To be fair to those dictators. I've found this article worth sharing. I'm surprised Ukraine is on the list. What was the coup about? In an attempt to quantify U.S. warmaking, I’ve copied below lists from these sources: William Blum: America’s Deadliest Export: Democracy Dr. Zoltan Grossman: A Century of U.S. Military Interventions James Lucas: U.S. Has Killed More Than 20 Million People Source Davidswanson warlist Here is Blum’s list of U.S. attempts to overthrow governments (* indicates success): China 1949 to early 1960s Albania 1949-53 East Germany 1950s Iran 1953 * Guatemala 1954 * Costa Rica mid-1950s Syria 1956-7 Egypt 1957 Indonesia 1957-8 British Guiana 1953-64 * Iraq 1963 * North Vietnam 1945-73 Cambodia 1955-70 * Laos 1958 *, 1959 *, 1960 * Ecuador 1960-63 * Congo 1960 * France 1965 Brazil 1962-64 * Dominican Republic 1963 * Cuba 1959 to present Bolivia 1964 * Indonesia 1965 * Ghana 1966 * Chile 1964-73 * Greece 1967 * Costa Rica 1970-71 Bolivia 1971 * Australia 1973-75 * Angola 1975, 1980s Zaire 1975 Portugal 1974-76 * Jamaica 1976-80 * Seychelles 1979-81 Chad 1981-82 * Grenada 1983 * South Yemen 1982-84 Suriname 1982-84 Fiji 1987 * Libya 1980s Nicaragua 1981-90 * Panama 1989 * Bulgaria 1990 * Albania 1991 * Iraq 1991 Afghanistan 1980s * Somalia 1993 Yugoslavia 1999-2000 * Ecuador 2000 * Afghanistan 2001 * Venezuela 2002 * Iraq 2003 * Haiti 2004 * Somalia 2007 to present Honduras 2009 Libya 2011 * Syria 2012 Ukraine 2014 * [arguably, Syria 1949 needs to be added to this list. -DS] The above list does not include numerous coups by U.S.-trained fighters, such as (other than Honduras) those discussed here: “from Isaac Zida of Burkina Faso, Haiti’s Philippe Biamby, and Yahya Jammeh of The Gambia to Egypt’s Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq of Pakistan, and the IMET-educated leaders of the 2009 coup in Honduras, not to mention Mali’s Amadou Sanogo.” These are just in very recent years, by no means a complete list, though the Haiti coup referenced here was earlier than the one included in the list above. We might want to the list of U.S.-backed coups: Venezuela 2018. We should certainly add Bolivia 2019. Also Venezuela 2019. And Venezuela 2020. And it seems we need to add New Zealand 1987. Also Guinea 2021, Mali 2021, Mauritania 2008, Mali 2012, Egypt 2013, Burkina Faso 2015, Mali 2020, etc. We might want to add to the list of coups by U.S.-trained troops: these from a 2022 report in The Intercept: “Since 2008, U.S.-trained officers have attempted at least nine coups (and succeeded in at least eight) across five West African countries, including Burkina Faso (three times), Guinea, Mali (three times), Mauritania, and the Gambia.” Also in 2022, Democracy Now reported on these coups by U.S. trainees just in Africa: Chad 2021, Mali 2021, Mali 2020, Guinea 2021, Sudan 2021, Bukina Faso 2022. 😎

That's why they conveniently blame China for their problems. They forget that the power to elect their own leaders comes with responsibility. Which voter doesn't yearn to enjoy a good life? Is there really a need to vote for a better life? But why can't most democratic societies live up to public expectation to deliver what they demand? This deplorable culture to scapegoat foreign partners and competition of Western democracy means that socioeconomic development challenges are never fundamentally addressed. Chickens eventually come home to roost. Nobody may have the cake, and eat it too. Nobody can forever escape the moment of reckoning. Humanity is past the point of no return. I hope to admire the 5,000-year history of Taiwan and Hong Kong. Seriously. Qin Shihuang is immortalized in history books for changing the course of history. Put simply, China won't exist without his epic revolutionary unification of the warring states. Julius Caesar too, made his mark in a turbulent world by creating the Roman empire, which would since remain the pride of the West. But who will remember Lee Kuan Yew in 500 years? Make no mistake. Lee's version of “benevolent dictatorship” is widely appreciated by his own people for boosting their living standards. However, Singapore's founding father deemed it fit to erect a statue of Sir Stamford Raffles by the Singapore river in tribute to former British colonial rule. There's a fundamental difference between a genuine visionary who would materialize a tectonic shift in regional balance of power to reshape the geopolitical landscape and a masterful follower who made a fortune for his family while leading a young citystate to unprecedented affluence worthy of global envy under the prevailing international order. Mao ended decades of international isolation, blockade and boycott to bring the PRC into the United Nations as a permanent member of the security council.

Among other things, he personally tortured prisoners, in a dungeon he set up in the basement of the National Palace, he created the "Ton-Ton Macoutes," his private torture & death squad, and changed the "Lord's Prayer" to apply to him---"Our Doc, who art in the National Palace..."

There's a fundamental difference between a genuine visionary who would materialize a tectonic shift in regional balance of power to reshape the geopolitical landscape and a masterful follower who made a fortune for his family while leading a young citystate to unprecedented affluence worthy of global envy under the prevailing international order. Mao ended decades of international isolation, blockade and boycott to bring the PRC into the United Nations as a permanent member of the security council. China achieved a diplomatic breakthrough to mend ties with the West via the historic ping pong diplomacy, amid the Cold War, at the height of the Cultural Revolution. twitter.com/HuXijin_GT/status/1739585175770497473?t=NZeOektSzGX7Z5-nsWuurQ&s=19 习近平如果以秦孝公为榜样，大刀阔斧推行法律政治方面的改革，竞争对手从此就不会有好日子过了。你已经掉入了 false dichotomy 的意识形态陷阱，天真认为世界就是所谓集权专政 vs 美国霸权主导的所谓民主体制。你相信民主，所以支持霸权主义。我质疑民主体制的绝对普世优越性，所以坚决反对霸权主义。民主国家支持霸权，实属自欺欺人的伪君子作风。 中共有自知之明，并非坏事。生于忧患，死于安乐。习近平的中庸之道，是否一定让人感觉优柔寡断？新加坡与西方如果对自身的体制过度自信，总是自我感觉良好优越，更有可能出现战略误判，掉入盲点陷阱。这也并非好事。中国走中国该走的路。新加坡人不必为一个五千年文明，杞人忧天。中国的智慧与文化底蕴，或许是你一辈子，都无法理解的。习近平如果真的独断专行，香港著名景点就不会以殖民统治者英国女王维多利亚命名。Queen Victoria: “The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them.”

The history of the Cold War would certainly be, objectively, a history of two sides that barely understood each other working hard to screw each other over, while making disastrous decisions that set their own interests back repeatedly. The west, for example, pushed for a "containment" policy that would confine the Soviets to a limited area of power and influence, while the Soviet Russians felt existentially threatened without a comfortable buffer zone between themselves and their enemies - the different psychologies would drive the two sides to constantly do things that would heighten the insecurity and paranoia of their opponents. (This is, arguably, the history of more than just the Cold War, as much the same thing could be said of many counterproductive history-making decisions made since the establishment of the League of Nations and its successor, the United Nations, in the name of maintaining a "balance of power" and a "world order", such as the disastrous decisions that led to the secret treaties that sparked WWI, or the no less disastrous Treaty of Versailles that made WWII all but inevitable....)
