    Ok I can pick any stat? I pick the stat which I think is why western countries are in an alliance and thats democracy. Looking at this stat the US is up near the top and Russia and China are way down. Shocked. (This data was from 2016)

    Now with trump in power I’m less inclined to want to be in an alliance with the united states but I still expect and believe its good for “western powers”(meaning western democracy) to oppose non western powers whereever we can.

    You see foreign intervention as west bad but its far more complex. On each side of the conflict is a great power so its not as simple as saying if America pulls out everything will be OK.

        What part of what I said could even be considered a joke? Is it that I said the us is a democracy? I clarified thats no longer the case under trump.
