      Well you are comparing one totalitarian regime to another. The US is no longer a „western” country.

        Nah, it totally is. Being western isn’t signified by “Good Values” it’s signified by its location on the map.

          That’s why I put western in quotes. It’s a dumb but helpful classification like the „first world”.

          Plenty of western countries are located in the eastern hemisphere. Australia is considered a western country…

            Yeah they often get coined with that term because they have “Western Values” or come under the influence of western countries.
