No, I am a realist. I think these countries have the right to develop their own defenses and sell their own oil and it makes me angry truly, to see the US bully them. I want to see them give the US a bloody nose for sticking its nose where it doesn't belong. But I will never see it because they are far too weak to do anything to capitalist America.
You are talking about the strongest country vis-à-vis the small countries... Venezuela Cuba and even Iran and many other small nations that they already smashed over decades....
Regardless of whatever system they are adopting or how successful they are, size matters, it is not realistic to expect them can fight back the bully as big and powerful as the USA -- can't blame socialism or whatever -ism -- more over ganging together with other NATO members to bully them.
This is just an ugly world whereas the dominant power is playing as ugly bully, but the world has been living under such imperialistic coercion for how many hundred years...
I just hope one day this White bully will end totally, and let the big powers no more be such bad bullies as the AA(Z) Empire has been doing for how many centuries...
in actuality only China is big and strong enough to resist them today, plus Russia for its military might and vast land + natural resources
Just a self-defeat implosion will end this bully in rather more peaceful way for other hot option may end the human civilization with all the WMD. But seeing some faction in power there
, we must feel quite worry on how far they may go or what else they still have in their pockets (e.g. more deadly viruses) etc. I can just hope those in charge in Beijing and Moscow be quite alert of those possible evil moves.
