In any case, it doesn't matter much. Of course in a democracy if you want something to happen you need to convince a lot of people (maybe not a majority but a lot). It's called propaganda. The fact that there's a lot of people that are enthusiastic about advancing the interests of another country is probably just the effect of some very effective propaganda originating from the actual beneficiaries.

In a democracy, propaganda works, because of weak democratic implementation. If democracy is an ideal able to be realized, it would protect against that. The burden is on the shoulders of the citizens, culture and state. Without education in the sense of critical thinking, intelligence isn't developed enough to establish democratic structures.
