I think there's a vast difference between the US government doing something, and private companies doing something like this. I'm not saying the US is right in its interventions, but atleast they're a democratically elected government with some form of legitimacy.
- m4r35n357 7y agoI think that line has been blurred out of existence.
- hrktb 7y agoI think the parent is talking about the US sabotaging other governments for decades.
- rbanffy 7y agoThe difference is that we should be able to expect a government to act under higher ethical standards than a for-profit company.

- rbanffy 7y agoI grew up in Brazil. I know what the US has been doing for ages. It's just that, in a more civilized world, I would expect governments to hold themselves to a high ethical standard. If the US did that, they could be a force for good. Unfortunately, that's not the case.
