- mytailorisrich 4y agoAutocracy was never an issue for the US. Communist/socialist regimes or tendencies were the issue. A democratically elected socialist head of state could be on the kill list, a pro-West dictator on the guest list at the White House... things have not changed much since. A famous example of a deep 'friendship' with one of the least democratic country is the US' relationship with Saudi Arabia, which as a country is not better than Iran and maybe worse. Interests trump these considerations, which are a simplification for public opinion.
