Exactly. The democracy advanced always exactly matches the current US interests. Funny that. We’re just so damn perfect we never ever ever get anything wrong.

You realise that institutions like the IMF and World Bank do exactly that? What exactly do you think happens to third world countries that can’t pay back IMF and World Bank loans? They get to walk off scott free? Here’s a hint: neoliberalisation gets introduced into the country and its assets get taken and privatized by western corporations.
