I think it is a bit more than just militarily being told who told support or spying/privacy. The west will frequently threaten to cut off aid to Africa if they don't accept certain social policies. I'm not sure if any aid has actually been cut off yet, but there is a constant pushing for it.
- onetimeusename 3y agoyes I agree but the US does that to European countries and other allies also. Even militarily that overlaps strongly with energy policy. Although the verdict is still out on who blew up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, the US did say it was opposed to it despite it being sovereign European energy provider's decision to partner with Russia.[1] The US said they would not allow the pipeline to happen. That's pretty clear foreign meddling in Germany's affairs. Again, that includes the possibility you think the pipeline is a bad idea. On social policies, the US has pressured allies to align with its own views with Hungary[2] who is a NATO member, Poland[3], and Japan[4] recently.
