I can think of another superpower that’s been propping up “democratic” regimes across the world, not hypothetically, but for decades.
(Apparently dang won’t like this comment, and rightly so, so this will be my last comment on this thread.)
- corporate_shi11 7y agoAmerica has been a champion for real democracies across the world for decades. It has propped up autocracies in the past, but those pale in comparison to its global support for democracy.
- take_a_breath 7y agoAmerica has also disposed of plenty of democratically-elected regimes (Panama, Iran, Chile, Guatemala, Brazil, etc.). I’m not sure who gets to determine if that ”pales in comparison” to its support of other democracies, but it did happen.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoSure it did, and it's a shame to the US that it happened. But the US did also prop up democratic regimes. Now, in contrast, China and Russia... did they ever help democracy, anywhere?
