Right, so you mean everything outside "the west" never have any legitimate grievances and can thus be denied a voice in the name of protecting democracy?

It is also clearly illiberal to explicitly deny agency to a multitude of affected stakeholders that have been allowed to join the network, despite their dirty track record.
