Ally my ass.
Americans always surprised Pikachu when the fascists they support start doing fascist things.
Judging New Delhi too important in the fight against China, the US government has adopted its own unstated policy of avoiding fights with India over human rights and democracy.
We’re always quick to come up with excuses why this regime or that is “too important” for us to criticize. In the end it just ends up with us having more terrible regimes we’re in bed with than ones we’re willing to call out, which in turn makes the American-led democratic world order a huge hypocrisy.
Maybe holding back some economic expansion from China isn’t worth letting the largest democracy in the world slip into fascism. Because it’s not like fully fascist Modi is going to be “our” dictator. Fascist leaders align with other fascist leaders. FFS they tried to perform an assassination on American soil. That’s a big fucking deal and deserves a harsh response.
Countries have interests, not allies. Those interests usually revolve around security or the economy
which in turn makes the American-led democratic world order a huge hypocrisy.
Not a hypocrisy, just a falsehood. America’s federal government doesn’t have as much influence on global politics as a lot of people seem to believe.
My country, once a victim it self of American intervention, now has a exterior policy to be proud of, it always takes a posture for peace, human rights, democracy and international rights.
