    I don’t agree with your interpretation. It still seems to me that the comment I was responding to (which isn’t in this screenshot) was talking about military intervention. We don’t need to argue about it though, we could just go and ask the person who wrote the comment what they meant. But I doubt either of us will.

    Regardless, I agree with the tankie, much as it pains me to admit. Who the fuck are the US and the EU to poke their noses into the business of other sovereign nations?

      I didn’t realize sovereignty meant no one can ever criticize you for anything, especially not blatantly faking an election after agreeing to have free and fair elections in exchange for access to US markets. I’ll have to inform a number of anti-US countries posthaste.

        can

        This doesn’t make sense. By definition, nobody has the power to prevent a sovereign nation from criticising another and the US is a sovereign nation.

        You didn’t address my question.

          Who are the US and Europe to have an opinion on free and fair elections? We share the same planet. If my neighbor strangles his wife to keep custody of the kids I’m going to have something to say about it.

            We share the same planet.

            I don’t follow. What does that have to do with sovereign nations minding their own business?

            If my neighbor strangles his wife to keep custody of the kids I’m going to have something to say about it.

            Why? In Western democracies, police forces and the courts are the people who deal with murder. What would you say? What makes you think anyone would care about what you have to say? Why wouldn’t you mind your own business?
