You're much too cynical. We support democratic nations and try to set up democracy and liberal institutions when situations present themselves. We don't completely shut out nations like Saudi Arabia because there is more to be gained by working with them than against them. What would you want the US to do, invade Saudi Arabia because we disagree with it?
- ssijak 9y agowho gave you the right to invade anyone on that matter? people will disagree all the time. if iran or somalia or kuba or whomever disagree how USA is governed, does it give them right to invade you? and will you have the same opinion if USA were to be weak and they had the power to do it?
- mengibar10 9y agoDo you support Democratic nation? Read and learn (spoiler it was not the first nor the last time). https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/19/cia-admits-role-1953-iranian-coup https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/19/cia-admits-rol... The mistake you're making is using the "we". If you mean a state within State by "we", you are wrong, if you mean the people, the public, you are right. People general have no clue what their state (not government) are doing to others.
- mythrwy 9y agoIs what was done to Syria and the Syrian people worth the cost of "setting up democracy and liberal institutions"? (As if that were even remotely possible to be the outcome) So what is it then? Why are we there? It's not human liberty when the people being armed are worse than the people they are trying to overthrow.
