[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think liberal democracies are favored around the world but malevolent people with enough money and power have pushed false or misleading narratives in a way that support the rest of your narrative.[/quote]

This! And the Israeli-Palestine conflict is complex and nuanced. Palestinians are not bad, Hamas is. Israel is not bad; it’s trying to survive in a region that wants it destroyed. There are numerous groups that hate each other and call that land home based on a long history of conflict/power changes.

Russia is bad however that is true. But they demographics don’t support being anything but a regional player in the coming future. Invading Ukraine is their last gasp.[/quote]
Every conflict is complex and nuanced.  Unless America or one of its treaty allies is directly attacked I really don’t think Americans have the right of declaring sides in someone else’s war.  The American people’s thinking is very black and white and simplistic and Americans think they need to have an opinion on everything; every crisis anywhere is some existential threat to democracy.  American foreign policy is rife with hypocrisy and contradiction.  Around the world people see this and respond accordingly.[/quote]

^^this. and it has nothing to do with “liberal democracy.”[/quote]

America defends democracy in the world. Many Europeans feel America is becoming isolationist. They’re right to a certain extent we haven’t had a globalist president since HW Bush.[/quote]

Central America would like a word. [/quote]
Indeed.  The United States is not some champion of democracy that the Americans like to imagine.  For most of the world it is quite the opposite.[/quote]
