    Strengethed Democracy at Home and Abroad

    There is a very pissed off Pakistan that torpedoed its democratically elected government because Biden demanded that they follow US foreign policy.

    So naturally the Pakistani army assassinated some journalists, disappeared a few hundred people, threw the former PM and his associates in jail, subjected them to torture, and then begged the USA for an IMF loan since all of that caused the economy to literally combust as everyone ran out of USD to pay for imports.

    All while the former COAS is having a lavish trip across Europe, and the previously criminally charged PM is back in town like nothing happened.

    Now, just take this story and apply it to practically every country the USA has even a tiny strategic interest in.

    Basically, the only improvement from the CIA coup days, is that they just tell them to run it through some corrupt national court so Blinken can roll in the next day and call it democratic.
