Wait, I don't even need to talk in conditionals. I Googled it and apparently it has indeed been done several times, and the results are what I expected.

If anything, my point was the same but for people in Asia in regards to China/Russia.
Trust me, Russia and especially China is a much bigger threat to democracy nowadays
And that's not a Godwin because the CCP's rhetoric these recent years is extremely racist and aggressive. They are feeding their population with a warped view of non-Han, non-Chinese people.
Do you think that the answer to this question will be the same post Covid and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?
And, in the same light, China’s increasingly threatening rhetoric against Taiwan?
THAT, and the fact that this conflict is being exported to other democratic countries is a threat to democracy, although not so much to World Peace.
2013 was before Russia's first hostilities against Ukraine and also before China started to flex their military muscles. Also, at that time, the Obama administration was involved in several wars as well as the use of drone warfare against their enemies elsewhere. I don't find it surprising that many would feel that the US was the greater threat at that time, even though the threat level overall was much lower at the time.
By the way, those are countries near another warmonging superpower... What if you poll South America?
20 Years!
Edit: Downvotes, whats the best way to deal with colossal failure... pretend like it never happened. Afghanistan, huh? what are you talking about.
CIA helped in getting Lumumba and wanted to put a halt to his movement. They along with Belgian officers even tried killing him by poisoning his toothpaste.
CIA overthrew Mosaddegh in Iran which lead to where they are today in terms of an oppresive theocratic government.
And US military and CIA are acting as world police in Somalia.
The point is obvious to anyone even tangentially following the israel-palestine conflict: Israel is a close ally to the us and heavily supported by them in their brutal occupation of Palestine.
Yes sir! Will do sir! Thank you for improving the quality of discourse sir!! Where would we be without your guidance sir!
These are the results of people that have lived under a unipolar world and have forgotten the horrors of pre pax americana.
