>Where is the rest of the Western world that supposedly supports democracy and freedom now? The Europeans are basically too tired of war after WWII and decades of being right next to the Soviets during the Cold War, and after continental Europe was bombed out in WWII and then occupied by the Americans, they relied on the US for defense mostly. Over in Japan, they were bombed and then occupied by the Americans too, and avoided building up too much military force or projecting power. So that mainly leaves America and to an extent the other 5-eyes nations (UK, Australia, Canada) to counter the powers that have always tended towards authoritarianism.
