well I'm in the US so we don't have the military of other nations inviting themself in.

but we do have China and Russia involved in our elections and sometimes invading our banks/business/governments - and that's disturbing
@Pretzel Yeah but in other countries if the people"vote wrong" and elect anyone who doesn't benefit the US or the Fortune 500 gets invaded or the new leader eats a CIA bullet, or a coup happens.

In the 90s the US government even bragged on the cover of Time magazine to rigging Russian elections for Yeltsin the walking vodka bottle.


As for interference in the US. The most anyone has ever claimed is some amateur hour troll farms that there is zero evidence had any impact o anything.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow no doubt US interferance has been a constant in our history. not excusing or defending it. Much of the time it has been to further business interests as well.

I guess the closest we've come in recent years to outside interferance was 9/11. Even then the 3,000+ lives in comparison to lives lost in other part of the world is small.

It is a complex issue with no easy answers. Its for Governments to decide and allow them or not to interfere. Although the superior ones always put their nose here n there to proved their power.

On the other hand at times it is required as help

That would depend on the intention behind the interference, the outcome, on the country which is supposedly interfering and on the definition of interference.

But do I support America’s benevolent hegemony over the world? Yes. I do.

I don't. Do you know many that do?
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@Lubnaa we are a nudist family and live in the desert. No offense taken. 😊
Lubnaa · 22-25, F
@nudistsueaz alone in the dessert?
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@Lubnaa A large part of Arizona is in the Sonoran desert. No, not alone.

Not interfere, but to support, encourage, invest in and respect local democracy is fine.
Definitely not a fan.
SirAhmed · 31-35, M
It doesn't matter. Because I personally can't do shit about it.
But you should rephrase the question.
Do you like when the USA interfere in your country 🤣
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@SirAhmed If you think it's just the US, you better think again.
SirAhmed · 31-35, M
@nudistsueaz So it's ok for the US to interfere in other countries because there's others big countries does the same?
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@SirAhmed Oh no, not at all. Why would you think it would be okay?

In america we do it to nearly everyone else. Maybe it needs to happen to the u.s. so America learns to butt out of other country's business\affairs?
jehova · 31-35, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow it continues to go up? How many during trump term 1?
@jehova Well one was more of a fail. There was his bay of pigs 2.0 in Venezuela.

His foreign policy directly led to Oct 7th so you could arguably blame that for all the fallout of that.

Pretty sure we will find out later down the road that the decision of effectively overrule an election in Romania was not exactly made locally.

It will likely be decades before we know what really happened in Haiti but well the US has literally a century of history pulling stuff like the assassination of the president in that country alone.

Smedley Butler talked about making Haiti safe for US investors in 1936.

Nope. And if you live in Canada or Greenland you're about to get a whole lot more of that 🤭

@BritishFailedAesthetic Pretty much accepted fact. Justin looks like Castro much more than Pierre Trudeau. Compare Justin with his brothers and there is no doubt.

@hippyjoe1955 Helping to campaign in a democratic election is hardly on a par with directing money to that campaign or seeking to influence the outcome by spreading misinformation through your social media platform.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@SunshineGirl I consider it exactly the same thing but lets put that aside. There is a lot of money that crosses the border to help in the campaigns.
Wireman · 31-35, M
They do it for all the wrong reasons, but unfortunately money talks.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
It really doesn't matter.
Potentially, no but it doesn't happen often enough to be a problem (so far!)

As an American, i think it would only be right for other nations to interfere with US politics akin to how the US fucks with others.... means we may finally get a good leader too.....
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
Nobody does.

Hint hint to the USA.
No, but the Americans are the true believers in taking over and they're not available for questions - mentally unable to risk losing arguments.
