The US wants to have moral authority with scummy authoritarian governments throughout the world and then acts like a scummy authoritarian government. Do you want thriving dictatorships? This is how you get thriving dictatorships.
- president 5y agoAgreed but can a utopia without a scummy authoritarian government exist? There are worse scummy authoritarian governments out there and I'm glad that our scummy authoritarian government is still better than those.
