every time the USA introduces sanctions and pressure the current leader becomes more powerful...the more you fight him the more the people stand behind him...
why?
its hard for americans to understand, theres an old saying "100 beatings over somebody elses ass does not hurt at all" the same goes with US foreign policy, americans do not feel it so they do not understand it...
want to ask somebody about US foreign policy? don't as an american LOL
I am not debating whether putin, assad, saddam, ghadaffi, milosevic ect were good or bad, just pointing out that the moment the USA starts installing its own US dictatorship, the people resist...
as for the claim that the USA is a democracy, it has had a 2 party system for the last 140 years, I mean norh korea has has more changes in government in the last 140 years...all kim yong il has to do to make nkore "democratic" like the USA is to allow another party with say his wife as the leader LOL and it would be EXACTLY like the US plutocracy...
the difference between nkorea and USA today apart from the printed money the USA has, is one party
