- widforss 10y agoAnd why would an authorian regime in one country justify American destabilization in their territory? Jesus, I'm tired of american military acting world police pretty much everywhere. I do not like dictatorships, but bombing people into democracy rarely works, as northern Iraq is an excellent example of.

Without substantial help from other nations, notably Venezuela, I don't doubt the government would've fallen long ago. N.Korea: Nations that have had "second-in-command" officials "eaten alive by... hungry dogs" for "attempting to overthrow the state" in the last 3 years won't be listed on my top ten stable countries.
