The United States (US) claims that it is the champion of democracy. Please click on this link to learn about the many democratically elected governments that the US has toppled, because they dared to exercise their sovereignty: https://youtu.be/eqUUTszg2qI
Because the US Empire prioritizes regime change over democracy, 40 million Americans live today in poverty, and another 201 million live from paycheck to paycheck, while 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are Americans too.
Because the US prioritizes regime change over democracy, the US Empire has consistently refused to comply with 43 United Nations’ resolutions demanding the immediate return of Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. In the meantime, 6 million Puerto Ricans have abandoned their national territory (gentrification), and half of the 3 million people in Puerto Rico live in poverty too.
And, because the US Empire prioritizes regime change over democracy, it unconditionally supports today the genocide against the indigenous people of Palestine against international law.
The US does what empires do.
