Not going to say US behavior is morally sound in this case, but
- US has provided significant financial assistance here, and if it doesnt get any say in return, it has no incentive to provide continued help.
- As far as hegemons so, US has been the least bad in world history. Dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
- xbmcuser 3y agoThey are champions of democracy but the leader of the most popular party is being railroaded in false cases their silence more than anything tells us what is going on. How come they are not saying anything apart from it being a countries internal matter when a democracy is being destroyed but had statements about human rights every week against the previous democratic government.
