>>936124184 (OP)because every dictator is out there to destroy them, because united states undermines their credibility
not because us is strong or cool or anything, but because while all the dictators' policies are "we good, everyone else bad, we go take their shit", us's policy is "anyone can become american if they try", which implies that the other guy is not actually bad
russians go "russian world or bust", chinks go "if you aren't born han chinese you are lower than a worm", muslims outright go "sorry brother, your flavor of islam is wrong so you should die", but in america you can have those three guys as neighbors just fine
