No it isn't

American imperialism is used to further our goals

So then you know that presenting it as a force of good is purely circumstantial.

Yes

In these cases it worked

But it is failing in the middle east

I guess if you're a 56% burger nationalist it's justifiable.

Not necessarily

I am saying that if there is an opportunity to establish a pro-American democracy somewhere in the world it is in our best interest to do so

Which pro-American democracies has America established?

and while our goals can be rather self-centered it helps the people that we do it to generally

Most importantly Korea and Japan

America established a dictatorship in Korea though. As well as Vietnam.

germany

and they only worked there because the populations were ready for it in my opinion

well Germany was already a functioning society

we helped re-establish what they already had

and we did rebuild europe

America has established countless dictatorships when it could get away with it. Obviously you can't replace a dictatorship with a dictatorship. As a PR move from the world's police it doesn't work.

Exactly

I don't support that

But that's consistent American policy.

Yes it is

Like in Korea.

And I do not support it

However it can work and can end up being positive

But you do support realpolitik, which inevitably leads to foreign policy moves like supporting dictators.

It's playing with fire.

And I will remind you that we have every right to depose communist dictators across the globe

Which communist dictators?

Not in modern times

but back when we did that kind of stuff

We had every reason to

Actually in South America it was the habit of America to overthrow democratically elected socialist leaders who pretended to be communist to secure funding from the USSR by supporting anti-communist paramilitary organizations.

good

Or just plain out direct military intervention.

If they choose the enemy's side then they get what they deserve

They knew what would happen and still went through with it. Their fault.

But it was worse for the host countries. They got corrupt military juntas instead of democratically elected leaders who could have helped their country instead of selling out national interests to the MIC.

sucks to be a commie bastard
