Basically democracies. It is kind of difficult to consider non-democratic dictators like Putin or Kim Jong-un as representatives of some kind of “community”.
They're only dictators in our minds, because the West has told us they are for years. I've always wondered what's really behind their strategy, but we can't get unbiased news about their countries and the people living there anymore.
It's really interesting to me because they are dictators, they're also the only countries that managed to give the big finger to the US' meddling and disrupting regional politics. Did they become dictators to stop that or is it a chicken and the egg situation? Need more info.
Not everything relates to the US
