a military operation perpetrated by a well-known and powerful transatlantic military alliance as recently as 20 years ago; it resulted in $5 billion of direct economic damage (a big deal when that's your entire GDP) and countless billions of indirect economic loss which rippled throughout the years in the aftermath (not to mention the hundreds of civillian lives lost).
I'm trying not to drag politics and emotions into this too much, and my country surely has many issues unrelated to anyone outside, but I'm expressing my grievances as a common person who, like anyone else, did not choose their birthplace, and does in no way identify with the policies and actions of their government, but suffers greatly in many ways due to them + the constant bullying and pressure by the "colonial forces", which is what I was primarily referring to.
I wasn't implying it's your fault, just saying that it's weird to, say, get mad at Walmart when they put up extra security measures in places where they constantly get robbed.
