By cars and Coca Cola, you mean large, multinational corporations as opposed to small businesses? Businesses do more for the local and national economy than corporations do. Furthermore, it would be more profitable to sell Coca Cola and cars in Russia than in Ukraine, since Russia has 3 times the population.

I'm talking about free market and open trade borders. The thing which made America the most powerful economy in the world. The opposite of that, would be "Imperial Preference" trade systems where America is frozen out - a threat so bad that Wilson took the country into ww1. This is not a new discovery. It's why America entered Europe over 100 years ago. Same threat today. America will prop up democracies because they trade with us and we like trade.

Americans should look after themselves

America fights for its values, for selfish and selfless reasons. Selfish - I explained above. Selfless - America loves an underdog, you know that.

sell Coca Cola and cars in Russia than in Ukraine

If the world lost Ukraine, it would lose the rule of law, it would lose the UN's reason for being, it would lose the 'level playing field' of world trade in exchange for 'spheres of influence' and imperial preference. So don't worry yourself - America will predictably support democracies oversees no matter what.

America should mind their own business. If you guys support democracies so much, why do you let Saudi Arabia, a dictatorship, invade Yemen? Why do you support Turkey, a dictatorship? Your country doesn't give a rat's arse about human rights or democracy. And frankly, you don't have the right to police the planet. Only the privilege to do so, simply because European leaders are cucks and China knows how to manipulate your institutions.

why do you let Saudi Arabia

Because they're the people we work with after the fall of the ottoman empire. There's nobody else, no alternative. (Did you think the houthis are democratic?)

Why do you support Turkey

It's not technically a dictatorship, in fact there's a vote coming up. And turkey are a western nation (believe it or not) that align with America on the important topics. Plus - they make a great russian kebab on the bayraktar.

arse about human rights or democracy

Your world would be very different if that was true

because European leaders are cucks

Boohoo the cucks keep ruining my plans for a new world order. Why won't the cucks let me rape Ukrainians in peace.
