    he nation built on slavery and genocide, that fomented 99% of the coups and dictatorships of the 20th century… started “failing” around Reagan’s time

    Truly though, I thought they were making a connection between a nation built on slavery and genocide, fomenting much of the coups and dictatorships of the 20th century and recent failures. I thought they were just pointing out that there’s a pattern, and that it’s rooted in our country’s history.

          Yes. If being evil was what defined whether a nation was failing, I’m pretty sure the world would have nothing but failed states.

          How can you possibly believe that morality has anything to do with whether or not a state is stable?
