@randahl Wherever American democracy comes, a large amount of underground mineral resources and oil also flows to America.American democracy is so beautiful that wherever it goes, flowers will bloom.But news broadcasts can't make the blooming flowers look beautiful.It always shows destroyed buildings, dead men, and mutilated baby corpses.But is that how American democracy is?Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Yemen... they all benefited from democracy.
