The Middle East is an unstable place. Not due to the USA.
Countries that have become liberal free market democracies have benefitted tremendously in living standards. I wouldn't describe Sweden, Singapore or Poland "shackled" to the USA.
We can absolutely see the positive impact on the USA around the world:
- North Korea (not US aligned) vs South Korea.
- Ukraine (invaded by Russia) vs Baltic countries.
- Venezuela (Socialist) Vs Chile (a liberal democracy).
- defrost 3y agoThe claim being addressed here by myself though was that "the US hasn't meddled with South America since the 60's|70's". Not only is that false it's alsdo clear that "the positive impact on the USA around the world" hasn't manifested itself within the immediate umbrella of the Monroe Doctrine. Nor would many argue that the US sets a great example of a liberal free market democracy, it doesn't rank well on things that matter to people against others.
