The 'Justice' of the Powerful and the Nonsense About Democracy

The article analyzes the hypocrisy of powerful nations, particularly the United States, in imposing their “justice” on other countries, often under the guise of promoting democracy. The author argues that the US, while self-identifying as a protector of democracy, has historically supported and imposed authoritarian regimes when they served its interests, especially in Latin America. The recent crisis in Venezuela and threats to other countries, such as Cuba and Colombia, are examples of this policy. The author notes that the US’s desire to acquire Greenland is another sign of American arrogance and its attempt to impose its will on other nations. The author compares US policy to that of Russia, pointing out that both countries seek to project their power and control areas they deem vital to their interests. They cite the example of Crimea, which was annexed by Russia under questionable legal terms. The article concludes that the rhetoric of democracy and international legality is often used as a pretext for advancing the interests of the powerful, while the actual consequences of their interventions are often devastating for the targeted countries.
