Let trade run free. Tie your currency to the U.S. dollar. Align your foreign policy with America’s. The U.S. and its Western partners wrote these economic rules, a cornerstone of the world order prevailing since World War II.
Clearly you have an altered perception of reality or an agenda to point Western democracies as the villain in the story.
I am not denying the fact that Western countries have initiated and supported some dictatorships that would align with their interests. But these regimes are light years away from fascism and theocracy. You can not in good faith compare military dictators in the Sahel with de jure theocracies like Afghanistan and Iran.
Unless you want to prove that every regime is corrupt and that democracy is no better than dictatorships.
Also, the fact that these democracies are struggling peacefully with inner extremists without falling into outright dictatorship like China and Russia is enough to prove that yes, they are better.
You are just stating alternative fact to support your narrative.
There aren’t good imperial projects and bad ones. Just bad ones that lay the ground work for worse ones.
Agree with that at least!
