we gonna talk about American backing of disastrous autocrats in the Middle East and Asia, Ben? or does liberty only apply in the Western world?
Finally, it is perfectly obvious that global freedom has expanded wherever American influence has expanded. According to the Polity Project at the University of Maryland, democracy is actually at a global high, and has been in particularly steep ascent since the death of the Soviet Union13—a collapse brought about, of course, by America’s willingness to “pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty,” as John F. Kennedy put it in his Inaugural Address. The oft-cited bumper sticker history that America freed Europe of tyranny twice, ended the scourge of communism, and has liberated billions around the globe happens to be true. It is similarly undeniable that the spread of peace has been a direct result of American hegemony. On a year-by- year basis, international war deaths have decreased precipitously since World War II, from a high of nearly 200 deaths per 100,000 people at the end of that conflict to a low of well below 0.5 deaths per 100,000 people at the turn of the twentieth century

No borders, No boundaries…
Viewed from Artemis.
We see the Dark side of the moon, we see the beauty of our UniVerse.
Much love.
