The US has never intervened in another country's election or leadership selection. That's why Russia's blatant interference in the democratic process of America is such a serious matter.

Not true ... ask former CIA AGENT Philip Agee ..
under Reagan and his CBI (Carribean Basin Initiative) -- to have a larger say in the region, and to have an eye on Cuba -- the US was covertly in support of CIAGA ...
and helped Blinds win the 1980 elections big time. Much like the Putin assist ....
lots of guns, Agee wrote about his and other actions during that time, and became Persona NonGrata in the US circles -- he wrote lots of stories in his book before "disappearing".

NP...I agree 100 %...
The US has historically interfered with any foreign election that threatens to disrupt U.S. interests. That's their foreign policy in a nutshell. The CIA has been the weapon of choice!
And if by chance the CIA is ineffective, then the US military is sent in. Ever question why the mighty US military is taking 15+ years to rid Afghanistan of a few thousand Taliban?
HMMMMM

THese here United states have, and will never, interfere in the politics of any country,
by hacking, spying or any other means.
It is immoral and contrary to every democratic principle.
Not these here States...never...
Hahahahaha!
From Jamaica (Seaga vs Manley, etc) to Guyana (Burnham vs Jagan, etc) - and some may still believe that the US does not attempt to influence the outcome of foreign elections.
Other foreign powers interfere too: UK, Russia, whoever was behind the Abu Bakr coup in T&T, etc, but that absolves none of them.
Illegal or unethical attempts to influence the outcome of nationwide elections in the US have also occurred, as Watergate and the recent Bernie Saunders scandal showed. So, there is "democracy" for you!

We can ask folks who post here - Guyana was way before Agee -
It's fall down funny.

I only gave Curtis a little head start for the New Year ... there are so many examples in the Caribbean and nearby regions of US intervention - he could spend all of 2017 reading and researching .....
The world is a complex place of varying realities. It has been that way from time immemorial. Such realities are interpreted often through whatever lens we individually perceive things.
At the end of the day you have to lie down in bed and decide on which side you prefer to lay your head.
I am conditioned by growing up in the West. My travels have allowed me to see other parts of the world, not all, but I always feel best when I return home, enlightened though it may be by my experiences.
At the end of day, I prefer living in the West. I prefer its political systems, imperfect as they may be.
I am not out to change the world but to adapt as comfortably as I can with whatever freedoms at my disposal to live peacefully.
Come to think of it, I wonder how many of us who wear our critique of America like a badge of honour would prefer to live under a Russia run by Putin.
"And if your night should turn to day
a lot of people would run away...and who the cap fit..."

you know "the West on trial"?
In reply to Curtis
Humorous. Backing "democracy" in some places while backing dictators in others..the double standards and hypocricy are endless.
Now, the other countries (that the US intervened in) never had any leader like Obama. That's why they couldn't sanction and censure the US at the "place and time of their choosing". The powerful Obama is able to wield his authority even in his lame duck days to sanction the culprits like Russia.
In reply to Khaga
If you think that's humorous, wait until the Don and his US Attorney, Preet start kicking Indian diplomats out of the US again!
In reply to StumpCam
You have a bigger problem, illegal Muddie! The Don might even bomb the boat you have to go back in.
In reply to Norm
Always wondered how a container of arms and ammo left the US for T&T so easily!! Man dem people nasty too bad..ah fraid dem in trute..
In reply to ProWI
that's where you get the premise totally wrong - we would prefer to be living in our own countries, in democracies uncontaminated by foreign intervention, building our nations
In reply to Curtis
