>>34050Very much this. It is actually NOT in USA's interest because the US has become an imperial state and has been that way since the late 19th century. It has never changed or shifted gears from that, only expanded.
A stable, functional, peaceful democratic nation will want things like fair terms of trade, non-interference in their personal affairs, ability to pick and choose their allies and partners. I mean just look at the recent chimpout the US has had over trade even with Germany.
This is what the US does to peaceful, stable, democratic and secular nations

Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, various central Asian dictators and shitty theocratic states like Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, formerly Iran after overthrowing their government and when the people of Iran overthrew the US puppet dictator the US switched to aiding a dictator to fight them even knowing that Saddam was using chemical weapons, the Mujahideen and Taliban, various shitty South American dictatorships including Pinochet's Chile and so on and so forth.
If you look at it the actual track record of the United States has been to overthrow whole governments and destabilize entire regions into violence as national policy. Right now Libya, while a dictatorship before, is now an even worse hellhole filled with violent Islamists. The same happened to Iraq and the only reason why Syria didn't 100% collapse into this is because Russia stopped it. The same goes for Venezuela where the only reason they still have a country is because once again, Russia stopped it. Afghanistan is what you get when Russia failed to stop it.
The United States couldn't give two shits less about anyone having a democracy and going by track record clearly prefers that they do not. The only thing the United States cares about is market liberalization and privatization. No matter where you are in the world, if you look at it with clear and open eyes the only driving agenda of the US is that and any time market liberalization and privatization or lopsided trade terms for US companies is opposed the US reacts violently.
